Welcome to InfoSec Computer Forensics Bootcamp. My name is Denise Duffy, you can see I have my cellphone number up there. I'm going to be your instructor for this learning path. I have a background in law enforcement, I was part of an ICAC unit, Internet Crimes Against Children. I did digital and mobile forensics, I handled cases such as child exploitation, narcotics, suicide, sexual assault, homicide, home invasion, theft, missing persons. I've handled a variety of different cases. I also have handled some fraud cases. After I retired, I work in the private sector for CyforTec Group and we handle a lot of IP theft cases for major companies, we handle intrusion cases and a variety of civil cases. I work both in the public and private sectors. Our learning objectives for this path is we're going to come to understand what it means to have a mindset of a computer forensic examiner. We're going to understand the methods we use when we're doing the examination, why they are so important and how they are useful to us. We're going to develop skills that most examiners have. We're going to expose you to a wide variety of forensic tools and techniques, we're going to show you some advanced concepts, you're going to get some exposure. We're going to prepare you for further study in the forensics field, because this will not be your last course. We're also going to prepare you for the CCFE exam. A little bit about this course, it is not an expert level computer forensics course, this is the beginning, we're going to touch on everything, but we're really not going to get to dive into too much. This is a foundations course, we need to start, we need to walk before we can run. We're going to touch on everything a computer forensic examiner needs to know. This is a great overview of everything we're going to see, but additional study beyond this course is going to be required. The best way to learn computer forensics is by doing, hands-on, and active participation. A little bit more about our certification exam, the certifying body, the people that issued the certificate is the IACRB in the Certified Computer Forensic Examiner, the CCFE test. It's going to test your fundamental knowledge of computer forensics, evidence recovery in the analysis process. You're going to be evaluated on your knowledge of both the hard and soft skills, you're going to be tested on the soft skills, you've got to prove that you have the requisite background knowledge of the complex legal issues that are related to the computer forensics field. It's going to be multiple choice, 50 questions, you must get a passing score of 70, you have a time duration of two hours, so there is a time limit, but it's plenty of time don't worry about it and the test's format in multiple-choice. There's no essays or hands on practical in this test. Let's get started.
