Instruction covers the various sources and formats of time stamped data available on Windows systems and the events that can affect those times. Also reviewed are the techniques and free/open source tools available for extracting and compiling this information into a timeline.

FORENSIC REGISTRY ANALYSIS (FRA)

Course Length: 1 day / 8 hours

DIGITAL IMMUNIZATION AND DETECTION (DID)

Length: TBD (Responsive to Client’s Requirements)
Support Overview:
Digital Immunization and Detection provides pre-travel digital forensic immunization, and then post-travel virtual and physical alteration detection for client data systems and physical components, focusing on mitigating security risks and identifying infections when pre-travel mitigation steps were not possible. Expert analysts obtain physical and virtual images of all client devices pre-travel, and then identify/isolate potential malware infections post-travel. This service is tailored to each client’s specific geographic exposure and regionally-specific hostile security risks.

DIGITAL LITTER ANALYSIS (DLA)
