# Basic Forensic Methodology
|
|
|
|
In this section of the book we are going to learn about some **useful forensics tricks**.
|
|
We are going to talk about partitions, file-systems, carving, memory, logs, backups, OSs, and much more.
|
|
|
|
So if you are doing a professional forensic analysis to some data or just playing a CTF you can find here useful interesting tricks.
|
|
|
|
## Creating and Mounting an Image
|
|
|
|
{% page-ref page="image-adquisition-and-mount.md" %}
|
|
|
|
## Malware Analysis
|
|
|
|
This **isn't necessary the first step to perform once you have the image**. But you can use this malware analysis techniques independently if you have a file, a file-system image, memory image, pcap... so it's good to **keep these actions in mind**:
|
|
|
|
{% page-ref page="malware-analysis.md" %}
|
|
|
|
## Inspecting an Image
|
|
|
|
if you are given a **forensic image** of a device you can start **analyzing the partitions, file-system** used and **recovering** potentially **interesting files** \(even deleted ones\). Learn how in:
|
|
|
|
{% page-ref page="partitions-file-systems-carving/" %}
|
|
|
|
Depending on the used OSs and even platform different interesting artifacts should be searched:
|
|
|
|
{% page-ref page="windows-forensics/" %}
|
|
|
|
{% page-ref page="linux-forensics.md" %}
|
|
|
|
{% page-ref page="docker-forensics.md" %}
|
|
|
|
## Deep inspection of specific file-types and Software
|
|
|
|
If you have very **suspicious** **file**, then **depending on the file-type and software** that created it several **tricks** may be useful.
|
|
Read the following page to learn some interesting tricks:

I want to do a special mention to the page:

|
## Memory Dump Inspection
|
|
|
|
{% page-ref page="memory-dump-analysis/" %}
|
|
|
|
## Pcap Inspection
|
|
|
|
{% page-ref page="pcap-inspection/" %}

|
## **Anti-Forensic Techniques**
