I don't think I need to say anything else. I'm still learning, but when I see the emails I get, I see words of encouragement for students who are about to take the exam, continuous updates, and quick replies to questions from students. It's a lecture that has everything. It's a great lecture that you won't regret spending money on. I think it's the best lecture for those who are new to digital forensics. I want to thank the instructor for creating such a great, high-quality lecture. Thank you :)

The content is really good. I really don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had this lecture when I first started studying. I will prepare well for the third exam. Thank you so much for creating such a high-quality lecture.

Those who feel overwhelmed preparing for the Digital Forensic Professional Level 2 practical exam
When I first gave a lecture on the Digital Forensic Professional Level 2 practical exam for employees at my former workplace, the feedback I received after giving a standard, general-level lecture was consistently, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Looking back, I was telling people who didn't even know exactly what "sectors" and "clusters" were to analyze partition tables in the MBR and move to the BR sector, so there was no way they could follow along.
I think many of you who are just starting to prepare for the Digital Forensic Professional Level 2 certification feel the same way.
It is a test for which it is still difficult to find related information or educational materials, and even the materials and lectures you managed to find were likely difficult because they focused on professional details of specific parts rather than the big picture, right?
This lecture was created to solve those difficulties.
As the first step to becoming a digital forensics expert, I will guide you slowly and in detail, step-by-step, from forensic terminology for understanding basic lectures to writing exam answers.
I have prepared everything meticulously
so that anyone can pass.
Only the essential content,
detailed and calm
I have excluded unnecessary details, keeping in mind that I am explaining this to someone studying digital forensics for the first time. I will explain only the essential content you must know for the exam in a detailed and calm manner.
Complex legal theories,
all at once neatly organized
Legal theory is difficult to organize all at once, isn't it? Even if it's not perfect, we will organize it by case so that you can at least know how to write your answers. (Separate materials provided)
From entering the testing center
to submitting your answers
I will explain the entire process slowly and in order, from what you need to do when you first enter the testing center to the start of the exam, writing answers for theoretical questions, searching for evidence, and finally, the end of the exam.
Encase
or
Autopsy
Just make your choice!
You wanted to use Encase, but found it difficult to access, right?
That's why I've also prepared lectures using Autopsy!
Now, practice with the analysis tool you intend to use at the testing center!
✔ Please note that as of October 2023, additional Encase lectures will no longer be updated and questions regarding them cannot be answered.
Since it's your first time,
so you don't get confused!
If you can use various forensic programs, you can find evidence more accurately and easily. To do that, you would obviously need to know how to use a variety of programs. However, for beginners, I have often seen the unfortunate situation where the more programs they have to use, the more the instructions for each one get mixed up, resulting in them being unable to use even a single program properly.
Because it's your first time, we don't want you to get confused!
We have minimized the number of programs used in the lecture.
1. EnCase Course
1) Encase 21.2 (Commercial program. Available only with a license)
2) FTK Imager 4.5.0.2
3) HxD 2.5.0.0
2. Autopsy Course
1) Autopsy 4.20.0
2) FTK Imager 4.7.1.2
3) HxD 2.5.0.0
4) REGA 1.5.3(DFRC)
5) LNK Parser(DFRC)
We will help you master only the essential tools you truly need!
BONUS🎁
Practice problems should be solved before you go to feel at ease, right?
Solve scenarios and problems designed to be similar to the actual exam, then check the answer explanation videos to identify any weak points and build your practical skills.

1) Legal Theory
We have briefly summarized the legal theories that digital forensic experts should know, such as the Criminal Procedure Act.
2) Exam Overview
I have organized the entire process in order, from things to check after entering the testing room to the start of the exam, during the exam, and finally, writing and submitting your answers.
3) Forensic Terminology
You should at least know what a sector is and what hexadecimal is to understand the lecture, right? I have organized the relevant terms.
4) Forensic Procedures
I have summarized the procedures that must be followed to maintain integrity during digital forensics.
5) File System
Based on the Windows FAT32 / NTFS file systems, I have summarized MBR and BR, which are essential to know for partition recovery.
6) Write Protection Practice
Always use write-protection before creating a copy! Let's learn about write-protection through hands-on practice.
7) How to use forensic tools
I have summarized the basic usage of FTK Imager and EnCase—forensic programs you will use in both the lectures and the actual exam—by dividing the process into basic information verification, image creation, and analysis.
8) Partition Recovery
I have detailed the methods for recovery according to the process by which the partition was damaged.
9) Analysis of Past Exam Questions
I checked several examples of scenarios (case overviews) and organized the questions that have been released so far by type.
10) How to verify information
I have categorized and organized the methods for finding specific information required by the questions into different types.

Q&A 💬
Q. I'm a complete beginner who knows nothing; will I be able to follow the course?
You've come to the right place :)
Q. Can I pass the practical exam just by watching this lecture?
The course I have prepared is not aimed at achieving a high score.
If you practice consistently and at least master the content covered in the lectures, I believe it is well within your reach.
Q. Are additional classes updated for every exam?
Since the goal of this lecture is to build a foundation so that you can understand the next level, there are unfortunately no plans for additional lecture updates at this time. To be honest, it is quite difficult to find the time as I have my own main profession. I apologize for not being able to give you a definitive answer, but if there is a part that is absolutely necessary for the course and I have the time, I will do my best to make it happen.
I will teach you like a friend from a beginner's perspective.

🎙️ I am not a digital forensics expert. Although I hold a digital forensics professional certification, was lucky enough to win an award in a competition, and have experience handling digital forensics tasks, I do not consider myself an expert. The nature of the work I handled was relatively low in technical depth to be called an expert, and having seen so many outstanding individuals, I believe I still have much more to study before I can call myself an expert.
Since I am also a beginner with so much still to learn, wouldn't I be able to see things from the same perspective as those who are just starting out? Please think of me as a friend studying alongside you, who just happens to know slightly more than those taking this course :)
