This course was designed to provide information on how to use the tools on the CAINE forensics distro to accomplish tasks in the basic steps in digital forensics: Preservation of evidence (write blocking), extraction of data (imaging), Analysis, and Reporting.  This course covers the tools that allow users to acquire data (logical and physical), forensically analyze data, hashing datasets, perform malware analysis, memory forensics, mobile forensics, network forensics, open source intelligence (OSINT), and timeline analysis. 

This video will look at the QPhotoRec data recovery tool included in the CAINE 12 distro. We will cover using QPhotoRec, created by Christophe Grenier, to recover data from images of deleted and re-formatted file systems.
