This channel will have a variety of tech topics that I find interesting including travel tech gear, networking, virtualization, Digital Forensics, Incident Response, Linux, etc. My personal interest is on Digital Forensics and Incident Response using free and Open Source tools but the general information along the way would be useful to anyone interested in getting started in Linux, System Administration, Digital Forensics, or Incidence Response. We will be using Linux tools to perform forensics on Windows machines, Macs, Linux, Android phones, iOS devices, etc. We will also be using Windows tools to perform forensics as that's the majority of the market so I cant ignore that. If you are a LEO (not the zodiac sign; you know who you are), feel free to reach out to me if there is anything I can help you with. #DFIR #cybersecurity #linux #digitalforensics #incidentresponse
