I am currently a second year computer forensics student at university. For my final year project I am required to write a program for use in computer forensic investigations. The trouble is, i'm really finding it hard to think of one that a google search doesnt show as already existing!
Any ideas? My programming knowledge isnt amazing, so no CUDA or really complicated maths stuff please (like the other similar topic here), but other ideas are welcome )
Hi dennis, 1st post eh!
Its not essential that you do something that has not already been done for your project., I believe thats more relating to an MSc. Writing a program that could for example examine a single MFT record or a Thumbs.db or an index.dat file from a WinXp system would be a big challenge but just because its been done does not preclude you from showing your approach to the task.
I would agree with neddy. I have created programs that have been done previously, but have added or taken out certain things that I feel would be useful or not useful. You may want to take an approach on doing something that has been done, but put your own personal touches on it and explain what makes yours better than the ones already in place.
