Attendees will learn how to create a timeline of all user activity, retrieve passwords, recover deleted data, acquire and analyze RAM, Event Logs, Thumbcache, Volume Shadow Copies, Virtual Machines and more. Attendees will also learn how to easily and automatically, create a virtual machine of the suspect’s system, and how to effectively use this approach for both courtroom presentation, as well as hunting for additional forensic artifacts.
