Digital Forensics with Kali Linux

Red, Blue, and Purple Teaming Fundamentals

Welcome to the third edition of Digital Forensics with Kali Linux, and for those of you who may have purchased the previous editions, welcome back. I’d also like to sincerely thank you for once again choosing this exciting title. As with the second edition, this third edition has been updated with new tools, easy-to-follow labs, and a couple of new chapters. We have an exciting journey ahead of us, and I’m pleased to announce the inclusion of some major additions, including the installation of Wine, which will allow us to run Windows tools within Kali Linux and will be covered in its entirety in Chapter 5, Installing Wine in Kali Linux. Chapter 10, Memory Forensics and Analysis with Volatility 3, is also brand-new and shows how to perform RAM artifact analysis on newer operating systems. Another new chapter on using the Autopsy v4 Graphical User Interface (GUI) to perform full Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) analysis and investigations can be found in Chapter 13, Performing a Full DFIR Analysis with the Autopsy 4 GUI.

Besides these major additions, we will also look at some new topics, such as creating a portable Kali Linux box using Raspberry Pi 4 and learning about tools such as DD-rescue, scrounge-ntfs, Magic Rescue, PDF-Parser, Timeliner, netdiscover, and introduce Shodan.io and apackets.com for Internet of Things (IoT) discovery and packet analysis.

For this book, we take a very structured approach to digital forensics, as we would in forensic science. First, we will stroll into the world of digital forensics, its history, and some of the tools and operating systems used for forensics, and we will immediately introduce you to the concepts involved in evidence preservation.

With that said, we have a lot to cover and will start by learning about Kali and the various cybersecurity teams and the differences between red, blue, and purple teaming. For our returning and advanced readers who may have prior knowledge of Kali Linux and the respective teams, feel free to skim through the first two chapters and get straight into the practical aspects in Chapter 3, Installing Kali Linux, Chapter 4, Additional Kali Installations and Post-Installation Tasks, and Chapter 5, Installing Wine in Kali Linux, which detail the installations of Kali and Wine.

In this chapter we will cover the following key topics:

  • What is Kali Linux?
  • Understanding red teaming
  • Understanding blue teaming
  • Understanding purple teaming

Before we get started with these topics, the following is a sneak peek at how I got into the world of Kali Linux, as I feel some of you will be able to relate to my story!

As a Digital Forensics professional for 5 years, and in cybersecurity for 9, this book explains the differences between Red, Blue, and Purple Teams. Did a great job covering the versatility of Kali Linux. Also, presented some excellent tools that are not only open source but can be used to get started in the field. The book goes in-depth just enough to provide understanding but not enough to overwhelm the reader with information. Great information.

For those new to digital forensics or Linux, this book will be extremely useful from front to back without being overwhelming or difficult to understand. Everything is covered from the most basic topics such as identifying storage devices, to acquiring data from the target/evidentiary media and performing simple data recovery and analysis.For those who are already professional level forensic examiners… if Kali isn’t part of your toolbox yet, this is a good way to add it. The latter chapters even cover several subjects often left out of other forensic books such as malware, ransomware, identifying devices on a network, and network traffic/packet analysis.

I enjoyed this book and found it to be a great resource. It covers a vast array of many digital forensic tools and approaches that are standards in the industry. The best aspect of this book compared to other similar books is the way the topics are outlined, introduced, and are presented in a logical order. This really makes each chapter make sense and build successfully off one another.
