In contrast to domains that require well-developed technical skills, the new Forensics domain so far has been more about detective work—to the point that a technical mindset can distract from the real solution! That makes it challenging to prepare for (but won't stop Paul from trying)! Paul offers his hot take on the measurable skills you can develop in preparation for Forensics, as well as sources of inspiration for thinking outside the box.

Hush1e
NCL introduced the Forensics domain in Fall 2020, and it was as much a surprise to the Player Ambassadors as it was to you! Fortunately, Hush1e has been conducting cyber forensics informally since the ’90s and can give us a tour of the open-source tool known as Autopsy, which is used professionally by forensic investigators and incident responders.

Taisa
Taisa played her first season of NCL entirely from a browser-only device and shares her top resources and tricks for competing in less-than-ideal circumstances. Even if you've got Kali running as a VM, low-tech and browser-based tools can be a great way to check your work, troubleshoot your process, or collaborate with teammates in the cloud.
Hush1e
NCL and Cyber Skyline shocked everyone with their announcement of a new Forensics category! Hush1e has been conducting cyber forensics informally since the '90s. She speculates on what we might expect to see this Fall 2020 season and shares some tools that could help. (Disclaimer: Just like you, we don't know for sure!)

Fred Stinchcombe
It's the post that NCL doesn't want you to read! (Or maybe, now that there's a Forensics domain, it does!) Fred gives his uncensored opinion as an educator on the merits and faults of the major competitions, shows you where to find lesser-known CTFs, and exposes the most evil challenge he's ever come across.
