Cloud Incident Response & Forensics: Introductory Lab

This lab is the first in a series of three labs where you will be performing forensic analysis in a cloud environment that has fallen victim to an attack. Each lab in the series is in increasing level of difficulty:

1. Cloud Incident Response & Forensics: Introductory Lab
2. Cloud Incident Response & Forensics: Foundation Lab
3. Cloud Incident Response & Forensics: Intermediate Lab

In this first lab, you will conduct an analysis on how the attacker gained access to the system. You will use and improve research skills to carry out some preliminary investigations. The lab will also require you to perform log analysis which will introduce you to this forensic technique and how it is performed within a container.
