Free resources
A glossary, software guides, a career roadmap and lab exercises. Free to read and use.
This is where DFRTI keeps its learning material outside the courses. Look up a forensic term, read what the main tools do and when examiners use them, plan your career path or practise on lab exercises.
The material covers disk, memory, mobile, network, cloud, OSINT, video and malware work. Some downloads, datasets and lab tools need a DFRTI login or course enrolment.
GlossaryShort, plain definitions of the words you will meet in forensic reports, lab manuals and court documents.
Software GuidesA short guide to the tools used in forensic labs, what each one does and when an examiner reaches for it.
Career RoadmapA step-by-step path from your first course to senior forensic roles, with the jobs and employers at each stage.
Lab ExercisesPractise on realistic evidence. Our labs let you image, examine and report on cases the way a forensic examiner does.Not sure this is the right one for you?
