+Being able to recognize different encoding schemes can be an asset when trying to find hidden information. However, encoding isn’t the most secure way to code a message. If a person recognizes the encoding scheme, all they have to do is go to the lookup table to decode it. <br>
+
+Encryption is different from encoding as encoded messages do not require secret information to understand or interpret. Whereas, encryption involves altering the content of the message and must be decrypted using a secret key to reverse the process. Encryption is a more secure way to code a message. Encryption takes a key known by the encoder and uses that key to change the message. Then, only the people that know the key will be able to decrypt the message. The simplest form of encryption is a Caesar Cypher. For the example above, a Caesar Cypher shift +1 would shift each letter in the message up by one character. So, Let the games begin! would become Mfu uif hbnft cfhjo! More information on encryption: <br>

+# File Analysis
+
+File analysis and understanding is one aspect of the larger field of Digital Forensics. Digital Forensics encompasses the investigation of data found on digital devices and involves preserving, identifying, extracting, documenting and interpreting this data. <br>
+
+One of the more common activities in digital forensics is the recovery of deleted files. Though a user may have “deleted” or “moved a file to the trash bin” those files are not always deleted. A very nice set of intuitive tools for use in digital forensics is The Sleuth Kit tool set (http://www.sleuthkit.org/index.php). <br>
+
+Below is a screenshot of the output of the Sleuth Kit file listing tool (fls) which shows two files that have been “deleted” by the user but are still recoverable. The ability to recover and save what was previously thought to be deleted files can be very valuable in an investigation. <br>
