Overview of this book

Kali Linux is a Linux-based distribution used mainly for penetration testing and digital forensics. It has a wide range of tools to help in forensics investigations and incident response mechanisms. You will start by understanding the fundamentals of digital forensics and setting up your Kali Linux environment to perform different investigation practices. The book will delve into the realm of operating systems and the various formats for file storage, including secret hiding places unseen by the end user or even the operating system. The book will also teach you to create forensic images of data and maintain integrity using hashing tools. Next, you will also master some advanced topics such as autopsies and acquiring investigation data from the network, operating system memory, and so on. The book introduces you to powerful tools that will take your forensic abilities and investigations to a professional level, catering for all aspects of full digital forensic investigations from hashing to reporting. By the end of this book, you will have had hands-on experience in implementing all the pillars of digital forensics—acquisition, extraction, analysis, and presentation using Kali Linux tools.

Filesystems and operating systems


Now that we've covered the physical, let's get logical! Any and every type of storage media needs to be formatted with a particular filesystem. The filesystem chosen will also determine which operating system can be installed on the medium, along with file and partition sizes.

A simple way to think of this is to imagine a blank sheet of paper as any type of new or wiped storage media. We can put several types of information on this piece of paper, but we'll probably first want to organize or prepare the sheet of paper in a way that makes our data easy to understand, access, and even store. We can choose to write on it, from left to right in sentences and paragraphs in English, or we can perhaps create tables, using rows and columns. We can even use printed slides to display our data, or even use images, graphs, and flowcharts. Additionally, we can format your storage media in a way that best suits the data that will be stored and used.

Filesystems ensure that...
