Network forensics Incident Response: Mastery
RCCE students will learn network forensic capture and analysis including full packet capture, network flow analysis, protocol reconstruction, network-based artifact extraction, and network timeline construction. RCCE students will learn to deploy network capture infrastructure for forensic purposes, collect full packet captures and network flow data during incident investigations, reconstruct network sessions and extract transferred files, analyze DNS queries, HTTP transactions, and encrypted traffic metadata, detect data exfiltration patterns through network forensics, build network-based attack timelines, and produce network forensic reports that complement host-based investigation findings. This incident response course prepares students to act decisively during security incidents with structured workflows and clear decision frameworks. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn containment, evidence collection, eradication, and recovery procedures specific to this domain. Students practice incident scenarios that build the composure, coordination, and documentation skills essential for effective incident handling.
