Join the Libraries' Digital Archivist, Kari Smith, to learn about how digital forensics tools and techniques can help you learn about your files.  For the hands-on workshop, you will bring your laptop and we will install the BitCurator environment. We will use tools such as a disk imager, BulkExtractor, ExifViewer, and other tools to understand if there is PII in your files.  We will explore what's in your files and how to use digital forensics tools to view, extract, and report on files.

This workshop will require your personal laptop running a virtual machine, specifically using either VMware or VirtualBox. We will be loading software onto your computer, so you need permissions to do this. You may bring a small capacity external USB drive (1GB or smaller) that we can image for the class.  We will also provide a USB drive with files from the Personal Digital Archiving course.
