Course Overview

Digital Forensics is a comprehensive course designed to introduce learners to the principles and processes involved in identifying, acquiring, preserving, and analyzing digital evidence. The course provides a structured understanding of how forensic investigators examine digital systems and storage devices to uncover evidence while maintaining evidence integrity throughout an investigation. It begins with the fundamentals of digital forensics, its uses, the skills required by forensic professionals, Locard’s Exchange Principle, and key technical concepts.

The course then focuses on storage and file systems, helping learners understand hard disk structures, different storage types, file system organization, and the distinction between allocated, unallocated, slack, and free space. It also introduces the forensic significance of deleted and wiped files, establishing the foundation required for examining digital storage during investigations.

A major part of the course covers digital evidence acquisition and forensic imaging. Learners explore how to identify disk regions that may contain evidence, understand evidence acquisition and imaging concepts, examine different acquisition types and methods, and consider forensic acquisition approaches for different platforms. The course also emphasizes chain of custody, evidence handling, and evidence integrity, which are essential for maintaining the reliability of digital evidence.

The course further develops skills in digital evidence analysis and registry forensics. Learners examine the digital forensics analysis process, scope of analysis, logical and deleted data, and the complete acquisition-to-reporting cycle. Registry forensics introduces registry file acquisition, registry structure, forensic analysis using AccessData FTK Imager, and common issues encountered during registry analysis.

Finally, learners explore Windows artifacts and USB device forensics, including Windows registry structures, registry and supportive hives, Windows system artifacts, USB flash-drive storage and forensic analysis, and techniques for recovering information from broken, destroyed, or monolithic USB flash drives.

By the end of the course, learners will have a structured understanding of the digital forensic investigation process, from understanding digital evidence and storage systems to acquiring forensic images, maintaining evidence integrity, analyzing registry and Windows artifacts, and investigating USB storage devices.
