Pac IT Pros' TechDays - Computer Forensics

Join Pac IT Pro's at their event on Monday April 12th from 9-5 at Microsoft's SF Office on Market Street, just steps from the Powell Street BART/MUNI station and the 5th & Mission Parking Garage, for a must attend hands-on training in computer forensics.

In this workshop you will be given the software tools he uses to dig into computer memory, and hard drives for looking for evidence. You will learn how to use the tools law enforcement uses to analyze machines for evidence. Ideally students bring a laptop where they can dual-booting into a clean install of Microsoft Windows XP, but most of our hands-on exercises should also work fine if Windows is running in a virtual machine. This is computer forensics, so no software will be installed on the computer.

The presenter Mark Spencer is President of Arsenal Consulting, started his career in computer forensics in 1998, has worked with the Suffolk County (Boston, MA) DA's office as a computer crime scene investigator and teaches Computer Forensics at a Boston area college. And this guy knows his stuff.

If you pre-Register you can attend for $125.

See you there!

Hi Tim,

Couple quick clarifications... my career in computer forensics started in 1998, so I haven't hit 14 years yet, and I've spent time in both in law-enforcement and consulting since then.

Ideally students will be dual-booting into a clean install of Microsoft Windows XP, but most of our hands-on exercises should also work fine if Windows is running in a virtual machine.

Pac IT Pro's will be sending out some additional information in the next couple days.

Thanks for getting the word out!
