Seriously the best introductory/basic-workflow Autopsy video I've watched. I absolutely love that you give additional detail about the modules, and that you explained your workflow.
I just got my sec+ cert CompTIA and decided forensics is what I love and need to do so I agree! When I watched this video it made me entrench myself in my decision to pursue forensics in the cyber security community. Thank you
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm a criminal law student so Digital Forensic Investigation is really interesting. I've always wondered how gathering digital evidence works. I learned a lot from your tutorial!
thank you master for the basic introduction of using autospy in digital forensic. i have watch the video is very interesting. my gratitude and wish you all the best
Want to thank you for the time you put into your content. You are pretty much the only forensics RUclips channel that consistently produces great content. Well done my friend, and thank you.
Thank you so much for this! Do you happen to have a video or guide on how to upload an iPhone or Apple device into FTK imager to create a readable format for autopsy?
Amazing video! Nevertheless, it would have been better to use the dd/ISO files that NIST put at disposal to see all the functionalities of the software
That's true. I used a smaller data set for fast processing, and realized my mistake when I wanted to show OS artifacts... I'll have to fix that! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this, you are very thorough and provide a high level overview in this video of the various ingest modules which is very helpful. I do have one question though and perhaps this comes later in the video or another video on your channel. When is the best time to configure the settings of Autopsy outside of a case? I would assume it would be prior to starting the first case on my machine. My question really applies to configuring things like the temporary directory of autopsy, changing the central repository, etc etc.
Great question. Some settings you will know what makes sense for your computer/lab setup. Some settings are more case-dependent, or you will learn to tweak to your specific needs over time. Open up a test case in Autopsy and configure the Autopsy global settings how you want. This is when I add NSRL hashes, configure remote repositories, etc. Then close/delete the test case and Autopsy will remember your global settings when you open your real case. Don't be afraid to go back and change settings to try to get better performance. Sometimes they also add new features that need configured.
Thank you for the best video. I have one doubt, though. During the case creation, we can add M5. However, we cannot add SHA512. there is only the option of adding SHA256.
sir, I just wanted to know how did you downloaded the data artifacts module. Because when I do, my all files are extracted except data artifacts module
@@DFIRScience yes absolutely, just another data in my toolset. Even though I don't use it now, I still find a way to enjoy learning and reenforcing the concepts. I am currently a Windows Forensics student at SANS. So much to learn for the GCFA. Thank you for sharing.
Great video! What other steps can be taken to be able to view content of a carved deleted file which was unallocated and not viewable using the application feature in Autopsy? Is it possible to rebuild those kinda files to view the contents? Thanks.
If some file data was successfully carved, but is not showing in the "Application" tab, then the data may not be complete or is otherwise corrupted. You can try exporting the file (right click on the file and click "Extract File(s)") and try to open it with a viewer on your computer. If that still doesn't work, then you can view the structure of the data in the hex viewer "Hex" tab. It really depends on what, where and how much data is missing or corrupt as to whether you can reconstruct the file. You might also try using PhotoRec directly to recover data of the file type you are interested in. You might get lucky. www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
This is great stuff thanks. One question. At time code 33:24 when talking about substrings I noted 2 files of the same name however one has -slack on the end. Does this mean the file appears twice once in slack space?
how do i create a disk image, i want to practise on my own machine and recover things ive deleted from it but cant find anything on how to create a disk image that i can use for autopsy
You can do previews, and the media utility hash some additional functionality. For in-depth processing like video spliced in video there is not a default detector (might be an external plugin). What were you thinking?
Hello sir, I have a question. 4 days ago i was creating a new case with disk image file from a 500gb HDD, and it still anlyzing till today... what if when the analyzing progress is finished, then i close the autopsy and turn off my laptop and then open it again... does it need to re run the analyzing progress again or not? Please help me cuz my laptop is running for 4 days till now. Thanks :) Sorry for bad english :D
You will need to mount the encrypted partition first. If you are using Windows the easiest way is probably to use Arsenal Recon's Arsenal Image Mounter -> arsenalrecon.com/products/arsenal-image-mounter

Thank you so much! One of the easiest things you can do is create a Twitter account and follow people that talk about digital forensics. A lot of DFIR-related people are there and always posting some amazing information. Going to college really depends on what kinds of investigations you want to do. Some people go to college and some people don't. Either can be successful, and both require a lot of work. This field does take a lot of study, so being able to do experiments is a good skill. Email me if you have any specific questions: bit.ly/DFIRSciContact
In the description of this video I give a link to the test disk image. Download Autopsy and the test data and try for yourself! Let me know if you have any questions or need any help!
Hi I am new to all of this. I downloaded the practice data and I think I don't have the right format as it does not look the same as what you are showing. I have a windows 11 machine. What should I open the file with? Thanks.
The practice data is in a "zip" file to make it a bit smaller. In windows you should be able to right click on the zip file and select "extract here" (or something similar). This will create a new file that is the original disk image. You should be able to load that into autopsy. Let me know if you have any trouble.
@@DFIRScience any of the emails. I don’t have the same options as you do in the video. I processed with the emails ingest but I don’t see a section for it in your video or in my Autopsy. The last one (4.18) had a section that said “Emails”
@@tammyrhodes3823 The image I used this time did not have a local email container PST/OST. That's why it didn't show up in my view. For example, if the user always uses email in their browser, they likely won't have a PST file locally. If they use an application like Microsoft Outlook, then they probably will. What application do you think the user was using on the system you are looking at?
depending on what editor you are using. if you are taking notes in a text document, from the shell you can do "date >> filename" to get a timestamp added to the end of the file. If you are using vi, you can do :r !date to add a date stamp into the file you are editing.

Awesome tutorial, thanks a lot
The link in your description for sample data doesn't contain the hash file that is in the video. it only has an image .dd file. How do I proceed ?
awesome tutorial for learning the Autopsy tool! Can you also share some good sources for getting forensic images for data recovery challenges?
This is good. Thanks for this.
I hope it was helpful!
Great tool for forensic .

Yes, Autopsy has a media viewer that can preview videos.
How do you view emails? I don’t see an option for it because I keep getting a “read error”

How to quickly paste timestamp for documentation in linux?
@Chinz In notepad, you can just hit the F5 key and it will add the timestamp for you.
@@DFIRScience I tried in Linux but it didn't worked 🙁
@@chinz3614 Yeah, notepad in Windows, unfortunately. For Linux check out github.com/MattETurner/DFIRlogbook
@@DFIRScience okay thanks, I will have a look
depending on what editor you are using. if you are taking notes in a text document, from the shell you can do "date >> filename" to get a timestamp added to the end of the file. If you are using vi, you can do :r !date to add a date stamp into the file you are editing.
can I do with android images?
Yes. Autopsy has modules to process Android data. You can add the data source as a file structure, not a disk image.
