Computer Science Homework Help

Scenario

A new manager comes to you and asks you that he keeps hearing about reading/write blockers for forensic imaging. He’s not sure what that is. He also is confused because he’s heard that there are two different types (software and hardware). Also, there are commercial and open-source tools. He knows you just took a course in digital forensics so he asks you to prepare a memo for him explaining all that.

Assignment

1. Research on what is a forensic read/write blocker and what is the difference between a hardware and a software version?
2. Research on what tools are available e.g. commercial (you buy) or open-source (free) and what types are available.
3. Identify some situations where it makes sense to use the hardware versions or when it makes sense to use software versions?
4. Put it all together and summarize it for your manager! No more than 2 pages, please.

Note : 3 to 4 Pages
