    Device Data Analysis

    The course targets the research and analysis of the data present on devices in file systems, browsers, log files and other data sources.

    Python Fundamentals and Libraries

    In the first place the fundamentals of the Python programming language are discussed in which data types, control flow, classes, modules, packages and comprehensions are discussed. Various Python Libraries that are important in criminal investigations are also discussed, such as the Regular Expression pattern matching library, the log library and the Date and Time library.

    File and Database Analysis

    Subsequently extensive attention is paid to the approach to the file system and the analysis of files. Special topics are the creation of Artifact Reports and the hashing of Data Streams.
    The analysis of databases such as SQLite, identifying gaps in them and data recovery are also part of the course program. Furthermore it is discussed how location data can be retrieved from Wi-Fi messages and the analysis of web server logs is treated.

    Audio and Video Analysis

    The analysis of audio and video data and the mining of PDF and Office Metadata are also part of the course schedule. The registry can also provide important information and its analysis is discussed.

    Mail Box Analysis

    Finally attention is paid to the analysis of PST and OST mail boxes, the reading and analysis of EML files and the detection and use of Key Loggers.
