How do I get started?
If you're just beginning to think about pursuing a career in this area, the first step is to do some research. There is a wealth of information out there to help you get started, and a lot of ways to practice on your own even before you join a course or start learning officially.
Take a look at some of the digital forensics websites and forums, where more experienced practitioners share their knowledge and are available to help you with questions. You can download free tools such as Autopsy and FTK Imager to practice with, and use either your own devices or test images found online to create and work through cases. All of this will be valuable experience for when you start studying or working in the field.
