What Our Courses Look Like
A sample from FCMP-1001 — Introduction to Digital Forensics
Module 1 — What Is Digital Evidence?
Learning Objectives
- ✓ Define digital evidence and distinguish it from physical evidence
- ✓ Identify the four categories of digital evidence: stored, transmitted, processing, and latent
- ✓ Understand why chain of custody is the foundation of forensic validity
- ✓ Recognize the legal admissibility requirements in your jurisdiction
Sample Assessment Question
“A forensic examiner acquires a disk image of a suspect device without first documenting the device's serial number, acquisition date, and hash value. Which of the following best describes the primary legal risk?”
A) The image cannot be used for analysis
B) Chain of custody may be challenged in court ✓
C) The image is automatically inadmissible
D) Acquisition methodology is irrelevant if the image is complete
“Every question in our courses is drawn from real casework or court scenarios. We don't ask about textbook definitions — we ask about decisions.”
— Dr. Patrick A. Linton, ByteWire Forensics Academy
