Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Digital forensics is a critical skill for penetration testers, incident responders, and cybersecurity professionals. It involves collecting, preserving, analyzing, and presenting digital evidence in a way that’s legally admissible and technically accurate. This course emphasizes the intersection of ethical hacking and forensic investigation, teaching how pentesters can leverage forensic tools to uncover traces of attacks, identify security breaches, and analyze compromised systems in depth. With cybercrime evolving rapidly, mastering digital forensics ensures professionals are equipped not only to defend but also to trace back malicious activity.

This course begins with the setup of a comprehensive forensic lab environment using VirtualBox, including installations of CSI Linux, Kali in forensic mode, Windows 10, and Metasploitable2. Learners then explore Kali's forensic mode and Autopsy to examine disk images. Further, it introduces case management tools like WebMap, and dives into OSINT techniques using CSI Linux and Sherlock. The course also teaches how to utilize Shodan for scanning vulnerable devices and databases, before progressing to advanced computer forensics tasks like registry analysis, email header review, and memory forensics with the Volatility Framework. Finally, learners engage with steganography, EXIF metadata, and network forensics using Wireshark to analyze traffic and capture handshakes.

By the end, learners gain hands-on proficiency in forensic tools, memory analysis, OSINT, and Wireshark, strengthening their ability to analyze breaches and perform effective digital investigations.
