DO NOT simply copy the paragraphs about computer forensics from the textbook.  Anyone doing so will automatically receive a 0.  You must do your own research for this assignment.

You must include a bibliography indicating where you obtained your information.  Remember that directly copying from a source is considered plagiarism.  Cite your sources and put the information you find into your own words.
