A comprehensive guide for collecting volatile forensic evidence from a compromised host while adhering to the order of volatility. This process captures critical data—including memory dumps, network connections, running processes, and system state—before the host is isolated or powered down. Essential for root cause analysis, fileless malware investigation, and maintaining a defensible chain of custody for legal proceedings.

This guide details the comprehensive workflow for conducting memory forensics using Volatility 3. It covers the entire incident response lifecycle, from acquiring raw RAM dumps to analyzing processes, detecting rootkits, investigating network connections, and extracting sensitive artifacts like credentials and injected code. Essential for live memory analysis in cybersecurity investigations.

A comprehensive skill for detecting advanced malware techniques, including DLL injection, process hollowing, APC injection, and thread hijacking. Utilizes memory forensics (Volatility), API monitoring (Sysmon), and behavioral analysis to identify malicious code artifacts and suspicious process activities in a deep defense context.

A comprehensive guide to detecting sophisticated rootkit activity and persistent threats that evade standard security tools (like Task Manager or EDR). Techniques include cross-view process analysis, identifying System Service Descriptor Table (SSDT) hooks, kernel module analysis, and network connection forensics using tools like Volatility. Use this when standard monitoring fails, and deep system integrity checks are required.

This utility performs comprehensive forensic analysis on memory dumps. It leverages industry-standard tools like Volatility and Mimikatz to extract sensitive information, including cached credentials, NTLM/LM hashes, Kerberos tickets, and authentication tokens. It is crucial for incident response, assessing the scope of credential compromise, and investigating lateral movement attacks.

This tool leverages the Rekall memory forensics framework to conduct deep analysis of memory dumps. It is designed to detect sophisticated threats such as process hollowing, injected code via VAD anomalies, hidden operating system processes, and rootkit presence. It applies key forensic plugins (pslist, malfind, vadinfo) essential for rigorous incident response and malware analysis.

This skill provides comprehensive methods to detect Cobalt Strike beacon command-and-control (C2) traffic. It uses advanced network forensics techniques, including analyzing default TLS certificates (e.g., serial 8BB00EE), JA3/JA3S fingerprints, HTTP malleable profiles, and beacon interval jitter, leveraging Zeek logs, Suricata rules, and Python PCAP analysis. It is essential for threat hunters and SOC analysts investigating sophisticated C2 communications.

This skill detects anti-forensic timestomping by analyzing NTFS Master File Table (MFT) entries. It compares timestamps from the $STANDARD_INFORMATION attribute (user-modifiable) against the $FILE_NAME attribute (kernel-protected). Discrepancies, such as SI Created < FN Created, strongly indicate malicious manipulation and defense evasion. This methodology is crucial for advanced threat hunting and digital forensic investigations.

A comprehensive guide on implementing AWS CloudTrail log analysis for robust security monitoring, threat detection, and forensic investigation. Learn how to configure CloudTrail, use Amazon Athena for SQL querying, and leverage CloudWatch Logs Insights and SIEM integration to identify unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and suspicious API activity across AWS services.

This tool provides comprehensive network traffic analysis capabilities by querying the Arkime API. Users can search sessions, download PCAPs for forensics, detect sophisticated threats like C2 beaconing (via jitter/interval analysis), spot DNS tunneling patterns, and flag connections to known-bad TLS certificate issuers. Ideal for security assessment and incident investigation.

A comprehensive guide for SOC analysts and digital forensics experts. This skill covers the entire lifecycle of a phishing incident, from initial user report and header analysis (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to detonating malicious URLs/attachments in sandboxes. It guides users on scoping the attack, identifying impacted users via SIEM/proxy logs, and executing containment measures like email purges.

A comprehensive guide for conducting deep disk forensics investigations. This method covers secure evidence acquisition, creating bit-for-bit forensic images, analyzing file system structures (MFT, inodes), recovering deleted files, and reconstructing timelines using industry-standard tools like Autopsy, FTK Imager, and The Sleuth Kit. Essential for legal, HR, and security incident response.
