Question 2

In EnCase, 'file signature analysis' compares a file's header bytes against its extension to:

Accepted Answer

Detect files whose true type does not match their extension, indicating possible hiding

Answer

File signature analysis identifies mismatches between a file's magic bytes (true type) and its extension, which may indicate deliberate obfuscation.

Question 3

Which of the following best describes EnCase's 'Sweep Enterprise' capability?

Accepted Answer

It simultaneously searches multiple remote endpoints for specified artifacts or conditions

Sweep Enterprise allows an examiner to push queries or conditions to multiple networked endpoints simultaneously, collecting targeted data at scale.

Question 4

In EnCase, what is stored in the 'case file' (.case extension)?

Accepted Answer

Metadata about the case including evidence paths, bookmarks, tags, and search results

Answer

The .case file is a metadata container storing case configuration, evidence references, bookmarks, tags, and analysis results — not the actual evidence data.

Question 5

When EnCase computes an MD5 hash of an evidence file to verify integrity, this hash is stored in the:

Accepted Answer

E01 file's header and footer segments

EnCase embeds the acquisition hash within the E01 file's internal header and footer, allowing integrity verification without external files.
