ASF: Applied Scripting Forensic Techniques

The IACIS Applied Scripting Forensic course is a 36-hour intermediate level course will equip you with the practical skills and knowledge to exploit data using a variety of scripting languages.  Using instructor-led exercises and hands-on exercises students will learn the necessary skills to extract data from diverse sources using scripting languages such as RegEx, SQLite, BASH, Python and PowerShell. Using Linux, we will explore alternate extraction technique at the command line to further exploit unstructured file data.

Students will learn how to further create scripts to extract meaningful and relevant information to support case examination where the automated process is unable to decipher the data.  Students will use real-world examples of data to practice their new skills on and ultimately deepening their knowledge in scripting capabilities beyond the forensic tool.

No previous programming knowledge or skills are required and it is appropriate that participants have no such knowledge or experience. The only requisite for taking this class is very good experience in conducting digital forensic investigations and understanding the background of digital forensic analysis tools.
