4. You are nearing the end of your investigation. You need to present a summary of how the file was leaked based on your research. What is the most professional way to document your findings?
5. You find a suspicious document file. To begin your investigation as a cyber-detective, what is the first piece of File Metadata you should inspect to see when the file was created?
6. While analyzing a leaked image file, you notice the location data is missing. What does this suggest about the File Metadata of this specific document?
7. You discover a file where the 'Last Modified' date is earlier than the 'Created' date. As a cyber-detective, how do you interpret this anomaly in the File Metadata?
8. You are tracing a leaked file and find that the author's name is listed in the document's hidden properties. How should you document this File Metadata evidence?
