First Assignment, Exercise Session Room, and Tentative Exam Dates
Written on 02.05.2025 12:08 by Roman Wetenkamp
Dear students,
here are three news items I would like to announce:
First Practical Sheet
The first practical sheet has just been released. You have time until May 14, 23:59 (German time) to submit the online test and your proof of work file. We can only accept solutions if you submit both.
The scenario will be about rhinographic material - a safe replacement for child porn crimes, an important aspect of forensic work. I would recommend to use Autopsy for this practical sheet, but there are also other tools that you can use. You will also need to do some research in the internet and probably use some other tools in addition. While the GUI version of Autopsy is recommended, the web-UI version will likely suffice too. Please do not post partial solutions or questions containing solutions in the forum.
Clarification (May 3rd):
The questions for the assignment are available in the online test that you find on your personal status page. You can open this test and edit your answers arbitrarily often without any other time limit than May 14. Additionally, I will upload a PDF print in CMS, but that is just for your convenience. Do not hesitate to open the test now to see what the questions look like.
Exercise Session Room
As mentioned last time, we will not have the CISPA lecture hall next week (May 8). Instead, we will have the lecture hall 003 in E1.3. Thanks to the one student pointing out to me that it is free. :) All dates and rooms in the timetable were updated. Make sure to load a new *.ics file if you added it to your own calendar.
Tentative Exam Dates
The final exam will likely take place on August 8, between 10 and 12. I am still missing the university's final confirmation, but I do not expect that to change. We will also offer a re-exam that will likely take place on September 24 in the afternoon. I will inform you once everything is fixed and the registration on CMS/LSF is open.
Have a great weekend and see you on Thursday!
Best regards,
Roman
