Summary
In this chapter, we have learned how to harvest data on a system without having to open it. This process included collecting documentations and pieces that will feed our investigation and reflection process.
We then learned how to open a system and the necessary precautions that we must take when doing so in order to protect our test system and ourselves. This primary approach to the system will feed our ongoing analysis and will allow us to understand how the system will actually implement the functionality it provides to the user.
In the next chapter, we will go through a methodology that will help you assess where the important bits of information are in a system, as well as how to assess how they should be protected.
