A good introductory course the only trouble was for the 1st winhex I had trouble getting the exe. to open and some of the permissions didn't work.
By Abner Juarez on 6/2/2026
Yes, we work with certificates, hash files, and different levels of encryption, so this is valuable information.
By Gerardo Ochoa on 5/29/2026
I think that this is very good information and easy to understand.
By Brian Lukonsolo on 3/28/2026
Excellent course, very well explained and easy to understand - however a new link to the software used needs to be added (I want not able to download FTK Imager lite because the company seems to have removed the non-registration download, however I found alternatives online that I can use for study)
By Izaias Junior on 2/19/2026
I haven't idea about so complexity(and detailed) on the process, sounds many interesant and clarified.
By Desiree De Los Santos on 1/14/2026
User does not talk with confidence. More details needed (ie what the fourth amendment is.) Incorrect use of terminology, this may be due to the original creation of the course.
By Robert Newton on 1/8/2026
It was a great introduction to the field of computer forensics. Only point i noticed was that it is a bit dated. E.g. The FTK Imager is at v.4.7 currently and no Lite version is available anymore.
By Barry Mills on 1/4/2026
More information is needed on where to find the hex value for different files on Winhex.
