Musa Husseini will talk about how court-validated tools and practices are used to solve corporate and criminal cases involving the use of computer systems.

In this presentation, we will answer the following questions:

• How to recover data from computers while preserving evidential integrity.

• How to securely store and handle recovered data.

• How to find the significant information in a large volume of data.

• How to present the information to a court of law.

Mr. Husseini graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 1996 with a major in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. He taught numerous highly technical subjects including DOS, Windows 9x/2K/XP/2003, Linux, system architecture and the boot process, examination techniques and procedures, recovery of deleted files, computer networking and systems administration. He has over 10 years of experience in the IT field. His instruction focuses on understanding the invasive threat of computer crimes and the use of practical end-user available counter measures.

Computer forensics deals with the preservation, identification, extraction, documentation, and interpretation of computer media for evidentiary and/or root cause analysis. The need for computer forensic services and equipment has derived from the widespread use of personal computers and mobile devices in both business and the home and the subsequent needs of crime investigators to have access to computer based information.
