Was Fachleute über diesen Kurs sagen

Akira H.

Analyst für digitale Kriminalität
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dieser Kurs hat meine Erwartungen weit übertroffen. Die Erläuterung der WAL/SHM-Strukturen und der manuellen Wiederherstellungsabläufe hat mir das Vertrauen gegeben, die Beschränkungen der Tools bei echten Untersuchungen in Frage zu stellen.

Renata S.

Berater für mobile Forensik
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ich habe schon viele Schulungen besucht, aber keine war so intensiv und praktisch wie diese. Die Kombination aus praktischen Übungen, CTFs und SQLite-Interna machte es unglaublich wertvoll für meine Arbeit mit Android-App-Daten.

Jeroen V.

Ermittler der Abteilung Cyberkriminalität
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Die manuelle Wiederherstellung von Freelist-Seiten und die Dekodierung von Varints halfen mir, nur wenige Wochen nach der Schulung einen Fall zu lösen. James hat die seltene Fähigkeit, komplexe Themen klar und praktisch zu erklären.

SQLite Visualizer.
Visualize, Decode, Explore. All-in-One SQLite Analysis Suite.

SQLite Visualizer was developed to enhance the way forensic professionals interact with SQLite data, both during training and in real investigations. This forensic suite was originally designed specifically for this course to complement the techniques you’ll learn and make advanced database analysis more accessible and efficient.

Die Suite vereint Dekodierung, Visualisierung und Interpretation in einer Oberfläche. Sie vereinfacht die Arbeit mit WAL-Dateien, Varints, Überlaufseiten und strukturierten Datensätzen und hilft Ihnen, klarere Einblicke in komplexe mobile App-Daten zu gewinnen.

Im SQLite Forensics-Kurs werden Sie das Tool während des gesamten Kurses in Übungen und realen Szenarien verwenden und es anschließend behalten. Es ist eine Ressource, auf die Sie sich verlassen können, wenn Sie Anwendungsdaten untersuchen, gelöschte Datensätze wiederherstellen oder Ergebnisse präzise validieren.

This reflects our belief that effective training should leave you with practical skills and the tools and methods to apply them right away.

Why SQLite Still Matters in Mobile Forensics

SQLite remains the backbone of mobile app storage, powering everything from chat histories and location logs to app settings, cached media, and application artifacts.

Tools extract the data. SQLite knowledge explains it.

While forensic tools handle basic extraction well, they often stop short of revealing what is stored deeper inside database internals such as Write-Ahead Logs, overflow chains, freelists, or custom schemas unique to each app.

As mobile software evolves rapidly, examiners increasingly face situations where data is only partially decoded, misinterpreted, or missed altogether. Understanding the inner workings of SQLite has become essential for reliable mobile analysis.

This course was built with that reality in mind. You’ll learn how to break down SQLite at the structural level, recover data manually, interpret how records are organized, and spot patterns or anomalies that tools alone may not explain.

Practical outcome More control in complex or time-critical mobile investigations.
