Cyber Forensics of mobile and embedded devices: Midterm Exam

All answers to questions should be in your own words. Do not copy the entire text of questions into you answer sheet. This is an essay exam meant to be completed over a period of approximately 5 hours. It will be due electronically to the people you were told to turn it into or via Blackboard. DO NOT COPY VERBATIM INFORMATION FROM BOOKS OR OTHER ONLINE SOURCES. Your entire exam as typed out by you will be submitted to the safe assign system. Significant plagiarism will result in a deduction of points equivalent to the percentage of plagiarism detected. USE YOUR OWN WORDS! This is a graduate level examination and analysis and thinking skills are highly regarded. That being said you must have the right answer. Cite your sources. Use good grammar and spelling.

You will be turning this in via TWO formats. READ THIS ENTIRE EXAM BEFORE STARTING.
