Forensic Analysis

Using Autopsy

Beginner Digital Forensics

In the Autopsy Digital Forensics Lab, participants take on the role of a digital forensics investigator tasked with analyzing digital evidence to uncover critical information in a simulated investigation. Using Autopsy, a widely-used, open-source digital forensics platform, participants will work with a provided file to investigate various aspects of its contents, metadata, and potential artifacts. This hands-on lab immerses participants in real-world forensic challenges, allowing them to extract and analyze file system data, recover deleted files, and identify evidence of suspicious or malicious activity. Through practical exercises, participants will gain experience in examining file structures, applying investigative techniques, and generating reports to document findings. By the end of the lab, they will be well-prepared to leverage Autopsy for forensic analysis in real-world scenarios and effectively contribute to digital investigations.
