Courses • DFIR • Practical
Learn how to preserve, analyze, and present digital evidence — from compromised endpoints
and servers to logs and cloud activity — using practical workflows aligned with real incident response.
Difficulty:
Intermediate (SOC / IR friendly)
✅ End-to-end DFIR workflow (Acquire → Analyze → Report)
✅ Disk + Memory + Logs + Timelines
✅ Windows & Linux artefacts explained clearly
✅ Casework style labs + report templates
✓ Evidence handling • ✓ Chain of custody mindset • ✓ Timelines • ✓ Defensible reporting
Overview
This course takes you through the full lifecycle of a digital investigation:
receiving an incident alert, preserving volatile evidence, analyzing artefacts,
building timelines, and presenting findings that stand up to internal review.
Who this is for
SOC analysts & incident responders
Cybersecurity students who want DFIR skills
System / network admins handling security incidents
Blue-team learners building investigation confidence
What you’ll be able to do
Preserve evidence with integrity (hashing + logs)
Analyze disks + memory + logs for attacker traces
Reconstruct attacker activity using timelines
Write clear forensic reports with exhibits
How we teach
Scenario brief → short concepts → hands-on acquisition → analysis → timeline → reporting.
You build a repeatable investigation playbook, not just tool knowledge.
Quick facts
Level: Intermediate
Focus: DFIR workflow + reporting
Includes: Evidence log + report templates
Targets: Windows, Linux, logs, timelines
The goal is “prove what happened” with evidence — not assumptions.
✓ Casework style labs • ✓ Templates included • ✓ Updated for 2026
You can build a clean DFIR mini-portfolio: timelines, exhibits, and reports (lab-only data).

Curriculum
Learn the investigator mindset: integrity, collection strategy, artefacts, timelines, and reporting.
Each module ends with a small case exercise.
Foundations + Chain of Custody Module 1 Integrity, evidence handling, hashing, case notes, and what makes findings defensible.
Disk Forensics + File Systems Module 2 Images, partitions, NTFS/ext basics, deleted artefacts, and safe analysis workflow.
Memory Forensics + Live Response Module 3 When live response is required, process/network artefacts, injected code indicators, triage thinking.
Windows Artefacts + User Activity Module 4 Event logs, registry basics, prefetch/jump lists concepts, browser traces, execution evidence.
Linux & Server-Side Forensics Module 5 Auth logs, web logs, cron/persistence, timeline reconstruction for compromised servers.
Network + Cloud Investigation Module 6 PCAP/flow basics, exfil patterns, suspicious logins, cloud audit trail mindset.
Timelining + Reporting (Capstone Case) Module 7 Combine artefacts into one story, validate confidence, and produce a final report with exhibits.
Tip: This course complements SOC/IR. If you want full pentesting, take the Advanced Penetration Testing track.
Labs & Casework
Labs are structured like real investigations: you receive a scenario, collect evidence, analyze, then report.
Case 1: Suspicious USB
Analyze an image, identify touched files, and confirm execution traces.
Case 2: Ransomware on Server
Log + disk analysis to map initial access, execution chain, and impact.
Case 3: Suspicious Cloud Login
Decide whether it’s benign or attacker activity using audit trail logic.

FAQs
Is this only for law enforcement?
No — it’s technical DFIR for SOC/IR and security roles. We cover custody mindset but focus on practical investigation skills.
Which tools will we use?
Open-source tooling + common concepts used in commercial suites. You learn the logic, not only buttons.
Do I get case images to practice?
Yes — lab images and structured cases (subject to acceptable use policy).
Will there be a certificate?
Yes — after completing the capstone case + report submission.
