FACT digital forensics drill on computer hardware and file systems for first responders, covering the motherboard, CPU and chipset, the memory hierarchy (RAM, ROM, cache), magnetic hard disk drives, solid state drives and NAND flash, USB flash drives and optical media, sector and cluster relationships and LBA addressing, MBR and GPT partitioning, the FAT chain, the NTFS Master File Table, the ext inode, MAC timestamps and the NTFS $STANDARD_INFORMATION versus $FILE_NAME contrast, networking components such as the NIC, switch, and router, kernel and user space, the boot process from POST to kernel under BIOS and UEFI, common file systems by operating system (NTFS, APFS, ext4, exFAT), and the purpose of file system journaling. Easy-band questions calibrated for first-pass FACT preparation and quick concept refresh before the entrance.
Pitched at FACT aspirants, NFSU MSc digital forensics entrants, and police personnel preparing to handle seized computers under the IT Act 2000 and BSA 2023. Questions stay at the definition and identification level, treating the responder who arrives at a scene, looks at a desktop or laptop, and has to write a sensible seizure memo and chain-of-custody form.
Topics covered:
Useful for revision and self-testing before the FACT digital forensics paper.
