The LGDroid Lab challenges you to step into the role of a SOC analyst tasked with investigating a disk dump from an Android mobile device. This scenario simulates a real-world forensic investigation, requiring a deep dive into the data to extract critical insights. By analyzing various artifacts such as SQLite databases, log files, application data, and multimedia, you will reconstruct user activities, uncover evidence, and answer targeted questions about the device's usage patterns and behavior.
Throughout this lab, you'll employ essential forensic tools like DB Browser for SQLite to explore database files and Python scripts for advanced data analysis, such as image similarity comparison. You will leverage your understanding of technical concepts like epoch time conversion, application usage statistics, and structural similarity metrics to connect the dots between disparate pieces of evidence. Each task will challenge your ability to think critically, interpret structured data, and correlate findings to form a coherent narrative about the user's actions.
By following the walkthrough, you will learn how to systematically approach forensic challenges, extract meaningful information from raw data, and draw conclusions supported by evidence. This scenario offers a realistic and rewarding opportunity to hone your forensic analysis techniques in the context of Android endpoint investigations.
