What You Will Learn
You will learn how to use the programs in Maresware: The Suite, which includes programs for computer forensics, data analysis, and information security. You will gain experience using Maresware :Computer Forensics software to conduct a forensic analysis of computers, with a significant amount of hands-on practice. In addition, you will gain an introduction to processing large amounts of data using Maresware: Data Analysis software. You will see a demonstration of the Hashkeeper paradigm, using our own Hash Set CD, and learn how to produce a variety of forensic analyses in seconds rather than minutes or hours. We find that untrained Maresware users often underutilize the capabilities of this software. So, we start by familiarizing you with the capabilities of the software. Then you will be coached in developing new forensic procedures, many of which are simply unavailable with other software. We will show you Maresware pushed to its processing limits; only at that level can you fully appreciate its efficiency and flexibility for forensic and data analysis tasks. This experience in developing new procedures will enhance your ability to think outside the box in your day to day work--with whatever tools you use. Discussions will include a comparative analysis of various forensic processing techniques. This is designed to broaden your own approach to forensic work as well as to strengthen your ability to defend your work in court or elsewhere.The seminar is five (5) full days.
Who Should Attend
Maresware training is helpful to new users of our software and to current users who want to further explore the capabilities of the software. These seminars will also enhance your knowledge of how to properly handle and process electronic evidence and data. Because Maresware has a wide variety of applications, our training seminars attract students from a wide variety of fields and specialties, including law enforcement, forensic attorneys, human resources staff, IT specialists, corporate security officers, and private investigators. Forensic auditors and fraud examiners who do financial (or contract fraud) investigations involving very large data files find our training invaluable. In short, anyone who uses computers to perform computer investigations or to analyze very large data files.
Prerequisites
You need to have a thorough knowledge of command line syntax and know how to write batch files. (Many of the classroom exercises require that a batch file be written in order to complete the assignment.) A technical knowledge of the DOS and Windows operating systems is a plus, though not required. We currently use the training facility at the Norcross Group which has sufficient desktop computers to go around. However, using your own familiar laptop is acceptable. Fees
The fee for the seminar is $1300.00 per person ($1100. for government or law enforcement). Lodging is not included. Deadline for registration and payment is generally 30 days prior to the starting date. If your organization uses purchase orders or has an unusual payment procedure, please call to request special payment arrangements. Cancellation Policy
If you cannot attend we encourage you to send a substitute. If you are unable to do so, we will consider a request for a refund of your registration fee, if requested no later than 14 days prior to the start of the seminar. When we can honor a refund request, the refund is reduced by a $100. service charge.
Discounts on Maresware Software Purchases
We furnish a copy of Maresware:The Suite for your use during the seminar. But because many of our students already have their Maresware, we do not provide a take-home copy as part of the registration fee. If you already have a licensed copy of Maresware,and you bring your license disk with you, you will receive the current version(at no cost) on the first day of the seminar. you bring your registration disk with you. If you want to purchase the software, you must make your purchase directly from Mares and Company within 60 days of registering for the class. The discounted price is $300.( Maresware: The Suite normally sells for $410.) You may also purchase the software directly from Mares and Company at this discount price during the seminar. Maresware Plus Training: An Optional Way to Purchase Maresware This option is especially popular with those organizations who have a software budget but minimal training funds. If you wish, you can obtain Maresware user training as part of your software purchase when you select Maresware: The Suite Plus Training. This provides savings over purchasing these separately. It also provides a purchasing option where budget restrictions limit training expenditures.
