Encrypted file system forensics - Introduction (EXT4) [FREE COURSE CONTENT]

Linux operating System is a ubiquitous one today. From servers, to desktops, to laptops, to tablets, to smartphones – Linux is everywhere. Underlying all that intelligent engineering is a file system that facilitates the handling of files on those devices. It is the container in any data storage device that handles file arrangement meaningfully. It is analogous to a well stacked, alphabetically sorted bookshelf. File System Forensics is the study about the existential behaviour of files on a storage device – which may undergo addition, modification or removal. One can think of it as a psychological study of the data storage container. This course primarily deals with forensics on ext4, that is commonly used in Linux machines all over the globe. Ext4 is also found in a lot of IoT devices and in smart home devices. In the untoward occurrence of a forensic incident involving any such devices, the skills you get from this course would help you process them looking for evidence. File System Forensics is a sought-after skill in many investigative agencies. Here is your chance to become a “Forensics Yoda”!
