In computer forensics, you are often confronted with a different organisation of multi-byte values. Two common ways to order the bytes are big-endian (e.g. SUN Sparc, Apple) and little-endian (e.g. x86 systems). i. Give a definition of both types of endianness. ii. An unsigned integer of length 4 bytes (e.g. the address of the first sector of a partition) is stored within the bytes b2 b3 b4 b5 (remark: the first byte is bo) of the following byte sequence: 01A3 B267 287C E632 What is the decimal value of the unsigned integer in big-endian and little-endian, respectively?
