CI 101 - Secure Techniques for Onsite Previewing (June 2018)

This course covers the usage and configuration of two tools (Paladin/Autopsy and osTriage) designed to preview a non-mobile digital device and export files of evidentiary value. Day One is designed to preview a non-mobile digital device and export files of evidentiary value from a device that is powered on. Day Two is designed to preview a non-mobile digital device and export files of evidentiary value from a device that is powered off. Students who bring an external USB hard drive (32GB minimum) will be able to leave with the same setup shown in class.

Learn why you should preview, who can perform a preview, when to conduct a preview, and how to start a preview whether a device is on or off. * Paladin/Autopsy. Forensically boot a device, then quickly preview and export digital evidence found on scene. * osTriage. Identify when encryption is present, image RAM memory, display browser history, preview and export existing files, and much more. * Hands-on experience.
