Purpose: Mobile computing presents unique challenges and opportunities for forensics professionals. This exercise will emphasize the value of mobile data in the form of exchangeable image file (EXIF) data. Instructions: Take notes that document your steps because notes are a key part of forensics investigations. I suggest a digital copy of your notes for reporting purposes. Data Capture 1. Use the provided images of the suspect that were acquired from that suspect's phone. The suspect claimed that he was sick and at home the entire weekend of April 8-10 2022 and that he never left his home in Austin, Texas. Analysis 2. Research and identify a good choice for an EXIF viewer. For the purpose of this class, there are many online options that do not require you to install software or pay a fee. 3. Use your choice of EXIF viewer to determine which provided images contain EXIF data. 4. Identify information that would be helpful for corroborating or contradicting the suspect's claim. 5. Location data such as coordinates can be searched using a number of methods. Some may be more reliable than others. Use an online method such as Google to identify the geographic location of the EXIF location data. 6. Conduct online research to identify at least three free digital forensics software tools that process EXIF data. Submit your forensics notes that include the location data, your analysis of the data location, and identity of the location.
