1. An insurance company has asked your computer forensics firm to review a case for an arson investigation. The suspected arsonist has already been arrested. During the raid, a desktop computer was seized. The computer was running at the time of the raid, and Mr. Kasey was using the computer at that time. A forensic image of Mr. Kasey’s hard drive is provided (the Firestarter.dd file). Your boss have asked you examine the provided forensic image and to create a list of search terms that apply to the case, such as explosives, bombs, and fires to be used  for evidence that could link him to acts of arson.

Task 1: Run the search in your preferred computer forensics tool and take screenshots as evidence of any findings.

Task 2: Report must include the location of the file when you document any images you deem as evidentiary value.

Task 3: Report must include your concluding statements and recommendations.
