Learning Out Loud: A Weekly Dive into DFIR

Welcome to my blog — a space where digital forensics, incident response, and cloud security converge.

I'm launching this blog to document my growth as a cybersecurity professional. As someone passionate about Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR) and the cloud — particularly Amazon Web Services (AWS) — I've found that writing helps clarify what I learn and hopefully helps others along the way.

You can expect technical, practical, and focused posts that reflect real-world tools, investigations, and challenges.

This site serves two purposes:

• To create a personal knowledge base as I build experience.

• To give back to the community that’s helped me by sharing guides, research, and lessons learned.

My goal is to post at least once a week, with a focus on:

• Exploring and understanding different log sources (cloud and on-prem)

• Diving into forensic artifacts across Windows, Linux, and cloud systems

• Experimenting with and breaking down new DFIR tools and utilities

• Investigating emerging technologies relevant to security and incident response

• Hands-on research projects and lab setups to test techniques and concepts

  
  

Whether you're an analyst, an engineer, or just security-curious, I hope this blog provides value, makes you question how things work the way they do, or at least helps you Google one less thing.

Let’s bring clarity to digital chaos — one post at a time.

Thanks for visiting,
