ArcPoint Newsletter, September 2021
DF Industry Happenings
This month, ArcPoint is highlighting the SANS Institute, which has an absolute wealth of training and learning resources for anyone interested in digital forensics and cybersecurity.
For Professionals. ArcPoint is looking forward to the 2nd Annual, SANS Cyber Solutions Fest October 21-22, 2021. This event explores "Cybersecurity Solutions for Today’s Challenges" by connecting cybersecurity professionals of all levels with the latest solutions, tools, and techniques. Participants can choose from four "levels" to focus on their specific areas of interest: Threat Hunting & Intel, SOC & SOAR, Cloud Security, and MITRE ATT&ACK®. ArcPoint can’t wait to see what is currently out there and coming available, and get even more ideas for how our solutions can support mission-critical cybersecurity workflows.
For Novices. "How do I get started in DFIR, and where do I get experience?" ArcPoint leaders often get this question from students and individuals looking for a career change. Here are two examples of SANS resources we love to refer newcomers to when they want to learn about what we do and why we are so passionate about it!
SANS Webcast: Getting Started in DFIR: Testing 1,2,3
This Webcast, featuring Phil Moore, SANS Instructor and Course Author, does a fantastic job explaining how individuals can dive into our industry and find resources to learn about uncovering key digital forensic artifacts to help expand and grow their skills.
SANS Webcast: DFIR 101: Digital Forensics Essentials
We really enjoyed this webcast by Kathryn Hedley, Associate Instructor, SANS Institute. Not only did she give a great overview of digital evidence, investigations, and forensics, she discussed the specific high-profile case of how metadata recovered from computer document files led law enforcement to the evidence they needed to break the case and arrest the infamous serial killer known as the "BTK Killer".

Monthly Tech Tip
Need to share/trace shell command history across multiple terminal sessions? There is a simple way to do so in zsh. Simply add the following lines to the .zshrc file in your home directory:
######## History configuration ########
HISTFILE=~/.zsh_history
# Command history will be saved to this file on diskSAVEHIST=10000
# Limit the number of entries to save to the history filesetopt sharehistory
# Share command history across terminal sessionssetopt appendhistory
# Append command to the history filesetopt incappendhistory
# Append command to the history file immediately upon its execution
