Assignment

With the identification and preservation of the physical and digital evidence completed the incident response team must now enter the data collection phase.

Describe the volatile and non-volatile evidence types to be collected and the methods to both collect and analyze the two types of evidence.

• Describe the volatile live acquisition process to collect evidence related to system memory and registry changes and analysis methods conducted over this evidence.
