The cybersecurity community understands as cyber forensics the procedures and methodological techniques to identify, collect, preserve, extract, interpret, document and present the evidence of an investigation on a computer system, so that these reports can demonstrate or rule out malicious activity on the affected systems. Specialists say that this research plays a fundamental role in […]
The PDF format has become one of the most popular ways to view files, as this format is compatible with all kinds of technological devices, including desktop computers, laptops, electronic tablets and smartphones. Because of this universal presence, threat actors began using these documents to deliver malware and easily deploy other attack variants. This time, […]
Digital forensics is one of the most important elements of ethical hacking, as it allows researchers to learn as much as possible about a network affected by cybercriminals. This requires tools capable of performing various specific tasks, including the analysis of network packets. On this occasion, experts from the International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS) […]
System logs analysis is one of the most useful hacking tasks for researchers and specialists in digital forensics and reverse engineering, so a tool that facilitates this process can be fundamental in an investigation.

In most cyberattack variants threat actors use legitimate-looking documents loaded with malware, which is why researchers often say it all starts with a Word file, Power Point presentation, Excel spreadsheet, or even a book downloaded from a free PDF file website. This time, digital forensics experts from the International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS) will […]
The information stored on a computer does not always end up on permanent storage drives (hard drives, solid-state drives, removable storage, among others), but is also stored in RAM, as mentioned by secure data destruction experts from the International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS). However, it should be noted that the information available in RAM […]

According to website security audit specialists, Eurofins, the leading provider firm of forensic analysis had to pay a ransom after a group of malicious hackers attacked them, which in fact paralyzed all its operations. The British firm, which hoards nearly half of this market in Europe, was the victim of a “highly sophisticated ransomware attack” […]
Sometimes known as computer forensics, data forensics refers to the process of investigating digital data or programs in order to find out how it was created and what it is for. Having said that, data forensics itself is a very broad term, since it covers everything from identifying, preserving, recovering, analyzing, and presenting digital data. […]
Computer Forensics tools are more often used by security industries to test the vulnerabilities in network and applications by collecting the evidence to find an indicator of compromise and take an appropriate mitigation Steps. Here you can find the Comprehensive Computer Forensics tools list that covers Performing Forensics analysis and respond to the incidents in all […]
Born from an idea of Stefano Fratepietro, DEFT (acronym for Digital Evidence & Forensics Toolkit) is a distribution made for Digital Forensics and Incident Response, with the purpose of running live on systems without tampering or corrupting devices (hard disks, pendrives, etc…) connected to the PC/Mac where the boot process takes place. The DEFT system […]
