What are DFIR Bytes?
DFIR Bytes are digital forensics and incident response case simulations that provide a real-world investigative experience. Participants will work through guided case scenarios, using cutting-edge forensic tools and methodologies to analyze digital evidence, recover artifacts, and uncover hidden threats.
DFIR Bytes are NOT Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges, workshops, or competition sessions—they are fully immersive case-solving experiences that combine interactive problem-solving with instructor guidance. These case simulations take you step by step through real-world incidents, ensuring that both newcomers and experienced professionals learn, engage, and refine their investigative techniques.
Free to the Community & Open to All Experience Levels!
