An Active/Cooperative Role-based Open Source Digital Labware for Information Forensics Education
Information forensics is one of the fast growing and very demanding courses in the information security area. This emerging discipline has an increasing demand to provide hands-on labs for students to gain real-world experience. The purpose of this paper is twofold First, we propose a new active and cooperative role-based learning model in design of the information forensics laboratory. This will allow the students to (ⅰ) actively play various roles individually in the crime investigation; (ⅱ) cooperate in team on the case investigations; and (ⅲ) identify effective Free Open Source Software (FOSS) toolkits to conduct the investigations.. We developed lab modules for students to participate and also allow students themselves to propose and design lab projects to have other students involvedSecond,we propose a complete FOSS Laboratory framework which is very accessible,affordable, and adoptable. Most of the labs are on-line accessible except some physical device-based lab such as information investigation on storage media. This lab is also expandable that the plug-in of new lab modules and updating existing modules are very easy.This labware itself is a FOSS project that professors and students everywhere can use the lab and contribute their related components to this project as well.
