The IACIS Advanced Mobile Device Forensics Training Program is a 36-hour course of instruction, offered over five consecutive days. Take your mobile forensics investigative skills to the next level with our comprehensive course on Advanced Mobile Device Forensics. This class is designed for seasoned forensic examiners and investigators and will equip you with an intricate understanding of Android and iOS file systems.

The IACIS Applied Scripting Forensic course is a 36-hour intermediate-level course that equips you with practical skills and knowledge to exploit data using various scripting languages. Through instructor-led and hands-on exercises, students will learn to extract data from diverse sources using scripting languages like RegEx, SQLite, Batch, BASH, Python, and PowerShell. Using Linux, we will explore alternate command-line extraction techniques to further exploit unstructured file data. Students will learn to create scripts to extract meaningful and relevant information to support case examinations where automated processes fail to decipher the data. They will use real-world data examples to practice their new skills and ultimately deepen their scripting knowledge beyond standard forensic tools.

This course is designed to help forensic examiners who lack an understanding of Linux artifacts as well as how to leverage Linux tools for conducting forensic exams. To meet this goal, the students will learn Linux operating system fundamentals and gain proficiency with command line and bash shell scripting to accomplish forensic tasks. This knowledge will be leveraged to learn strategies for analyzing Linux systems. This course assumes the student has some experience doing Windows investigations but little or no experience using and/or analyzing Linux. The only prerequisite for the class is a willingness to type commands rather than click their mouse.

The IACIS Mobile Device Forensics Training Program is a 36-hour course of instruction, offered over five (5) consecutive days. This program will expand the students existing mobile forensic knowledge and skillset. It is designed to provide students with intermediate to advanced skills needed to detect, decode, decrypt, and analyze evidence recovered from mobile devices during mobile device investigations.

The course is designed for supervisors or managers who are responsible for supervising a digital forensics unit or laboratory. Topics include understanding digital forensics, managing a multi-generational environment, training and certification of examiners, case and evidence management, and developing quality practices.

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is a 36-hour course of instruction offered over five (5) consecutive days. This program involves the methodical collection and analysis of data gathered from publicly available sources. This encompasses Open-Source Information, Publicly Available Information (PAI), and Commercially Available Information (CAI), which include legally accessible information about individuals or organizations. Utilized effectively by law enforcement agencies, cybersecurity experts, and forensic computer examiners, OSINT techniques enable the parsing of vast datasets to enhance investigative outcomes, solve more cases, and conduct thorough investigations.

The IACIS “Preparing for Lab Accreditation” (PLA) is a three-day course of instruction. This course is designed for examiners, supervisors, managers, and executives that have the responsibility to develop and implement policies and procedures within a digital forensic unit or laboratory in their efforts to obtain accreditation.

This course is designed for the law enforcement professional that needs to leverage volatile memory to find evidence that does not exist on disk. The class will progress just like an investigation.

The WFE Training Program champions a forensic tool-independent approach to learning. This approach allows for a deeper exploration of the underlying subject matter than might be afforded in other programs which are designed to complete a particular task or view/extract a particular artifact. The WFE Training Program is designed to build on and expand the students existing forensic knowledge and skillset and is not an entry level class. Prospective students should reference the “Prerequisites” section elsewhere in this document for additional information about expectations for students.
