What you'll learn

Do you like the idea of being able to find what others cannot? In this course, Digital Forensics: Getting Started with File Systems, you'll dive into learning about digital forensics, file systems, and how digital forensic investigators use them to prove what did or did not happen on a system. You'll begin by covering topics, such as tracks, sectors, clusters, blocks, and slack space. Next, you'll explore deeper into permissions and metadata. Finally, you'll take a look into time stamps, and journaling all while making use of Autopsy as your tool. By the end this course, you’ll know how to navigate Autopsy and the native Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X operating systems to find file system level forensic evidence.
