This comprehensive forensic workflow guides investigators through the extraction and detailed analysis of Windows Registry hives (SAM, SYSTEM, SOFTWARE, etc.). It is used during incident response to uncover critical artifacts, including user activity history, malware persistence mechanisms (autorun keys), installed software records, and evidence of system compromise.

This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for analyzing malicious software to extract actionable Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). It covers static analysis (PE parsing, hashing, string extraction) and dynamic analysis techniques. Users learn how to identify file hashes, network indicators (C2 IPs, domains), registry modifications, and behavioral artifacts, ultimately formatting the findings into standard STIX 2.1 formats for sharing and incident response.

A comprehensive guide and technical framework for detecting and mitigating ransomware kill switch mechanisms. It details methods for analyzing mutex guards, domain-based communication, and registry checks. Learn how to deploy proactive mutex vaccination and use Sysmon/DNS monitoring to prevent malware execution during incident response and analysis.

Plaso (log2timeline) is an open-source engine used to generate forensic super-timelines. This skill guides the process of normalizing hundreds of diverse artifact types—including MACB times, registry keys, EVTX logs, and browser history—into a single, cohesive chronological view. The workflow covers extraction, filtering, and importing the timeline into Timesketch for collaborative analysis, which is crucial for incident response, correlating complex activity chains, and detecting anti-forensic techniques like timestomping.
