I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Digital Forensics and Incident Response - Third Edition goes beyond what I expected from an Incident response book by delving into topics like Threat Hunting and Threat Intelligence. All the software used in the book is listed at the beginning.It starts with Foundations of Incident Response and Digital Forensics - This section gives a good background on IR framework based off of NIST IR process. It also covers methodology and fundamentals of IR and IR teams.Evidence Acquisition and analysis are next and this section as implied covers collecting evidence from memory, network, hosts both locally and remotely. Unfortunately collection from cloud instances is not covered, but it may be beyond the scope of the book.Digital Forensics and Incident Response - Third Edition does a great job in detailing how to deal with ransomeware incidents and covers topics such as preparing your systems to be more resilient against ransomeware. The last section goes into threat hunting and I thought this was a great addition to the book. Threat hunting and intelligence is crucial for any network.
