Introduction

The following guide was made with the purpose of educating others on cyber security tools, technologies, and techniques with the intention of educating others on better protecting their own technologies and data. Please use the knowledge gained from this guide responsibly.

This guide will demonstrate how a user can use the integrated ‘Forensic Mode’

Forensic Mode is used by security researchers and pen-testers for the explicit purpose of digital forensics. What is particularly useful about this feature is that it can be booted from a USB device containing a Kali ISO.

Booting into this mode will not mount any system hard drives, that way the operations you preform on the system will not leave any trace.

This guide does require you to have a Bootable USB Drive with Kali Linux written to it. If you don’t already have one, you can follow this guide to create one.
