catching the criminal when he is working on the specific computer in question
question # 5
multiple choice
forensic inspection within persistent data will not find _____.
web sites visited recently
password - protected records
overwritten or erased text files
e - mails sent

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Web sites visited recently" can be found in persistent data (e.g., browser history).
• "Password - protected records" still exist as files in persistent storage (even if encrypted/password - protected, the file itself is there).
• "Overwritten or erased text files" are typically not recoverable through normal forensic inspection of persistent data, as overwriting or erasure (in a way that the data is no longer in the original storage location) makes them hard to find.
• "e - mails sent" can be found in persistent data (e.g., in email client storage or server - side if cached).

So the option that forensic inspection within persistent data will NOT find is overwritten or erased text files.

Answer:

The option "overwritten or erased text files" (the third option in the list of choices for Question #5).
