Listen Later

In this lesson, you’ll learn about:
  • Building a digital forensics “utility belt” using open-source and low-cost tools to support incident response and investigations.
  • All-in-one forensic suites, including bootable environments and remote response platforms that combine multiple tools for disk analysis, memory inspection, and evidence handling.
  • Disk imaging and recovery techniques, using forensic imaging tools to create verified copies of drives and recovery utilities to restore deleted partitions and files.
  • Evidence collection and artifact analysis, leveraging specialized tools to extract user activity, scan disk images for sensitive data, and reconstruct network communications.
  • Incident management and investigation tracking, using dedicated platforms to document cases, manage workflows, and correlate evidence across multiple systems.
  • Log analysis and threat detection, centralizing logs and applying pattern analysis to identify suspicious behavior and indicators of compromise.
  • Platform-specific forensic tools, including utilities designed for Windows and macOS to detect persistence mechanisms, analyze file systems, and investigate malware activity.
  • Practical incident response workflows, integrating multiple tools to collect, preserve, analyze, and document digital evidence in a structured and defensible manner.
