Summary

In this chapter, we learned all about photo, video, and audio forensics. First, we introduced the concept of media forensics to learn which artifacts an investigator should expect to find on an iOS device and where they are located.

Later on in the chapter, we focused on analyzing metadata from photos and videos. We introduced the Photos.sqlite database and discussed different options to extract data pertaining to the media files stored on the device. Then, we learned all about EXIF metadata, how an investigation can benefit from such data, and how to extract it using Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Finally, in the last section of this chapter, we discussed how to detect user viewing activity by using the events logged in the KnowledgeC.db database.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to analyze third-party applications.
