This course takes a deep dive into both Android and iOS systems, focusing on the data structures and storage formats that commercial tools often overlook\u2014like protobufs, app-specific databases, and custom data stores. You\u2019ll also explore Android malware investigations and learn how to identify and analyze malicious behavior.<\/p>\n
Students will learn how to use Python scripting to extract and process forensic artifacts. You’ll develop the skills to automate tasks, write your own tools, and better understand how scripting can strengthen your investigations.\n<\/p>\n
