7MS #340: Forensics 101 Reloaded and The CryptoLocker Music Video

7 Minute Security

Last week I had the fun privilege of speaking twice at the Minnesota Goverment IT Symposium on the following topics:

• Forensics 101: This was a "reloaded" talk that I started earlier this year (and covered in episode 299 and 300). At a high level, the talk covered:

  • Hunting malware with Sysinternals
  • Creating system images with FTKImager
  • Dumping memory with Volatility and ripping icky stuff out of memory images with their 1-2-3 punch article
  • Seeking out DNS tunneling/exfil using Security Onion

• Pecha Kucha: this talk, which is in a 20x20 format is part PSA about how to not click bad links, part cautionary tale (and music video!) about how the promise of a free burrito can ruin your business! Check out the video here, and special thanks to Joe Klein for providing the awesome pics to go along with the storyboard - you're a champ.

Also, check out the Digital Forensics Survival Podcast which is awesome for learning more about forensics and IR.
