Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the tools and techniques used to acquire and collect digital forensic evidence. We learned about the effective use of tools such as KAPE and FTK Imager, which can help us to properly acquire evidence and ensure its integrity. By familiarizing ourselves with these tools, we can better navigate the complexities of forensic investigations and preserve the CoC for the evidence we collect.

By understanding this chapter, you will be able to collect and preserve digital evidence using various tools.

In the next chapter, we will explore the field of memory forensics. Memory forensics is the process of analyzing a computer’s volatile memory, which can provide valuable insights into active processes, network connections, and potential malicious activity. We will discuss prominent tools and methodologies used in memory forensics, and we will learn how to use these tools to uncover advanced threats and expose intricate attack vectors.
