First Mobile Forensics Fundamentals Courses Posted!

We are so excited that Hexordia’s first courses are now available on the Cyber 5W website. The. first 3 courses launched pertain to Mobile Forensic Fundamentals. All three of these courses are free and use a variety of reading, pictures, video, and hands on exercises to ensure you are learning key concepts. At the end of each class you will earn a Certificate of Completion. By design, each class is “byte size”, so you can do them on demand at your own convenience. Complete a single lesson at a time in a small size course or do them all at once. The choice is yours! The best part is these three courses are FREE!

The first course in our Mobile Forensics Fundamentals track is HEX-110 Mobile Forensic Fundamentals Part 1. This course teaches terminology of mobile forensics and basic components you will encounter. Completion of this course will enable the student to understand the identifiers associated with mobile phones, identify possible sources of data related to a mobile phone, and understand the types of artifacts and information that can be acquired. This course is Free!

The second course is our Mobile Forensics Fundamentals track is HEX-111 Mobile Forensics Fundamentals Part 2. This second course builds on the previous course and teaches the similarities and differences between traditional computer forensics and mobile forensics. Some students with a computer forensics background are unaware about the differences between the two including common terms with different definitions that can cause confusion. Completion of this course enables students to know the differences and similarities between computer and mobile forensics. Additionally students will be able to define physical, logical, and file system images as they pertain to mobile forensics.

The next course digs deeper into starting to learn technical skills that are critical for the analysis of mobile devices, specifically decoding timestamps. HEX-120 Mobile Timestamp Fundamentals starts with the fundamentals of bits and bytes before moving onto nibble swapping and endianness. With those basics out of the way, it is time to learn how to manually decode a variety of mobile forensics timestamps. Students will read, watch videos with exercises, and then decode timestamps on their own before progressing to the next time stamp format. This lesson will prepare students for the concepts they will need to apply to both decode and recognize timestamps on Android and iOS mobile devices.
