Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR) Training
Master Hands-On Forensic Investigation with Private 1-on-1 Classes in Boston, MA, USA
Modern cyber incident response requires deep technical expertise to trace attacker actions, recover volatile evidence, and extract actionable Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). Whether you are preparing for enterprise threat hunting, SOC analysis, or legal digital evidence examination, these private one-on-one Digital Forensics classes in Boston, MA are tailored to take you from core concepts to advanced artifact parsing.
Core Modules & Technical Tools Covered
Disk & Memory Analysis
Master evidence-preservation protocols to capture, mount, and inspect physical disks and volatile RAM without altering metadata.
- FTK Imager: Creating forensically sound E01, RAW, and DD images, hashing verification (MD5/SHA256), and raw system inspection.
- Arsenal Image Mounter (AIM): Real disk mounting, BitLocker volume mounting, Volume Shadow Copy (VSC) analysis, and VM booting.
- Memory Forensics: Preserving volatile RAM for live artifact extraction.
Windows Forensic Artifacts
Reconstruct user interaction history, file activity, and external hardware connections with precise timeline tracking.
- LNK Files & Jump Lists: Tracking opened local/network files, path locations, and target metadata.
- Shellbags Analysis: Proving folder access, browsing habits, and deleted directory interaction.
- USB Forensics: Tracking removable storage devices via Registry keys (USBSTOR), setup logs, and device serial matching.
Execution & IOC Detection
Detect execution artifacts left by threat actors attempting program launch, persistence, or lateral movement.
- Prefetch Analysis: Extracting application run counts, execution timestamps, execution paths, and DLLs via PECmd.
- IOC Detection: Correlating endpoint artifacts to build actionable Indicators of Compromise and identify malware behaviors.
Executable & Binary Analysis
Inspect unknown binaries, malicious payloads, and packed executables without full reverse-engineering overhead.
- ExplorerSuite (C3D): Inspecting Portable Executable (PE) headers, import/export tables, and file structures.
- BinText & Strings: Extracting hidden ASCII, Unicode, and obfuscated string data from raw dumps.
- PEiD: Identifying signature patterns, compilers, packers, and obfuscators used by attackers.

Extract web navigation history, cloud activity, session files, and cached assets stored within database files.
- BrowsingHistoryView: Centralized timeline analysis across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox history datasets.
- Chrome Forensic Analysis: Deep parsing of web cache, cookies, search keywords, and session restore data.
- SQLite & Hindsight: Automated Chromium artifact extraction and custom database querying.
Windows Registry Forensics
Parse key system and user hives to uncover persistence mechanisms, user accounts, and system settings.
- Hive Analysis: Deep inspection of
SYSTEM,SOFTWARE,NTUSER.DAT, andUSRCLASS.DAT. - Persistence Mechanisms: Locating autorun keys, user account changes, and system modifications.
- SQLite Deep Dive: Direct SQL querying on custom application databases.
