DFIR Bytes: Uncovering the Mystery of the Discovered USB Stick

Kathryn encourages her students to be inquisitive and learn how to make the first step in finding answers to the unknowns. Her main goal is to give students a tool-set to allow them to be productive in the office. “I love teaching students the areas we currently understand, and paving the way for them to go away, pick up those research pieces and dig deeper into the lesser known aspects of the OS and applications. I am not one to be constrained by the live demo curse and love to break out into tools to show how things work in real life. I have always learned much more by doing than watching, and this is very much my teaching style too.” she says.
