This comprehensive guide provides techniques for acquiring, analyzing, and extracting artifacts from memory dumps. It covers best practices for digital forensics, crucial for incident response and malware analysis. Users learn how to use industry-standard tools like Volatility 3 on Windows, Linux, and macOS, including process, network, and registry deep dives.

Walks through analyzing RAM dumps with Volatility 3/2 to uncover injected code, hidden processes, network activity, and credentials when responding to compromised hosts.

This skill outlines the comprehensive process of memory forensics on compromised Linux systems. It guides users through acquiring volatile memory using the LiME kernel module and analyzing the resulting image with the Volatility 3 framework. Key artifacts extracted include process lists, network connections, bash history, and loaded kernel modules, making it an essential technique for incident response, threat hunting, and security investigations.

Utilize the Scapy library in Python to perform deep packet inspection, crafting, sending, and sniffing of various network protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP, DNS). This skill is essential for analyzing pcap files, implementing advanced security techniques like SYN scans, extracting protocol fields, and detecting network anomalies such as fragmentation or tunneling indicators. Ideal for security researchers, SOC analysts, and penetration testers.

A comprehensive guide for deep packet inspection and network forensics using Wireshark and tshark. This skill is critical for incident response, where it allows users to capture, filter, and analyze network packet data to identify malicious command-and-control traffic, diagnose complex protocol issues, extract indicators of compromise (IOCs), and reconstruct data exfiltration paths. Use it for validating security rules and understanding network anomalies.

Shellbags are registry artifacts that track user folder browsing activity (view settings, access path) via Windows Explorer. This method reconstructs a user's interaction history with local drives, network shares, and removable media, providing definitive evidence of folder access even when the directories are deleted. Essential for digital forensics and incident response.

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 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 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 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.

Utilize Velociraptor, an advanced open-source platform, to collect, query, and monitor forensic artifacts across diverse endpoints (Windows, Linux, macOS). This skill enables incident response teams to perform large-scale, rapid digital forensic investigations by collecting critical data such as event logs, registry entries, prefetch files, and network metadata using VQL queries.

This skill guides users on performing deep runtime threat detection and forensics in cloud-native environments using Falco. It leverages Falco YAML rules to monitor syscalls, detecting critical security events such as shell spawning, file tampering (e.g., /etc/shadow), network anomalies, and privilege escalation within containers and Kubernetes clusters. Ideal for incident response, security auditing, and validating container runtime security controls.
