Lecturing infrastructure

Since December 1st 2017 we are developing infrastructure for practical student work, as part of preparation for a new study "Information security and digital forensics" at TVZ.
It is a complex infrastructure, based on forensic lab, where forensic lab management system will be key tool to provide environment  for students and staff.

We are actually working based on some research work done earlier by our students and coworkers, but still there is a lot to do. I've mentored and advised plenty of student graduation thesis and seminal works with aim to keep tested set of tools and practices for this emerging curriculum.
Some basic ideas how to do this are roughly described in some of our papers like  "Uvođenje novih sadržaja u nastavu digitalne forenzike i kibernetičke sigurnosti upotrebom studentskih radovas" or "Concepts and Methodology in Mobile Devices Digital Forensics Education and Training" published on MIPRO.

Basically we have to compile education process and necessary paperwork into one streamlined environment where we can work without much fuss.  To implement whole process better to say to tweak it, excellent resources are books:

As practical approach we are opting for combination of open source and commercial tools. It will be set of tools and platforms available to students to do tasks and researches.

It was a long pause

It was a long pause since last post, it was eventful but somehow I have not feel to write down anything.
I've changed my job now I'm full time lecturer and TVZ Zagreb, just last Friday our new curriculum  get acceptance so I'm preparing infrastructure and all other thnigies necessary for start at September 2018

I'll post about preparations, actions lesson learned etc as it will go ..
My current work is based on the plenty of students research and development done during last years while we were shaping ideas what to do and how to do it in  our local rather poor country.

Last few years student under my mentorship work was aimed to provide set of forensics / cybersecuirity tools evaluations and tests in local enviroment. So now we have set of graduation thesis, seminal works and other papers prepared as start-up materials. Foreman, GRR, EnCase and plenty others are ready to be tailored into new curriculum.
