CPE credits: 32   |  Level: Expert   |  Prerequisites: EnCase® Advanced Computer Forensics as well as some familiarity with any programming language. Advance preparation for this course is not required.

This hands-on course is designed for students who wish to learn new programming techniques and how to apply them in a new language using real-life, meaningful investigations. Reinforcing programming logic and common statements, this class focuses on simple EnScripts and programming techniques while edifying the different data types, operators, program control statements, and data access methods used within EnScript. Delivery method: Group-Live. NASBA defined level: advanced. Potential students should not be intimidated that EnScript mimics C++ and Java Script, as EnCase has a much easier programming interface. The syntax of EnScript will become clear and natural as the course progresses.

Instructors and students will write EnScripts together, followed by practice and practical exercises. Students will leave with the ability to write simple to intermediate level EnScripts to automate activities involving examinations of computer systems. This course covers programming concepts including:

• History/Organization of EnScript
• EnScript Interface
• Variables and Operators
• Loops and Functions
• Classes
• EntryClass
• FileClass
• WindowClass
• Recursion
• Filters, Queries and Conditions
• Searching and Bookmarking
• Reading and Writing to External Local Files

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This live course is intended for investigators with minimal to intermediate computer skills. A basic understanding of the concepts of computer forensics and the EnCase operating environment is required. The class curriculum builds upon the foundation of the EnCase Advanced Computer Forensics or EnCase Enterprise - Phase II course, continuing with a focus on automating computer examinations through writing EnScripts. Advanced programmers may consider taking this course to acclimate themselves with the EnScript programming interface, as well as learning some valuable EnScript tips and tricks.
