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.

Starting Xplico in DEFT Linux

We already learned how to start Xplico in Kali Linux at the beginning of the chapter, so let’s now do the same for DEFT Linux:

  1. In your DEFT Linux VM, click on the DEFT menu button at the bottom-left corner of the DEFT desktop, which looks like the letter d next to a black eightball.

The DEFT menu will open.

  1. Click on the Service option and then click on the Apache start button. A Terminal will open and the service will be started.
  2. Next, go back to the Service option and click on the Xplico Start button. A Terminal will open and start the Xplico service.
  3. Finally, we can start Xplico by clicking on the DEFT menu button/icon, navigating upward to the DEFT menu, going across to the Network Forensics menu, and then selecting Xplico, as shown here.
