In reply to MangoSlice. Hello, my apologies for the late response. I haven't personally done any iPhone forensics yet, but a great place to ask is the Digital Forensics Discord server. It is a great community and they have mobile forensics channels. https://aboutdfir.com/a-beginners-guide-to-the-digital-forensics-discord-server/

DFIR DIVA, love your website, super informative! Thanks for sharing your lab evolution! LOVE IT!!! I wish I would have found your page sooner, would have helped me a great deal as I finish up my MS in DF. Is there a free, open source tool you would recommend to extract iPhone SE data? My schools forensic virtual machine is just not working right and trying to extract iPhone data on a VM using Cellebrite UFED and Axiom is just not working. I don’t have access to paid tools at home, so am looking for another solution. Thanks for all you do!

Definitely recommending your site who is entering not only into Digital Forensics but just plain IT. Great place to start and I love the how to on home lab set up. Have not seen anywhere else the amount of detailed Information all together in one place. Thanks for your dedication to the field and newbies.

WOW! Loving your Home Lab. I actually just started mine this year. I’m going to document my progress and maybe someday I’ll be able to help others just as you. Very informative and inspirational.

In reply to Ash. Hello. I don't really know about the cyber engineer role or what's required for that, but the Cyber Ops certification is geared toward SOC Analysts/Incident Response.

I am currently in a masters program for cybersecurity engineering. I am curious about the Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate CBROPS certifation. As I am trying to specifically become a cyber engineer, would it be recommended to obtain this certification instead of CCNA?

If so, would it be beneficial to setup a a conventional CCNA/CCNP home lab with routers, switches, and so on? Also, which books would you recommend for this route?

Just wanted to say, THANK YOU! I’m a noob and is hard to find a space that is so well documented that actually has all I need and more, the work that you are doing by sharing your own work is extremely valuable, and is important that you know that they are a ton of people that are thankful for you help!
