CSI Linux - Forensics Challenge
A new cyber investigation platform has just been released this year called CSI Linux. This Virtual Machine appliance contains 3 different VM's that can work together or separately. To understand why they are Virtual Machines instead of stand alone bootable systems, it is best to visit the Tutorials link below and watch the second video or read the PDF called "A beginner's guide to downloading and getting started with CSI Linux Analyst". It was done with very specific needs in mind.
This environment is evolving and is designed to cover the Spectrum of cyber investigations, starting with OSINT to disk forensics to Malware Analysis to Threat Intel.
CSI Linux Forensic Challenge
"Using CSI Linux and the tools included, go through this forensic project and identify all the flags you can. Use Autopsy as your main application. Write a walk through on how you found each item within Autopsy and any other tools within your final report. The findings and final report will then be graded, with the best combo being the winner. Winner will have their report and walkthrough showcased in a future issue of the Cyber Intelligence Report (CIR) and win a commemorative Bitcoin challenge coin (Not a real Bitcoin).
Submit reports to [email protected]. Deadline is June 15th, 2020!..."

5 年During the CTF, if you find any bugs or have suggestions for improving CSI Linux, please let them know.? IT is a new distro and they are trying to make it as usable as possible.?? They are working on a GUI case management application that should be able to start a case and branch out for the main types of cyber investigations for a future release.? Again, the main goal is to make cyber investigations as streamlined as they can (even though each type has different paths/tools/etc).??
