🔍 Boot Camp Overview

The Digital Forensics Fast Track program is engineered for security professionals, IT engineers, and aspiring analysts seeking a concentrated foundation in digital investigations. This intensive 4-week course navigates through evidence acquisition, disk forensics, OS artifacts, memory inspection, network PCAPs, malware detection, and formal forensic report composition.

Core Competencies Acquired:

✓ Digital Evidence Handling & Chain of Custody compliance.
✓ Investigation Methodology & Bit-Stream forensic imaging.
✓ Disk and File System Analysis (NTFS, FAT, EXT, APFS).
✓ Windows Forensics (Registry Hives, Event Logs, Browser Artifacts).
✓ Memory Investigation (RAM triage, process tree analysis).
✓ Network Packet Analysis (PCAP reconstruction, Wireshark).
✓ Mobile Device Investigation (Android artifacts, WhatsApp).
✓ Linux and macOS Artifact extraction.
✓ Malware Analysis Fundamentals (static indicators, IOC extraction).
✓ Steganography Detection & hidden payload extraction.
✓ Email Investigation (headers parsing, SPF, DKIM, DMARC).
✓ Log Analysis & incident timeline reconstruction.
