Great, Another Forensics Blog

Lets address the 300# guerrilla in the room, the world needs another computer forensics blog like I need a hole in my head. This of course begs the question why I’m starting one. The answer is, I have to and I want to.

I have to because it’s not enough to say “I have certs X, Y & Z, so hire me”. You need to be active in the community and having a blog is a great way to do that.

I have to because you truly get a far better understanding of a topic when you have to teach it as opposed to just learn it. I doubt the local YMCA is interested in such a class so a blog it is.

I want to because I’m spending such a huge amount of resources (both time and money) to learn these topics and I think that I’ll be able to help a few people start in their journey. If I fork out $3,000 + for a training, I can at least have the common decency to write out my opinions so others can make an informed decision on whether or not the training might benefit them.

Right now I imagine that this blog will be me reviewing trainings that I attend in person or via the internet. In the last 6 months I’ve attended computer forensics trainings and mobile device forensics trainings that I’ll give my opinion on here. I’ve taken several computer forensics certification exams recently which I’ll write about as well. I’ll also review products when I can.

I’ve started to delve into the realm of ethical hacking and computer security so you’ll probably see quite a bit of material on those subjects as well.

I’ve learned so much from others blogging efforts and hopefully I  can help others in the future.

SANS Index How To Guide with Pictures

Image
I got some great advice recently on creating an index for SANS exams and I wanted to write a blog post to share it with others. I took the SANS FOR 508 Computer Forensics course in 2008. It was way over my head but I had a great time and learned a ton. A few months ago I finally decided to go for my GCFA certification. I had four year old material from a course that had been completely revamped and no index. I passed the exam with a score in the 80s but it was a grueling experience. I had to rush on the last part of the exam and never felt comfortable. A few months after my GCFA exam I got an opportunity to attend a SANS SEC 504 class. I really wanted to prepare for my GCIH exam the right way so while I was at the conference I asked several individuals how they prepared their index. Most people told me that their indexes were 8-10 pages. A lot of these people had more SANS certs than I have friends so their methods obviously worked for them. My class had a teaching assistant (also SANS

Introducing FaviconLocator: The Eazy Button to Searching by Favicon

Image
  Favicons (short for favorite icons) are the cute little pixelated images that appear next to the site name in web browser tabs, bookmarks, etc. In the image below we can see the iconic GitHub logo on their site and the KFC logo on a bucket of chicken on their site. Originally, favicons were designed to add a touch of professionalism and branding, but for anyone who is like me and has over a dozen tabs open at any time, favicons are the only thing displayed and how I navigate tabs. Most of us rely on favicons on a daily basis but many never think of them as a tool we can use in OSINT and CTI investigations. That’s what we’re doing to talk about here as well as introduce a new tool. In addition to branding and aiding in navigation between tabs, favicons can serve as unique identifiers for websites. These unique identifiers can help us: Trace the online presence of organizations and discover obscure digital assets Map the online infrastructure of potential threats Potentially de-ano

Automating Domain Squatting Detection with DNSTwist and Python

Image
  There’s a good chance that, at some point, you’ve received a spam email with a link that looked close to the name of a popular domain but was just a little off. Payapl.com instead of Paypal.com or similar. Domain squatting is a malicious activity where attackers register domain names similar to legitimate ones. Attackers may use these domains to deceive users into believing they are visiting a legitimate website, which can lead to phishing and other attacks. DNSTwist (available here: https://github.com/elceef/dnstwist ) is a popular tool that helps identify domain names that are similar to a given domain name. It generates a list of potential domain names by applying various fuzzing techniques to the given domain name and then checks if these domains are registered. Check out the list of Bank Of America copycat domains: DNSTwist is an amazing tool that should likely be a part of every organization's Cyber Threat Intelligence monitoring efforts, and I wanted to automate it
