What it does

Digital Forensics is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Authorized digital forensics: memory dumps, disk timelines, PCAP investigation, artifact triage, and incident-response evidence preservation.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/forensics-triage.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Digital forensics and Incident response. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Digital forensics
  • Tasks that involve Incident response

Example prompts

  • “/digital-forensics”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. 保全
  2. 内存
  3. 主机伪影
  4. 网络

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Digital Forensics loads about 495 tokens when it runs, and up to ~564 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 106 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~495
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~564

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Digital Forensics & IR Artifacts

When to Use

  • Investigating a suspected incident with forensic rigor.
  • Building defensible timelines from disk/memory/network artifacts.

适用场景

  • 内存转储分析(Volatility 2/3)
  • 磁盘/ E01 / 落地文件时间线
  • PCAP 溯源与协议还原(可联合 protocol-reverse/)
  • 主机伪影:Prefetch、Shimcache、Event Log、浏览器历史
  • 应急响应 IOC 提炼(联合 malware-analysis/ / threat-hunting/)

工作流

1. 保全
text
□ 计算 SHA256;记录时区与采集命令
□ 工作在副本上;原始只读
□ chain of custody 备注写入 timeline
2. 内存
bash
vol -f mem.dmp windows.info
vol -f mem.dmp windows.pslist
vol -f mem.dmp windows.netscan
vol -f mem.dmp windows.cmdline
3. 主机伪影
text
□ 事件日志:Security / PowerShell / Sysmon
□ 持久化:Run 键、服务、计划任务、WMI
□ 执行痕迹:Amcache、Prefetch、BAM
4. 网络
text
□ tshark 统计会话与 DNS
□ 导出可疑流 → protocol-reverse 或 malware C2 分析

工具链

工具用途
Volatility 3内存
Timeline Explorer / Plaso超级时间线
tsharkPCAP
Eric Zimmerman 工具集Windows 伪影
Autopsy / FTK Imager磁盘

参考

  • references/forensics-triage.md
  • ../malware-analysis/ ../threat-hunting/ ../protocol-reverse/

路由上下文

上游: MASTER R25
下游: 恶意样本深挖 → malware-analysis;规则 → threat-hunting

任务完成自检

  • 是否保全哈希与副本策略?
  • 时间线是否可复核?
  • IOC 是否脱敏分级?
  • Checklist?

Limitations

  • Chain-of-custody requirements apply; work on verified copies, never originals.
  • Encrypted or anti-forensic artifacts may be unrecoverable.
