Forensic Analysis
Forensic Data Analysis (FDA) is a branch of Digital forensics. It examines structured data with
regard to incidents of financial crime. The aim is to discover and analyze patterss of fraudulent
activities, Data from application systems or fiom their underlying databases is referred to as
structured data,
‘Unstructured date in contrast i taken from communication and office applications or from mobile
vices. This data has no overarching structure and analysis thereof me

forensies.
Autopsy
Autopsy is a digital forensics platform and graphical interface to The Sleuth Kits? and other
digital forensics tools. It is used by law enforcement, military, and corporate examiners to investigate
‘what happened on a computer. You can even use itt recover photos from your camera's memory card
Autopsy was designed to be intuitive out of the box, Installation is easy and wizards guide you
through every step. All results are found ina single tree, See the intuitive page for more details,
“Autopsy was designed to be an end-to-end platform with modules that come with it out ofthe box
and others that are availabe from third-parties. Some of the modules provide:
‘+ Timeline Analysis - Advanced graphical event viewing interface (video tutorial included.
‘+ Hash Filtering - Flag known bad files and ignore known good,‘+ Keyword Search - Indexed keyword search to find files that mention relevant terms.
‘© Web Anifucts - Extract history, bookmarks, and cookies ftom Firefox, Chrome, and IE,
+ Data Carving - Recor
leted files from unallocated space using PhotoRec
+ Multimedia - Extract EXIF from pictures and watch videos
‘of Compromise - Scan a computer using STIX.

Forensic Duplication
+ Forensic duplication is the copying of the contents of a storage device completely and without
alteration, The technique is sometimes known as bitwise duplication, sector copying, or physical
imaging, Forensic duplication is the primary method for collecting hard disk, floppy, CD/DVD,
and flash-based data for the purpose of evidence gathering.
+ Copying files from a suspects device using standard techniques (Windows Explorer, cutting and
pasting, xcopy) or imaging of logical drives (using Ghost or Drive Image) provides some of the
data for an investigation but is usually insufficient for forensic imaging and may violate best
evidence rules.
© Note
© When applic
to a drive as a whole, this imaging is generally not sufficient. Copies of individual
files can be made and used as evidence (such as those gathered in a live acquisition or from a
shared drive), but it needs to be documented why bitwise imaging was not performed and the
«examiner needs to understand the limitations.
pp
+ The dd too! is used to copy bits from one file to another. Copying bits in this manner is the basis
for all forensic duplication tools. dd is versatile and the source code is available to the publi
Furthermore, éd can be compiled on nearly every Unix platform, This section discusses the
‘methods that dd can implement to perform a forensic duplication,
‘© dd was writen originally for data conversion by Paul Rubin, David MacKenzie, and Stuart Kem,
‘The source code and man page don't actually say what dd stands for, bu itis generally thought of
as "data dump." dd is included in the GNU fileutils package and can be downloaded from
Intp//mirrors kernel org/gno‘ileutils
DCFLDD
+ diin general is data management tool and was not particularly built for forensies purposes.
‘Therefore it as its shortcomings.
+ Nicholas Harbour of the Defense Computer Forensies Laboratory (DCFL) developed @ tool
that works very similar than dd but adds many features to support forensics data acquisition
defldd offers the following options+ Log errors to an output file for analysis and review o Various
hashing options MDS, SHA-1, SHA-256, ete o Indicating the
acquisition progress
+ Split image file into segmented volumes

Description
+ Metasploit Pro is an exploitation and vulnerability validation tool that helps you divide the
penettation testing workflow into manageable section
+ The Metasploit Framework is a program and sub-project developed by Metasploit LLC. It was
initially created in 2003 in the Perl programming language, but was later completely re-written in
the Ruby Programming Language.
+ With the most recent release (3.7.1) Metasploit has taken exploit testing and simulation to a
complete new level which has muscled out its high priced commercial counterparts by increasing.
the speed and lethality of code of exploit in shortest possible time.
‘Working with Metagpoit
+ Metasploit is simple to use and is designed with ease-of-use in mind to aid Penetration Testers,
+ Metasploit Framework follows these common steps while exploiting a any target system
+ Select and configure the exploit to be targeted. This is the code that will be targeted toward a
system with the intention of taking advantage of a defect in the software Validate whether the
chosen system is susceptible to the chosen exploit. leet and configure a payload that will be used.
‘This payload represents the code that will be run on a system after a loop-hole has been found in
the system and an enty point is set

+ Iwill be taking you through this demo in BackTrack 5 [Reference 2], so go ahead and download
that if you don't already have it. The reason for using BackTrack 5 is that it comes with perfect
setup for Metasploit and everything that Pen Testing person ever need,
Metasploit framework has three work environments, the msfeonsole, the msfeli interface and the
asfweb interface. However, the primazy and the most preferred work area is the ‘msfeonsole’. I is
