Digital Forensics Quiz

What is File System Analysis in digital forensics?

• Examining the structure and contents of file systems on storage devices to gather evidence for investigations.

• Analyzing network traffic for evidence

• Recovering lost passwords from social media accounts

• Decrypting encrypted files without authorization

Explain the importance of Network Forensics in cyber investigations.

• Network forensics is irrelevant in cyber investigations

• Network forensics is important in cyber investigations to analyze network traffic and logs for evidence of malicious activities, security breaches, or unauthorized access.

• Network forensics only focuses on legal aspects in cyber investigations

• Network forensics can be replaced by traditional investigation methods in cyber investigations

What is Memory Forensics and how is it used in forensic investigations?

• Memory Forensics is used to analyze non-volatile memory for extracting information

• Memory Forensics is only used for analyzing network traffic

• Memory Forensics is used in forensic investigations to analyze volatile memory (RAM) for extracting valuable information related to security incidents and uncovering hidden artifacts that traditional disk-based forensics may miss.

• Memory Forensics is not relevant in forensic investigations

Describe the steps involved in Incident Response in digital forensics.

• Prevention, Analysis, Resolution, Backup, Assessment, Reporting

• Detection, Isolation, Elimination, Restoration, Evaluation, Documentation

• Assessment, Isolation, Resolution, Backup, Evaluation, Documentation

• Preparation, Identification, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, Lessons Learned

Name three commonly used forensic tools in the field of digital forensics.

• EnCase Forensic, FTK (Forensic Toolkit), Sleuth Kit

• Autopsy

• X-Ways Forensics

• Cellebrite

How does File System Analysis help in recovering deleted files?

• File System Analysis recovers files by guessing the content of the deleted files

• File System Analysis recovers files by creating duplicates of the deleted files

• File System Analysis helps in recovering deleted files by examining the file system metadata and structures to identify remnants of the deleted files.

• File System Analysis relies on magic to recover deleted files

What are the key differences between live network forensics and post-mortem network forensics?

• The key differences between live network forensics and post-mortem network forensics are the real-time analysis of network traffic vs. analyzing stored data after an incident, and the need for specialized tools for live forensics vs. relying on preserved data for post-mortem forensics.

• Post-mortem network forensics requires real-time analysis

• Live network forensics is done after an incident

• Live forensics relies on preserved data

Why is Memory Forensics crucial in investigating advanced cyber attacks?

• Memory Forensics can be easily replaced by traditional forensic techniques in cyber attack investigations

• Memory Forensics helps in extracting volatile data from a system's memory, providing crucial insights into advanced cyber attacks.

• Memory Forensics only provides non-essential information in cyber attack investigations

• Memory Forensics is not useful in investigating cyber attacks

What role does Incident Response play in minimizing the impact of a security breach?

• Incident Response prolongs the recovery process from security breaches

• Incident Response does not play a role in containing security breaches

• Incident Response helps in quickly identifying, containing, eradicating, and recovering from security breaches.

• Incident Response delays the identification of security breaches

How can forensic tools like EnCase and FTK aid in digital investigations?

• They provide capabilities such as network monitoring and intrusion detection.

• They offer real-time data analysis and monitoring.

• They are primarily used for data encryption and decryption.

• They provide capabilities such as data recovery, file analysis, metadata examination, forensic imaging, and report generation.
