Overview of this book

Kali Linux is a Linux-based distribution that's widely used for penetration testing and digital forensics. This third edition is updated with real-world examples and detailed labs to help you take your investigation skills to the next level using powerful tools. This new edition will help you explore modern techniques for analysis, extraction, and reporting using advanced tools such as FTK Imager, Hex Editor, and Axiom. You’ll cover the basics and advanced areas of digital forensics within the world of modern forensics while delving into the domain of operating systems. As you advance through the chapters, you'll explore various formats for file storage, including secret hiding places unseen by the end user or even the operating system. You’ll also discover how to install Windows Emulator, Autopsy 4 in Kali, and how to use Nmap and NetDiscover to find device types and hosts on a network, along with creating forensic images of data and maintaining integrity using hashing tools. Finally, you'll cover advanced topics such as autopsies and acquiring investigation data from networks, memory, and operating systems. By the end of this digital forensics book, you'll have gained hands-on experience in implementing all the pillars of digital forensics: acquisition, extraction, analysis, and presentation – all using Kali Linux's cutting-edge tools.

Identifying devices and operating systems with p0f

Let’s get started with p0f. p0f is a small tool that can be used to passively scan and detect operating systems within a network. This scanning tool is considered passive because it does not send data to other hosts apart from Synchronize (SYN) packets. This is very useful when trying to quietly collect information about other hosts on a network in DFIR investigations.

Let’s look at how to install and use p0f to detect other host operating systems on the network:

  1. Depending on the version of Kali you are running (2019.3 – 2023.1), you can run the p0f –h command to determine whether it is preinstalled. If not, Kali will ask whether you would like to install it. Press y to accept and install it, as seen in the following screenshot.

  1. Run the p0f –h command again after installation. This displays the network interface...
