What this domain covers

What to know about Computer Forensics Investigation Process

You must be able to order evidence preservation steps correctly, validate a write blocker, and acquire a forensic image without altering the source. The single most important thing is to preserve volatile data first and maintain chain of custody throughout.

Order of volatility and correct evidence collection sequence for Windows and Linux systems

Use of hardware write blockers and validation before imaging USB or hard drives

Forensic imaging commands such as dd, dcfldd, FTK Imager, and EnCase

BitLocker recovery key usage and post-acquisition decryption of encrypted drives

Watch out for

Common Computer Forensics Investigation Process exam traps

▸Shutting down or rebooting a system before capturing volatile data, destroying RAM, network connections, and running processes.
▸Connecting a suspect drive without a verified write blocker, risking accidental modification of evidence.
▸Misinterpreting e2fsck errors on a Windows system when the tool is meant for Linux ext2/3/4 filesystems.
