This specialist-level course is for experienced forensic investigators who want to acquire the knowledge and skills to navigate, identify, capture and examine data from Linux-based systems.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Linux is an increasingly popular operating system. This two-day course will provide you with a practical understanding from a forensic perspective of how to deal with a Linux system, and requires no previous Linux knowledge. You will develop a core understanding of the file system data structures and key files so that they can be confident in capturing potential digital evidence. Throughout the course you will apply this knowledge in hands-on exercises to demonstrate and reinforce understanding, using both a Linux environment and Windows based forensic software.

Completion of the 7Safe CFIP course is highly recommended. Alternatively you will need an understanding of digital forensic principles and practices. No Linux experience is necessary.

Who Should Attend?

  • Forensic practitioners

  • Systems administrators
