Digital Forensics Fundamentals: Disk, Memory, and Network Evidence
<p>A story-driven walkthrough of digital forensics fundamentals: how to establish chain of custody, evidence integrity through hashing, and order of volatility before touching any evidence; how to image a workstation drive and recover deleted files and USB and file-access artifacts; how to capture and analyze a live memory image for hidden processes and injected code; how to use packet captures and DNS logs to distinguish a genuine command-and-control compromise from ordinary data movement; and how to write a forensic report structured to hold up for legal and HR use — complete with realistic hash verification output, Volatility-style memory analysis, and Wireshark filter examples.</p>
