It provides world-class knowledge and skills to analyze and decrypt encrypted electronic evidence in an easy to follow format.

This online, self-paced course provides forensic examiners with a start-to-finish education on the use of Passware Kit Forensic. During the course, students learn how to detect encrypted evidence, recover passwords for all common file types, analyze memory images, recover passwords for mobile backups, decrypt hard drives, and more.

The course consists of 15 video sessions, varying from 15 to 30 minutes each. At the end of each session, attendees take a “knowledge check” — a simple 3 to 5 question quiz. Participants in this training course may take the exam to receive a Passware Certified Examiner (PCE) designation. Prior knowledge or use of Passware Kit Forensic is not required to take this course.
