- An extremely simple, easy-to-understand guide to forensics (specifically for Capture-The-Flag challenges), based on my experience, so that you can kind of read it like a book and understand most of the concepts (or at least i aim to make it that way)
- I made this so as to provide a more comprehensive guide to approaching challenges, plus I am trying to learn Markdown and I want to do something productive
- This guide will take information from many sources just so I can create a guide for just about everything in that section
- This is largely inspired by my friend Ryan who has own notes at https://github.com/Milo-sipper/forensics-101 but is incomplete, so I want to finish what he couldn't
- What is forensics? How do I start preparing for CTF-styled forensics challenges?
- Basics and bare essentials to start
- Image analysis
- File formats - What challenge is this? What tools should I use?
- Zip archives
- Volatility
- Wireshark
- Audio analysis
- Steganography ('Advanced' Image analysis)
- Disk imagery
If there's anything I can change about the notes, pls email me at ingocodingbecauseyes@gmail.com
As of 15/1/26, I am happy to say it should be completed, I should have probably changed this message a long time ago...
