DFSP # 285 - Linux Malware Triage

Digital Forensic Survival Podcast

This week I wanted to take a break from Windows forensics and talk about Linux malware triage. The Linux platform offers forensic analysts the opportunity to do a very decent job performing malware triage. What I mean by this is that you do not need any special tools installed, all you essentially need is the knowledge of a handful of commands in the ability to make sense of the output. Armed with this, any analyst can do a malware triage quickly and efficiently.
