DFIR and Slackware
by ul7 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5KWH7)
Hey everyone! I'm still here, but I've gone into lurk mode over the past year building up skills in the Linux world, amongst other things.:study:
If anyone remembers me, I started using Slackware as my very first Linux distro over a year ago. I must say after checking out other distros and just understanding at a high level what amazing flexibility the Linux kernel provides, I've gain some interesting views as a newbie venturing in this huge world.
Just wanted to share that I've been diving more into DFIR, and I've been building my home lab up over time. After many hours of pondering a Linux build (I use SIFT, Tsurugi and REMnux from the SANS courses and workshops I've taken), I debated on either doing an LFS build for learning, or use what's already available.
You can tell where this story ends, because I am going to be using Slackware as a baseline for a personal, long term project. I want to leverage the stability it already has, while adding additional tools for the purpose of DFIR/Info Sec.
I'm fully aware that any findings or issues during this process will be my journey and mine alone, and this is intentional. It's strictly for academic reasons, but if I come across anything interesting along the way, I'll be sure to share if it's appropriate!
Hope everyone has been well, and super excited to see 15 on the way! <3
Wanted to thank the ENTIRE Slackware community for jump starting my Linux knowledge.
I wouldn't do it any other way.
Once you Slack, you never go back.
