Study Notes
Digital Forensic Concepts
- Digital forensics supports legal cases, internal investigations, and incident response.
- Techniques include data acquisition and analysis from various digital artifacts, such as drives and files.
- Planning for forensic data gathering is essential to maintain a complete narrative of incidents.
Data Gathering and Documentation
- Collecting evidence involves careful documentation of observations, conclusions, and supporting evidence.
- Timelines, timestamps, file metadata, and event logs are critical in reconstructing the sequence of events.
- Interviews with involved individuals can provide additional insights that aid investigations.
Data Breach Notification and Compliance
- Data breach notification laws vary internationally and within the U.S., impacting response strategies.
- Contracts often stipulate maximum notification times to customers regarding breaches, which can vary widely.
- Organizations using cloud services need strategies for handling incidents without relying solely on direct forensic techniques.
Regulation and Jurisdiction
- Venue specifies where legal cases are tried; contracts often favor the service provider's location.
- Nexus denotes the connection between the case and the jurisdiction, influencing legal outcomes.
Forensic Tools and Techniques
- Image analysis tools like Autopsy assist in identifying and analyzing files effectively. -- note aorellana: This is a software (autopsy Assist), it not very relevant for the exam.
- Timelines within tools like Autopsy can show filesystem changes and help correlate events to incidents.
- Accurate time settings are crucial; inaccuracies can lead to flawed forensic analysis.
Chain of Custody and Data Acquisition
- Legal holds require preservation of relevant data; e-discovery must provide forensic data for legal proceedings.
- Acquisitions must consider the order of volatility to prioritize what data to capture first.
Validation and Preservation
- Hashing methods, such as MD5 and SHA1, validate the integrity of acquired data but have some vulnerabilities.
- Following chain-of-custody protocols and using write blockers helps ensure data preservation is effective.
Forensic Reporting
- Forensic reports should summarize findings, explain processes, and detail limitations impacting investigations.
- Recommendations must be clear and supported by evidence, providing a comprehensive overview of the investigation.
Practical Application
- To create an exact disk image on Linux, the command used should be
dd, an essential tool for forensic acquisitions.
