Python for Network Forensics 3.3: Deeper File Properties

The video tutorial covers the process of hashing files using Python, focusing on deeper file properties. It introduces necessary modules like argparse, os, hashlib, and termcolor. The tutorial explains digest computation by breaking files into chunks to manage memory efficiently. A Python application is built to hash files and compare them to known hashes, ensuring file integrity. The application is enhanced for flexibility, allowing users to provide their own hashes or read from files. Practical examples demonstrate hash calculation and comparison, concluding with a preview of parsing system logs in Linux.
