Advanced Responders: Search and Seizure of Networks

Computer networks have been increasing in use for several years as businesses and home users discover the advantages and conveniences they offer. Wireless networking technologies have further increased their popularity due to the relative ease of setting up a wireless network and overall lower costs in equipment and maintenance. This trend has resulted in the technology industry producing a wide variety of software and hardware products aimed at further expanding the use of networks beyond simple file and Internet sharing. This includes various types of remote storage, dedicated print servers, multimedia stations, VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) communications, monitoring / surveillance cameras, and more. Unfortunately, the implementation of wireless technologies also poses significant security threats that can be, and have been, exploited for criminal acts. Furthermore, any type of networking technology, wired or wireless, presents additional challenges to law enforcement when attempting to search and seize evidence of a crime.

This course immerses law enforcement into wired and wireless networks, several types of networking devices, and the complexities they can create for an investigation and resulting search and seizure of evidence.
