This learning path focuses on the advanced discipline of timeline analysis and artifact correlation in Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR). You will learn how to extract, normalize, and merge disparate data sources—such as OS logs, network traffic, cloud audit logs, and mobile artifacts—into a single, chronological master timeline. By mastering these techniques, you will be able to uncover hidden attack chains, correlate attacker actions across multiple systems, and build legally defensible, narrative-driven incident reports that stand up to rigorous scrutiny.
