Digital Forensic Specialist Level 2 Practical Exam Preparation Course for Beginners (EnCase/Autopsy)

Hello~

I would like to provide information regarding the online special lecture I mentioned recently.

Online Special Lecture Date & Time: April 11, 2026, at 1:00 PM

Special Lecture URL: Replay unavailable.

The live video will be added to the course next week after some editing, and I will provide further guidance then~

Last week, we held our first offline special lecture, and based on what I felt during that process and

Through the survey conducted regarding the online special lecture, those who are preparing for the Digital Forensics Level 2 exam

As a result of reflecting on the parts that people find most difficult,

In this online special lecture, we plan to proceed with the following content.

1. Content regarding the exam process and the parts we tended to overlook or take lightly

2. Mock Exam

The reason I chose this topic is that among those who failed the exam, the cause was often one of the following.

• Cases where you have a certain level of experience with the exam and have studied artifacts quite extensively, yet
  your composure collapses as unexpected situations arise on-site.

• Cases where you have studied hard and know about various artifacts, but in the actual exam, you are unable to judge which artifacts to analyze in a given situation.

• Cases where various pieces of theoretical knowledge fail to form a single cohesive flow, leading to inefficient searching and wasted time due to not knowing what to do next.

I believe these are the most difficult parts that those taking the exam for the first time experience,
and I have concluded that the best way to solve this is to become familiar with it by repeatedly taking mock exams.

So, in this online special lecture,

• we will summarize the overall exam process together and

• discuss parts that many people overlook or take lightly, but which actually contain many important hints, and
  

• I have structured the content to focus on considering how to conduct the test during the analysis phase.

Additionally, we have prepared a session where you can take a mock exam using a newly created practice scenario, in the hope that you will practice and master what you learned in the lecture
by applying it yourself after the lecture ends.

I expect the online lecture to take about 1–2 hours and the mock exam to take about 3 hours.
However, the online lecture will conclude after about 1–2 hours, and the mock exam is scheduled to be completed individually afterward.
While it would be ideal to conduct the mock exam together, I don't believe it would be very meaningful given the nature of an online format,
so we will proceed with the mock exam as an individual task.
Originally, this session was planned to focus on Q&A, but considering the importance of the topics covered, it is crucial to complete everything without interruption. Therefore, Q&A will be limited to a very brief discussion of simple matters at the beginning, and for any questions not answered then, please post them on the Q&A board, and I will respond to them sequentially.

Detailed information regarding the mock exam will be provided at the start of the lecture on the day of the special session.
The image files to be used for the mock exam are scheduled to be registered as [Practice Scenario 5] sometime tomorrow, and
since they will be uploaded as 12 split-compressed files, you must download all 12 files before extracting them.
(Practice image size: approx. 24.2GB)

Although I am uploading the practice images in advance of the special lecture,
please do not solve them beforehand. Instead, I hope you will think deeply about the points mentioned in the lecture
and try to solve them calmly in one sitting for 3 to 4 hours without interruption, setting a time limit just like a real exam.

Writing it out at such length might make it seem like some groundbreaking or monumental special lecture, but in reality, it isn't quite that, so please don't have overly high expectations; however, it will likely be a time to discuss things you already know but haven't turned into habits yet, things you are still in the process of adapting to, or points you might have taken lightly but are actually important. So, I hope you come without any grand expectations,
and it would be great if this serves as a time to once again remind yourself of the important details.

I will provide guidance on the relevant details on the day of the special lecture, before the session begins!
