This book presents a practical approach to incident response with Kali Linux, covering preparation, detection, triage, containment, eradication, and recovery. The content integrates the analysis of endpoints, identities, networks, applications, cloud environments, containers, Kubernetes, SaaS, and CI/CD pipelines.
The book explores tools such as TShark, tcpdump, Nmap, YARA, osquery, OpenSSL, Bash, Python, and PowerShell, as well as resources for AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Okta. It also addresses ransomware, exfiltration, Business Email Compromise, insider threat, zero-day vulnerabilities, credential exposure, and the software supply chain.
You will learn to: • Prepare a Kali Linux workstation for Incident Response • Correlate data from SIEM, EDR, NDR, and cloud environments • Delimit the blast radius and preserve evidence • Contain endpoints, accounts, sessions, and workloads • Respond to ransomware, exfiltration, and cloud compromises • Validate backups, clean rooms, and a secure return to production
By the end, you will be able to conduct Incident Response operations with method, traceability, and technical validation across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-native environments.
