Narcos-1 C:/ Image Analysis Using Autopsy Forensic Toolkit
Introduction:
This is a basic introduction to using Autopsy to examine the contents of a criminal suspect’s
computer. While this is not a real criminal case, but a training tool, there are examples of
paraphernalia and other nefarious dealings throughout the disk image. The situation is that there is
a gang smuggling crystal methamphetamine between Australia and New Zealand. As the new intern
at a computer forensics lab, you have been tasked with finding out some basic information about the
suspect, and the data on their computer’s C: drive.
Assignment:
Before beginning you must download (3) items from here:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhucZmhY8LVWgrtSJrsadgbSDK9u-A…

• autopsy.db
• Narcos-1.zip
o Unzip this file (30GB)
o Open the “Image” folder within this file
o Drag both Narcos_1.aut and autopsy.db into the “Image” folder
Load the Narcos-1 image into Autopsy and examine the contents. Do this by running Autopsy and
clicking on “Open Case”. If you point the Autopsy software at the “Image” folder in the Narcos-1 folder
that you just unzipped, you should now see the Narcos_1.aut file. Double click on it and the case will
load.

Learning Goal: I’m working on a cyber security exercise and need support to help me learn.
Using your Kali machine:
1. Get the password files from bones using firefox (with proxy). The URL is
bones-pub.ece.iastate.edu/passwords.tar.
2. Store the file on the disk (it will be put in the Downloads directory)
3. Move the file into your home directory
4. Untar the file (tar –xvf passwords.tar )
5. You should end up with two unix password files (passwd1, passwd2) and one encrypted SAM (config
directory).
PART 1 (Crack UNIX passwords)
1. Use john or any other unix password cracking software to find the passwords in the two password files:
passwd1, passwd2
PART 2 (crack Windows XP passwords)
.
1. You need to download a table to use ophcrack. From the web browser on your kali box go to:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ophcrack/files/tab…
2. Uncompress the zip file and then delete the .zip file
3. Run ophcrack (you will need to load the table the first time you run it) Note: you select the directory the
table was stored and click install.
4. Load the encrypted SAM file from the directory “config”.
For both part 1 and part 2 turn in a list of which passwords you found and what the passwords are.

There are many chipsets out there inside our phones. One of them is the Mediatek chipset. Use the following for github (you may have to install github):
https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
Download and create a bootable usb drive (using rufus)
Live DVD V4 User: user, Password:user (based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS)
Follow the directions of the github link (don’t need the Linux or windows instructions) start at the USAGE part.
Go through the all the commands take screen shots
Even though you may not have a phone to use this against, the purpose is to expose you to cutting edge (experimental) tools that COULD work.
