Overview of this book

Kali Linux is a Linux-based distribution that's widely used for penetration testing and digital forensics. It has a wide range of tools to help for digital forensics investigations and incident response mechanisms. This updated second edition of Digital Forensics with Kali Linux covers the latest version of Kali Linux and The Sleuth Kit. You'll get to grips with modern techniques for analysis, extraction, and reporting using advanced tools such as FTK Imager, hex editor, and Axiom. Updated to cover digital forensics basics and advancements in the world of modern forensics, this book will also delve into the domain of operating systems. Progressing 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. The book will also show you how to create forensic images of data and maintain integrity using hashing tools. Finally, you'll cover advanced topics such as autopsies and acquiring investigation data from networks, operating system memory, and quantum cryptography. By the end of this book, you'll have gained hands-on experience of implementing all the pillars of digital forensics: acquisition, extraction, analysis, and presentation, all using Kali Linux tools.

NetworkMiner

Analyzing captured data from Wireshark can be a bit of a challenge to people who may be new to the protocol analyzer, as it requires knowledge of protocols and filters and the ability to follow data streams (all of which becomes easier with practice).

NetworkMiner is an easy-to-use packet capture viewer, which some users may find easier to use than Wireshark for packet capture analysis as it extracts and sorts the found data into categories of hosts (with operating system fingerprinting), files, images, messages, sessions, and more by parsing the .pcap file.

NetworkMiner comes in a free version as well as a paid Professional version and can be installed on Windows and Linux. You can visit the official website for NetworkMiner at https://www.netresec.com/?page=NetworkMiner.

Installing NetworkMiner in Kali Linux is straightforward. Open a new Terminal and type the following command to download the .zip file:

wget www.netresec.com/?download=NetworkMiner -O /tmp...
