Incident Response Safari: An expedition to build your own First Responder Toolkit

Abstract: The presentation will cover the lessons learned when preparing and planning for incident response. We will go over incident handling lifecycle management including different tools and techniques to detect, record, contain, and analyze cyber security incidents. The presenter will share a First Responder toolkit with cheatsheets, process flows, and open source tools to help those getting started with triaging, sniper forensics, and traditional forensics to preserve, document, collect, and even analyze digital artifacts and evidence. The presenter encourages audience participation and information sharing of related lessons learned, tools, and techniques for the benefit of all participants.
