About this course

Description

Apple® Forensic Investigations is the perfect way to quickly and effectively learn how to navigate the most important Mac, iPhone, and iPad device areas. For years, BlackBag has remained a highly reliable, go-to resource when detectives and investigators need advice regarding what to do with seized digital devices, in terms of both acquiring and analyzing evidence. The BlackBag team consistently remains abreast of the latest developments and techniques in digital forensics, and their research and experience with real-world cases act as the framework for the training courses. As a result, the example scenarios discussed in the classroom are driven by relevant data and realistic challenges. In short, BlackBag’s instructors will use their wealth of knowledge and firsthand experience with forensic examinations to help students learn all the tips and tricks needed to successfully complete their work.

 Through hands-on learning and case-based scenarios, students will learn from experts how to perform both triage and analysis of specific data artifacts that exist within Apple’s devices, including operating system and file system artifacts. This course will guide students through the most important macOS and iOS device areas. The macOS and iOS operating systems, HFS+ and APFS file systems and significant application data are explored.




Learning objectives

Upon concluding this course, students will have reviewed up to three different case scenarios covering various file system, operating system and application artifacts relevant to real-life cases. Analysis methodologies are covered via hands-on work with actual data and instructor-led exercises. Knowledge is validated with an individual written and practical assessment. Through an interactive, hands-on approach, students will gain a strong familiarity of macOS and iOS artifacts and the confidence with which to conduct thorough examinations.

Note: While all are welcome, strong computer skills and an understanding of basic forensic concepts (imaging, live data acquisition, and evidence handling) are highly recommended for the optimal experience in this course.
