About This Course
Digital Forensic Techniques: Extraction and Analysis teaches the hands-on craft of recovering and examining digital evidence. You learn the forensic process — sound acquisition and imaging, extracting data from storage, memory and mobile devices, and analysing files, artefacts and timelines — all while preserving chain of custody and admissibility. The course centres on the techniques and rigour that make digital evidence stand up to scrutiny. You finish able to reason through a defensible digital-forensics examination. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
