This course builds on the concepts introduced in "Cybercop (CC) 101 - Basic Digital Forensic Imaging" (BDFI). It covers the architecture and functionality of the Windows NT File System, the FAT and the ExFAT File System, and related directory entry information for locating files on electronic devices. Topical areas include file headers and file hashing, recovery of deleted files and long file names, and techniques for discovering potential evidence that might otherwise be overlooked.

Crime and violence are highly socially connected. As criminal justice practitioners continue to learn about the small percent of the population responsible for the majority of violence, they have to use data analysis tools to focus resources (prevention, intervention, and enforcement) on the small world of people at high risk for being involved in violence, either as offenders or victims. This webinar will examine how social network analysis (SNA) can be applied to criminal justice data to better understand the small world of violence.

This course covers the fundamentals of computer operations, hardware function, and configuration, as well as best practices for the protection, preservation, and imaging of digital evidence.

This course incorporates computer forensic applications that experienced practitioners are currently using in the field.

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. Other topics include a detailed examination of the process of previewing: what previewing is, why and when it should be done, who can conduct a preview, and differences in procedure for starting a preview depending on whether a device is on or off. * What is previewing? 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. Work with Paladin/Autopsy and osTriage, and leave the course with the same setup shown in class.
