Description

In Milestone Two, you will create credible fictitious digital evidence to support your case. This evidence will logically follow the nature and extent of your selected case submitted in Milestone One. It will take some creativity on your part to research and populate the relevant data type(s), including data retrieved by computer forensics and log data, relevant to the case

ACC 427 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Mock Cyber-Crime Investigation
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an investigative summary of your selected sample case. Based on the knowledge obtained in this
course, you will research a relevant case, explain if the case is an internal or external threat, identify logical locations of digital evidence, explain how to properly
process the information, demonstrate legal research abilities, and support your chosen tools and methods. Finally, you will offer examples of similar applicable
laws for your case and ultimately present the entire picture in one succinct document for presentation.
Prompt: In Milestone Two, you will create credible fictitious digital evidence to support your case. This evidence will logically follow the nature and extent of
your selected case, submitted in Milestone One. It will take some creativity on your part to research and populate the relevant data type(s), including data
retrieved by computer forensics and log data, relevant to the case. In your write-up, you will demonstrate your firm grasp of the involved technology or
technologies and the characteristics of strong evidence.

Critical Elements Proficient (100%) Needs Improvement (70%) Not Evident (0%) Value
Logically Relevant Sample digital evidence logically follows
from the type of case selected
The logical connection between the case
and the sample evidence is lacking
sufficient explanation
There is no attempt to make a logical
connection between the case and sample
evidence
25
Technology Sample evidence demonstrates a firm
grasp of the involved technologies
Grasp of the involved technologies is
present though insufficient as
demonstrated by the wrong type of date,
incomplete data, incorrect formatting, or
inconsistent data types
Demonstrates a poor grasp of the involved
technologies
25
Strength of Evidence The sample evidence provides data that
logically and convincingly support the court
findings (outcome)
The logical connection between the sample
evidence and court findings is somewhat
lacking in coherence, subjecting the
evidence to question
There is no logical connection between the
sample evidence and court outcomes
30
Formatting Data is formatted for easy comprehension
by third parties such as attorneys, judges,
witnesses
Data is presented in a format that is not
readily understood on its own, thus
requiring explanation
Data is confusing, illogical, or requires
extensive explanation
