CIFR: Cyber Incident – Forensic Response – Australia

WHEN             14 – 25 October 2024

Where            Level 12, Karstens, 123 Queen Street, Melbourne CBD, Australia

COST               $6,000 Australian Dollars

EQUIPMENT:  Classroom laptops will be given to the students to take home and keep.

CIFR uses a real network environment in the classroom to simulate a corporate network, integrating actual network and domain architecture into the instruction to increase realism. Students interact with Windows and Linux VMs running on a Xen hypervisor server in the class and are shown how their actions are presented at the local, domain and SIEM logging levels. The class has a large number of labs, based on a belief the student learns better by doing the task vs reading about the task in bullets on a slide presentation.

Instruction includes over 30 hands-on activities, including:

  • A full day on using Linux command line for log analysis
  • Multiple Wireshark pcap analysis exercises
  • Multiple malware dynamic and static analysis exercises (no RE malware analysis)
  • Local and network-based RAM capture
  • RAM analysis with Volatility3
  • Compromised Linux image analysis
  • Windows analysis with multiple tools
  • Velociraptor deployment and analysis
  • Remote analysis with Forensic Explorer
  • Network imaging using dd and ssh, and dd and netcat
  • Windows analysis with KAPE and Axiom

CTF exercises include:

  • Analyzing actual logs from a web server defacement incident
  • Using Wireshark to solve a cyber stalking incident
  • Analyzing logs from multiple systems to solve an ssh attack scenario

The class concludes with a ransomware attack on the classroom training environment, where the students witness the various steps in the attack process, then start analysis of their victim system once it has been encrypted during the attack.
