Topic Abstract:
Why test? When examiners have questions, the answers are often found through testing. Where do you start? How do you test? What about documentation? How do you share your findings with the community? Jessica will share the lessons she’s learned and the best practices and methodology she’s developed to properly, efficiently, and effectively research and test artifacts.
Key takeaways:
- Understanding when you should perform testing as part of digital forensic analysis.
- Knowing a concrete methodology for testing digital forensic artifacts, namely, Discover, Test, Find, Parse, Script, and Share.
- How to locate data of interest from a particular application or process.
