Today, I took on my first real digital forensics case study, the NIST “Mr. Evil” hacking case. A 2004 abandoned laptop… a homemade Wi-Fi antenna… and a suspected hacker. My task is to find out if the owner was really a hacker. Follow me 😁💚... @_Rega_n @RedHatPentester

Digital forensics is not magic, it’s patience, method, and knowing where evidence hides. And honestly… the investigator mindset is starting to set in. Every command… every plugin… every inode tells a story. I'm built for this! 💚🖤 @_Rega_n @akintunero @RedHatPentester

Then came the install date. I explored multiple registry plugins, extracted them all, searched through with Leafpad, and located the exact timestamp. Finally, I traced the computer account name, confirming who the system belonged to. 💚🕵‍♂️ @_Rega_n @elormkdaniel

Next step: What OS was on the system? Using mmls, fls, and icat, I dug through the NTFS structure until I found the SOFTWARE hive. Parsed it with RegRipper, and boom: OS version + registered owner revealed. 💪😁🕵‍♂️💚 @_Rega_n @RedHatPentester @elormkdaniel

I started by acquiring the forensic images, merging them, and verifying the hashes. No assumptions, just evidence. Every hash matched perfectly. Chain of custody intact, and the case begins... 🕵‍♂️💚 @_Rega_n @akintunero @RedHatPentester @Ahmed___khaan @Gracesharonsol

DNS spoofing this week... and wow. 😬🔥 I watched forged DNS replies reroute client traffic in real time. ARP fools the LAN; DNS fools the world if you let it. Stay curious. Verify everything. 🔍💚 @_Rega_n @akintunero @RedHatPentester

A single “deleted” log file just exposed a billion-dollar fraud case. @INTERPOL_HQ + @Europol did it again. This is why #ComputerForensics matters, truth now lives in code. And at @_zedcyber, we help the world find it. https://t.co/yMEdPI0aS4 @_Rega_n @akintunero #DigitalDNA

November 1: SAA-C03 ✅️

Cyber threats don’t take a break once the campaign ends, and neither should we. So as we move beyond Awareness Month, let’s keep the habits alive. Stay aware. Stay safe. Stay vigilant. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth @_Rega_n @akintunero @RedHatPentester

I worked on ARP spoofing and MITM attacks. It is interesting how a small trick in your network’s ARP table can redirect traffic without anyone noticing. I simulated the attack and watched how a system can be deceived into trusting the wrong device. @_Rega_n @akintunero

🇯🇵 A cyberattack recently shut down Japan’s Asahi Breweries, halting production and shaking trust. Innovation without cybersecurity is exposure. As Japan strengthens its defenses, the world must learn. https://t.co/gockrrzhtx #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth @_Rega_n @akintunero

🇮🇳 A Mumbai businessman fell for a digital arrest scam. He thought it was a routine call. Minutes later, ₹58 crore was gone. In India’s digital age, awareness isn’t optional. It’s survival. https://t.co/xC1Q4rInWZ #IndiaTech #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth @_Rega_n @akintunero

They say “check your mail,” but I check the SMTP logs. 😏 Port 25. 587. 465. Wherever the truth hides, Wireshark finds it. Forensics or Nothing! 💚🖤 1% better daily 🏆 @_Rega_n @akintunero @RedHatPentester @Ahmed___khaan

I spent the week chasing packets, HTTP, payloads, and even simulated a Teardrop attack. System crashed. Turns out, history repeats itself... even in traffic. Me: “It’s forensics, not feelings.” 😂 💚🖤 @_Rega_n @akintunero @RedHatPentester

Wrapped up my Forensic Report study, from activity logs to case conclusions. Every trace tells a story, and every story builds clarity. Next up: Network Forensics 🔍 HTTPS, SMTP, ARP & firewalls, we move. 1% better daily. ⚡️💚 @_Rega_n @RedHatPentester @akintunero

It’s almost the end of the year. Before you push your tech goals to next year, remember there’s still time to grow. Enroll at the Academy and build real skills this last quarter. We are back in session.🤝 Join us: https://t.co/90jRdTiejw

Every time I dive deeper into a DF report, I’m reminded, it’s not just about finding evidence, it’s about making it count in court. Write blockers and forensic workstations aren’t a luxury, they’re the backbone of admissible evidence and solid wins. @_Rega_n @RedHatPentester

In DF, every file has a story. But the real secrets? They hide in metadata, timestamps, and the inode. Hunting traces attackers can’t fully erase. 👇 And since it’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, remember: awareness is your first defense. @akintunero @_Rega_n @RedHatPentester

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria! 🇳🇬 October also kicks off #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth No better moment to say hello, this is ZEDCyber on Instagram 💚🖤 https://t.co/l4rLJwn9pU Here to make security global, simple & impactful. Let’s build a safer tomorrow. @_Rega_n @akintunero
