Introduction to Memory Forensics
Everything you need to get started with memory forensics
Memory Forensics is a required skill for digital analysts these days; it is also a needed in order to keep up with advanced attackers. In addition to attackers avoiding disk, thousands of nodes and BYOD are increasing the complexity of investigations. Gone are the days when an analyst could examine one machine at a time- results must be quick and precise. Oftentimes if you are not proactive, you’ve already lost the war before you even knew it was raging.
This course will level the playing board for those who want to quickly triage and investigate infected machines in their enterprise.
