Memory forensics Hardening Workshop: Fast Track

📊 Level: Beginner
⏱️ Duration: 2 Days
🏷️ Track: DFIR
📋 Prerequisites: None
🖥️ Mode: Online Instructor-Led
📝 Course Description

RCCE students will learn volatile memory acquisition and analysis including RAM capture techniques, process enumeration, network connection analysis, code injection detection, rootkit discovery, and malware artifact extraction from memory. RCCE students will learn to use memory forensics tools to acquire memory images from live systems, analyze process trees for suspicious parent-child relationships, detect hidden and injected processes, extract encryption keys and credentials from memory, identify command and control communications, reconstruct attacker activity from memory artifacts, and integrate memory forensics findings into broader incident investigation timelines. This hands-on hardening course focuses on reducing attack surface through practical configuration changes and security guardrails. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn to apply hardening baselines, validate configurations, and measure the security improvement achieved. Students walk away with actionable hardening checklists and the skills to maintain hardened configurations as environments evolve.
