Digital Forensics with Kali Linux

Overview of this book

Kali Linux is a Linux-based distribution used mainly for penetration testing and digital forensics. It has a wide range of tools to help in forensics investigations and incident response mechanisms. You will start by understanding the fundamentals of digital forensics and setting up your Kali Linux environment to perform different investigation practices. The book will delve into the realm of operating systems and the various formats for file storage, including secret hiding places unseen by the end user or even the operating system. The book will also teach you to create forensic images of data and maintain integrity using hashing tools. Next, you will also master some advanced topics such as autopsies and acquiring investigation data from the network, operating system memory, and so on. The book introduces you to powerful tools that will take your forensic abilities and investigations to a professional level, catering for all aspects of full digital forensic investigations from hashing to reporting. By the end of this book, you will have had hands-on experience in implementing all the pillars of digital forensics—acquisition, extraction, analysis, and presentation using Kali Linux tools.

Revealing Evidence Using DFF

Summary


I hope you enjoyed the exercises in this chapter as much as I did. Although some of us may have had difficulties in running Xplico due to updates and repository issues, I encourage you try Xplico on DEFT Linux 8.2 as Xplico can be a very useful GUI tool in decoding internet and network traffic. As we have seen and done in this chapter, Xplico can be used for HTTP, VoIP, and email analysis, but can also perform MMS, DNS, Facebook, and WhatsApp chat analysis. I encourage you try to download and analyze more sample files from the Xplico and Wireshark sample capture pages to become more familiar with analysis and examination using Xplico.

Let's move on to another all-in-one investigative tool now, the digital forensics framework, also known as DFF. See you in Chapter 10, Revealing Evidence Using DFF.
