Forensics in CTF: Analyzing Disk Images and Logs

Forensics challenges in CTFs often require participants to examine disk images, memory dumps, or log files to uncover clues or hidden flags. These challenges mimic real-world digital investigations, where competitors use tools like Autopsy, FTK Imager, or Volatility to extract critical information. Whether it’s recovering deleted files or analyzing network traffic logs, forensics challenges hone the ability to think like an investigator, piecing together evidence from raw data.
