Course Description
Mobile devices dominate the intake list and desks of most digital forensic analysts globally. As devices are becoming more secure, with an increase in security the need for detailed analysis is increasing as well. SQLite is a self-contained, serverless database engine. It is found on nearly every operating system and dominates iOS®, Android®, and macOS as one of the most prevalent and relevant data storage mechanisms. Rather than hope our forensic tools support the newest applications or be tethered to how a certain utility parses data, we can arm ourselves with the skills and techniques needed to conquer the analysis of nearly any application.

Key concepts covered in this course include:
     • What is SQLite and how to identify and analyze logically 
     • Recognizing relevant locations of valuable data within SQLite database
     • Develop skills needed for crafting custom SQLite queries
     • Recognize and decode a variety of common timestamp formats
     • Perform SQLite analysis with automation 

Students who complete this course and pass the post-test are eligible for 1.0 point toward the 3CE certification.
