Suggestion #2 The Computer You Need
In my last post, I started answering the question I am most asked by college students - "How do I learn about digital forensics?"
There is good news, if you are a student just learning digital forensics or cybersecurity, you do not need a lot of expensive equipment. You will need a Windows-based computer. If you already have a MAC, of course, you do not need another computer, because you can boot camp your MAC and put Windows on it. With either of these, you will also be running Linux. You may either run it in a virtual machine or install it on your computer.
You will find it easier if your computer has at least 8 GB of RAM, 100 GB free hard drive space and the latest Windows operating system. However, honestly, you can learn with any working computer. Once you start working in digital forensic or cybersecurity, you will need a much more powerful computer and other hardware -- but that's a topic for another post.
