Jack, a forensic investigator, was appointed to investigate a Windows-based security incident. In this process, he employed an Autopsy tool to recover the deleted files from unallocated space, which helps in gathering potential evidence.

Which of the following functions of Autopsy helped Jack recover the deleted files?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The scenario described involves the use of a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server.RADIUS is a client-server protocol that provides centralized network authentication12. In this case, the access point (client) forwards the connection request to the RADIUS server, which then sends authentication keys to both the access point and the user's laptop (supplicant).This process helps the access point identify the wireless client12.

RADIUS servers are also known as AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) servers because they provide these three services1. The authentication process begins when a user attempts to log into the network.Their device will request access either through the use of credentials or by presenting an X.509 digital certificate1.The RADIUS server then compares the user's information with a list of users stored in a directory or IDP (Identity Provider)1.

Therefore, the authentication method demonstrated in the scenario iscentralized authentication(Option D), where a central server (in this case, the RADIUS server) handles the authentication of users.

I vaguely recall that web artifacts deal more with browsing history and not file recovery, so I’m leaning towards data carving too.

Okay, let's see. The question says Autopsy was used to recover deleted files, so I'm guessing the relevant function is data carving. That's the process of reconstructing files from unallocated space, right?
