ONLINE SELF PACED (OSP)

  1. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO COMPLETE OSP CLASSES? After completing your registration, you will have access to the OSP course for 30 days.

  1. I AM NOT ABLE TO DOWNLOAD OSP FILES AND THEY ARE CORRUPT? Each file needs to be downloaded individually, it you receive an error message, please download the file again.

  1. SOMETHING IMPEDING AXIOM FROM IDENTIFYING THAT IT’S BITLOCKER ENCRYPTED? To fix this issue please turn on the Passware Encryption feature in the AXIOM Process Settings.

  1. WHERE DO I FIND THE PASSWORD FOR MY OSP COURSE? The password for the evidence files is in the Getting Started course instructions.

  1. HOW DO I ACCESS MY OSP COURSES? Once you register to the course, you will receive an email directly from Moodle with your username and a link to create your password. Please expect an approximately 30-minute delay. If you already have a Moodle account, then log in in with your previous information.

  1. WHAT DO I DO WHEN I SEE “LOCATE SOURCE” IN AXIOM EXAMINE AND I AM UNABLE TO VIE THE REGISTRY OR FILE SYSTEM IN MY CASE FILE? In AXIOM, when your case file gets disconnected from your evidence file you will see a locate source option. This can happen when a case file is processed on one computer and is no longer stored in the same path as it was on the machine it was processed on. The easiest way to fix this issue is to change the explorer to the File System Explorer. When you are in the file system explorer select each of the items of evidence and look in the TEXT AND HEX card for the following link “LOCATE SOURCE”. Once you have selected the LOCATE SOURCE option it will open a file explorer window where you can browse to the evidence file it is looking for (in the image above Dashner Win10 PC.E01). Assuming you have also downloaded the evidence files, you can then point to that evidence file wherever you downloaded it to. Once the link has been restored you will then see the TEXT and HEX card as well as the registry contents populate as expected. You can see the path and filename currently being looked for and all you have to do is make note of the evidence file it is looking for and then choose the LOCATE SOURCE hyperlink.

  1. JUST SIGNED UP OF AN OSP COURSE BUT CANOT ACCESS CLASS Once the registration is completed, there is about a 15 minute delay and then the course will be available to you in our Learning Management System here: https://magnetforensics.yourmoodle.com/
