Digital Forensics & Incident Response

Status: Planned
Standards: ISO/IEC 27037, NIST SP 800-86, SWGDE
Source: archer/dfir/ (not yet created)

The DFIR domain covers post-incident investigation — artifact collection, timeline reconstruction, malware triage, and evidence preservation. It enforces strict read-only discipline; no remediation actions are taken during a forensic session.

Planned Plays

Play Description
disk_forensics File system analysis, deleted file recovery, metadata extraction
memory_forensics Volatile memory acquisition and analysis (Volatility)
network_forensics PCAP analysis, session reconstruction, IOC extraction
log_analysis Timeline reconstruction from system, auth, and application logs
malware_triage Static and dynamic malware analysis — hashes, strings, behavior
evidence_preservation Chain-of-custody imaging, hash verification, write-blocking

Notes

DFIR is sequenced after threat hunting in the domain roadmap. It shares the minimal-footprint constraint with TH but adds evidence-preservation requirements that affect how the agent interacts with storage.
