WEBVTT 0:00:03.020000 --> 0:00:07.080000 In this video, you will learn how to add evidence to FTK Eminger. 0:00:07.080000 --> 0:00:09.860000 We will also explore the tool a bit so you can see how the evidence is 0:00:09.860000 --> 0:00:13.800000 presented as well as give you an idea of what you may want to collect. 0:00:13.800000 --> 0:00:16.920000 We can use FTK Eminger to add items to it. 0:00:16.920000 --> 0:00:20.320000 We can also preserve any action, as messing with evidence, whether it 0:00:20.320000 --> 0:00:24.920000 was done on purpose or by mistake, could tamper with our evidence. 0:00:24.920000 --> 0:00:27.620000 Let's say you just want to take a preview of the available evidence without 0:00:27.620000 --> 0:00:29.860000 modifying or corrupting it. 0:00:29.860000 --> 0:00:31.860000 Think of it like window shopping. 0:00:31.860000 --> 0:00:35.480000 You can walk up to the glass and look at an item without touching it. 0:00:35.480000 --> 0:00:37.120000 This is the same with the evidence. 0:00:37.120000 --> 0:00:38.960000 We can see it without touching it. 0:00:38.960000 --> 0:00:43.440000 Let's get an idea of what we have, and navigate to manage, and then go 0:00:43.440000 --> 0:00:45.400000 to disk management. 0:00:45.400000 --> 0:00:51.700000 Here we see disk 0, which has two partitions. 0:00:51.700000 --> 0:00:57.300000 We also see a disk 1, which has three partitions and some empty space. 0:00:57.300000 --> 0:01:00.740000 Let's see how we can browse this evidence using FTK Eminger. 0:01:00.740000 --> 0:01:03.440000 Let's go to file. 0:01:03.440000 --> 0:01:05.620000 The first option is to add evidence. 0:01:05.620000 --> 0:01:07.640000 Let's go ahead and select that. 0:01:07.640000 --> 0:01:13.520000 We have four different options, physical drive, logical drive, image, 0:01:13.520000 --> 0:01:17.120000 and directory. Let me briefly explain each. 0:01:17.120000 --> 0:01:20.280000 If you select physical drive, you will be selecting based on the physical 0:01:20.280000 --> 0:01:23.240000 layer, which means that you will be dealing with disks. 0:01:23.240000 --> 0:01:26.480000 If you select logical drive, then you will be dealing with partitions 0:01:26.480000 --> 0:01:28.420000 at the logical layer. 0:01:28.420000 --> 0:01:34.380000 If you choose image, this is where you will have a forensic image and 0:01:34.380000 --> 0:01:37.360000 you want to attach it, so you can look at it. 0:01:37.360000 --> 0:01:40.720000 Lastly, you may have a directory and simply want to see what files are 0:01:40.720000 --> 0:01:43.540000 in it. Perhaps there's a case that has photos. 0:01:43.540000 --> 0:01:45.660000 It could be pornography or child abuse. 0:01:45.660000 --> 0:01:49.700000 You can use the content as a folder to navigate through the data. 0:01:49.700000 --> 0:01:53.460000 Let's have the physical drive and click next. 0:01:53.460000 --> 0:01:56.800000 We now see two drives. 0:01:56.800000 --> 0:02:02.260000 Drive zero is this one and drive one is this one here. 0:02:02.260000 --> 0:02:06.240000 Let's go ahead and select drive one and click finish. 0:02:06.240000 --> 0:02:08.260000 Let's maximize this. 0:02:08.260000 --> 0:02:11.940000 As you can see, we have attached all three partitions. 0:02:11.940000 --> 0:02:19.420000 We have one NTFS, one FAT32, and another NTFS. 0:02:19.420000 --> 0:02:23.360000 And here they are in disk management. 0:02:23.360000 --> 0:02:27.260000 And here we see another unallocated space, which is this one. 0:02:27.260000 --> 0:02:32.840000 So, as you can see here, we have attached the physical drive and all partitions 0:02:32.840000 --> 0:02:38.700000 are beneath it. We can expand this and click on root to see this drive. 0:02:38.700000 --> 0:02:41.660000 Let's do the same for another two partitions so we can see what's in their 0:02:41.660000 --> 0:02:48.400000 drives. We are also unable to modify which is good. 0:02:48.400000 --> 0:02:51.820000 This allows us to look at the evidence without tampering with it. 0:02:51.820000 --> 0:02:55.740000 Let's go ahead and add another, a logical drive. 0:02:55.740000 --> 0:02:59.580000 And this time we are dealing with the logical layer, which means we are 0:02:59.580000 --> 0:03:01.340000 dealing with partitions. 0:03:01.340000 --> 0:03:05.700000 Let's select C, which is the main file system that is running the operating 0:03:05.700000 --> 0:03:11.280000 system itself. So, here we can see that the partition is attached as a 0:03:11.280000 --> 0:03:15.460000 logical layer. We can also see all of its files too. 0:03:15.460000 --> 0:03:21.100000 Let's go back to attach and choose image, which allows us to select an 0:03:21.100000 --> 0:03:24.440000 image by browsing and then clicking open. 0:03:24.440000 --> 0:03:33.320000 When the image is attached, we are able to navigate the image itself. 0:03:33.320000 --> 0:03:37.200000 As you can see here, when you go to the partition, it gives you the details 0:03:37.200000 --> 0:03:38.620000 of the partition. 0:03:38.620000 --> 0:03:43.940000 We will be going through all these files, FAT1, FAT2, etc., when we reach 0:03:43.940000 --> 0:03:46.100000 the file system module. 0:03:46.100000 --> 0:03:49.660000 The final option is contents of a folder. 0:03:49.660000 --> 0:03:57.160000 This option will give us an idea of what's in this drive or say this drive. 0:03:57.160000 --> 0:04:02.520000 Let's go ahead and select it and click finish. 0:04:02.520000 --> 0:04:04.780000 Here we have content of the directory. 0:04:04.780000 --> 0:04:07.800000 The benefit of this option is that it allows us to navigate through the 0:04:07.800000 --> 0:04:10.720000 data without modifying or tampering with the content. 0:04:10.720000 --> 0:04:14.880000 We have a few more ways we can remove content. 0:04:14.880000 --> 0:04:18.280000 We can select content and click on the remove a single evidence button, 0:04:18.280000 --> 0:04:22.740000 or we can remove all evidence by clicking on the remove all evidence button. 0:04:22.740000 --> 0:04:26.160000 We also have the same options by going to file and selecting to remove 0:04:26.160000 --> 0:04:28.800000 either a single piece of evidence or all of them. 0:04:28.800000 --> 0:04:32.520000 Let's go ahead and select the remove all evidence option. 0:04:32.520000 --> 0:04:34.440000 Let me show you another great feature. 0:04:34.440000 --> 0:04:36.900000 You can press this button here to attach all. 0:04:36.900000 --> 0:04:42.000000 Or you can go to the file and select add all attached devices. 0:04:42.000000 --> 0:04:45.240000 This option scans the system and checks for all drives and partitions 0:04:45.240000 --> 0:04:47.160000 that are found on the system. 0:04:47.160000 --> 0:04:49.080000 It will then attach them to the FTK image. 0:04:49.080000 --> 0:04:53.300000 Let's browse the content in this drive by selecting root. 0:04:53.300000 --> 0:05:02.020000 Let's then select wallpaper here. 0:05:02.020000 --> 0:05:04.960000 We are presented with several different files. 0:05:04.960000 --> 0:05:09.560000 Now, if we go here, which is also under the first drive, let's expand 0:05:09.560000 --> 0:05:12.000000 root and also go to wallpaper. 0:05:12.000000 --> 0:05:14.980000 We are now presented with the exact same files. 0:05:14.980000 --> 0:05:18.700000 Why? Because it's attached here as a physical layer and attached here 0:05:18.700000 --> 0:05:20.660000 as a logical layer. 0:05:20.660000 --> 0:05:24.340000 Same thing goes for all these partitions that FTK managed to add. 0:05:24.340000 --> 0:05:28.540000 As mentioned earlier, we can remove all evidence by clicking on the remove 0:05:28.540000 --> 0:05:29.780000 all evidence button. 0:05:29.780000 --> 0:05:32.320000 Let's go ahead and do that now. 0:05:32.320000 --> 0:05:34.080000 And this button here. 0:05:34.080000 --> 0:05:37.840000 The add all attached evidence is very useful as it attaches everything 0:05:37.840000 --> 0:05:40.600000 and then you can selectively start removing whatever evidence you are 0:05:40.600000 --> 0:05:42.200000 not interested in. 0:05:42.200000 --> 0:05:44.340000 One final note is a recap. 0:05:44.340000 --> 0:05:47.420000 When attaching all these drives, we may want to simply preview the evidence 0:05:47.420000 --> 0:05:49.720000 to get an idea of what's here. 0:05:49.720000 --> 0:05:53.400000 Once you decide what to do, you can then export the disk image, mount 0:05:53.400000 --> 0:05:56.220000 the image, or export directory listing. 0:05:56.220000 --> 0:06:01.540000 Let's go ahead and select export directory listing and call it list files. 0:06:01.540000 --> 0:06:08.260000 Now, if we open or edit it, it went ahead and extracted all the files 0:06:08.260000 --> 0:06:10.240000 that I found in this drive. 0:06:10.240000 --> 0:06:15.720000 So as you can see here, using FTK Imager and adding evidence, especially 0:06:15.720000 --> 0:06:20.580000 before really taking the evidence, the forensic image is really useful. 0:06:20.580000 --> 0:06:21.980000 It's a good practice. 0:06:21.980000 --> 0:06:24.720000 I highly recommend you do it. 0:06:24.720000 --> 0:06:29.700000 This concludes this video lesson on adding evidence to the FTK Imager. 0:06:29.700000 --> 0:06:30.540000 Thank you for joining us.
