Zusammenfassung
In contrast to the USA and the UK, the academic field of forensic computing is still in ist infancy in Germany. To foster the exchange of experiences, we report on lessons learnt in teaching two graduate level courses in forensic computing at a German university. The focus of the courses was to give a research-oriented introduction into the field. The first course, a regular lecture, was accompanied by two practical exercises: (1) a live-analysis of a compromised honeypot, and (2) a dead-analysis of a set of hard disks purchased on the web. The second course was a labatory course with extensive experiments including forensic analysis of mobile phones. We give an overview over these courses and pay special attention to the reports resulting from the exercises which clearly document the ubiquity of data avilable to forensic analysis.
