Below is a list of tools I keep on my Post Incident Response disk.

What is an incident?

An incident can be classed as:

  • Viral outbreak on a machine.
  • Malware outbreak on a machine.
  • Forensic incident (in which case you'll likely need Trinity too).

Basically, anything that causes the workstation to act unexpectedly can be classed as an incident and it is important the rest of the network is not put at risk. As such, optical media is used to investigate as this is read only to the infected system.

Memory Stick Warning
Never plug a memory stick, or other writeable media, into a compromised device.
