Role of government/forensics  Search, Seizure, and Analysis of Computers:  currently, the government can seize any computer... if there is “sufficient” evidence of criminal use.  equipment can be seized indefinitely. computer forensics are needed to analyze seizures:  hard drives (deleted files)  cracking encryption keys  internal “wear and tear” indicating usage patterns  requires significant training/research

Preventive measures for hacking  The most popular method of protection against hacking home systems is to have an antivirus soft ware.  Firewalls act as a deterrent to hacking by protecting private networks from public.  Have the system backup.
