memory forensik

Digital forensics traditionally tend to use data traces on non-volatile memory like hard disks and flash memory. This training course is focused on retrieving and evaluating volatile memory data on Windows- and Linux-based systems.

We are featuring a set of efficient open-source tools designed to create and analyse memory dumps. You learn to use these tools by means of realistic case studies.

Kurszeiten

Wer möchte, reist bis 22 Uhr am Vortag an und nutzt den Abend bereits zum Fachsimpeln am Kamin oder im Park.

An den Kurstagen dann von 9-18 Uhr (mit 2 Kaffee- und 1 Mittagspause) etwa 60% Schulungen und 40% Übungen. Selbstverständlich arbeitet jeder Teilnehmer am von uns gestellten Notebook oft parallel zum Referenten mit.

Anschließend Abendessen und Angebote für Fachsimpeln, Ausflüge uvm. Wir schaffen eine Atmosphäre, in der Fachleute sich ungezwungen austauschen. Wer das nicht will, wird zu nichts gezwungen und findet auch jederzeit Ruhe.
