Digital Forensics with Kali Linux - Third Edition

By: Shiva V. N. Parasram

Overview of this book

Kali Linux is a Linux-based distribution that's widely used for penetration testing and digital forensics. This third edition is updated with real-world examples and detailed labs to help you take your investigation skills to the next level using powerful tools. This new edition will help you explore modern techniques for analysis, extraction, and reporting using advanced tools such as FTK Imager, Hex Editor, and Axiom. You’ll cover the basics and advanced areas of digital forensics within the world of modern forensics while delving into the domain of operating systems. As you advance through the chapters, you'll explore various formats for file storage, including secret hiding places unseen by the end user or even the operating system. You’ll also discover how to install Windows Emulator, Autopsy 4 in Kali, and how to use Nmap and NetDiscover to find device types and hosts on a network, along with creating forensic images of data and maintaining integrity using hashing tools. Finally, you'll cover advanced topics such as autopsies and acquiring investigation data from networks, memory, and operating systems. By the end of this digital forensics book, you'll have gained hands-on experience in implementing all the pillars of digital forensics: acquisition, extraction, analysis, and presentation – all using Kali Linux's cutting-edge tools.

Installing Kali Linux on Raspberry Pi4

Raspberry Pi 4, also known as the Pi 4, is a low-powered, small, portable, and powerful device that can be used for personal, enterprise, and even Operational Technology (OT) purposes, as mentioned earlier in this chapter. Having Kali on a Pi 4 can be very useful, as it is very powerful and comes with USB 3.0 ports, an RJ-45 network port, dual mini-HDMI ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and up to 8 GB of RAM, and it can run Kali off a bootable microSD card in just a few steps. You can learn more about the Pi 4 at https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/.

Follow these steps to install Kali on a Pi 4 (or even the older Pi 2, 3, and 400):

  1. To install Kali on a Pi 4 (or even the older Pi 2, 3, and 400), we’ll need the Pi Imager software, which can be downloaded at https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ and is available for Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu (x86) devices. Pi Imager will allow us to install the Kali Linux ARM version...
