Answer:The 2009-M57-Patents scenario tracks the first four weeks of corporate history of the M57 Patents company. The company started operation on Friday, November 13th, 2009, and ceased operation on Saturday, December 12, 2009. As might be imagined in the business of outsourced patent searching, lots of other activities were going on at M57-Patents.

Two ways of working the scenario are as a disk forensics exercise (students are provided with disk images of all the systems as they were on the last day) and as a network forensics exercise (students are provided with all of the packets in and out of the corporate network). The scenario data can also be used to support computer forensics research, as the hard drive of each computer and each computer’s memory were imaged every day.
