Module 1: Knowledge Check Questions 1-5
- These questions are designed to test learner knowledge of module 1 content.
Module 2: Digital Evidence
- Digital evidence is defined as facts or information stored (or retrieved) digitally indicating a claim's accuracy. Includes data from various digital storage devices.
What is Digital Data?
- Digital data is fundamentally stored as binary code (0s and 1s).
- Eight binary digits form a byte.
Digital Data in Mobile Devices
- Mobile devices have high storage capacities and store data in many forms (messages, apps, call logs, photos, videos, etc.).
Principles of Digital Evidence
- Digital evidence needs respect and attention equivalent to physical evidence.
- Digital evidence can be found on various devices and storage mediums.
- Digital evidence needs particular forensic extraction methods which is addressed in later modules.
Handling Digital Evidence
- Proper procedures are important to properly preserve the integrity of seized evidence.
Digital Devices (in general)
- Mobile devices have various data storage areas (SIM cards, memory cards, handsets, etc.)
Forensic Data Recovery
- Multiple ways exist to extract data (logical vs. physical extraction).
Different Extraction Methods
- Logical and Physical extractions are different approaches to retrieve data (detailed later).
- XRY enables using multiple interfaces to extract data (cable, Bluetooth, WiFi).
What Can Be Retrieved?
- Various data types (live, deleted) from different device types (from various platforms) including SIM cards, phones, and memory cards.
Additional Information (from providers)
- Various information sources (e.g., from service providers) may be consulted to further analyze the digital evidence.
Module 2: Knowledge Check Questions 1-5
- These questions assess module 2 knowledge.
