Use Autopsy tool to gather forensics data for analysis. You are simulating the process of gathering this data, so you do not need to investigate a compromised device or system. The project deliverables are as follows:

The paper should provide the following information: 

· Executive Summary of your investigation, including a description of the device or systems and the Autopsy tool used for the forensics analysis.

· Step-by-step description you used to gather data for analysis

· Report on the information that was obtainable from the device

· Graphics evidence that you conducted the forensics data gathering and analysis
