Course Overview

Master the advanced cross-platform techniques engineered to execute deep system audits, trace volatile remnants, and uncover operational anomalies across enterprise Windows and Linux environments.

### COURSE OVERVIEW
Corporate networks operate on highly heterogeneous infrastructure models where endpoints and production servers utilize diverse operating platform designs. This specialized module combines the deep internal mechanics of both desktop ecosystems, shifting focus from typical software configurations to manual low-level system auditing. You will learn to extract raw system logs, map hidden user interaction trails, and analyze volatile memory arrays under direct expert monitoring.

### WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
* Dissect Windows registry system hives manually to track user deployment configurations and execution parameters.
* Parse hidden activity evidence tracks utilizing advanced Shimcache matrices, Prefetch files, and Shellbags folder exploration logs.
* Audit Linux filesystem node architectures across EXT4/XFS storage parameters and image maps.
* Track security incident indicators leveraging local Journalctl registries and authentication logs (`auth.log`).
* Capture live volatile memory blocks (RAM Dumps) across both desktop ecosystems within isolated parameters.
* Script automated parsing utilities to filter multi-tier system logs records without processing overheads.

### COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
* Operational familiarity with terminal command lines (Basic cmd operations or basic Linux terminal exposure).
* Staging workspace running a minimum of 8GB RAM with local virtualization drivers configured properly.

### WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR:
* Cyber Defense Administrators needing cross-platform operational skills to isolate system data breach tracks.
