So, you know that feeling when the server starts acting possessed—it’s midnight, the logs are growing faster than your coffee intake, and your SIEM is trying to serenade you with a symphony of alerts? Yeah, incident forensics time!
I’m curious: what’s the weirdest thing you folks have found while poking around in the aftermath of an “incident”? Unexplainable scheduled tasks? A cryptominer dressed as Notepad? Someone’s secret collection of cat videos hidden three directories deep?
And is there a less soul-draining way to sift through mountains of Windows event logs, or are we all just destined for carpal tunnel and caffeine-induced existential dread? Share your wildest forensics tales, tips, or just vent about that time you spent six hours tracing a breach, only to find out it was a sysadmin running a “test.”
Teach me your arcane rituals. Or at least tell me I’m not alone in this digital dumpster fire.
