SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Preparing for the OffSec IR-200 (OSIR) certification requires mastering the full incident response lifecycle, Splunk SPL detection queries, disk and memory forensics, and structured post-mortem reporting, and this Skill consolidates all of that guidance in one place. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Splunk SIEM Detection Queries: Ready-to-use SPL queries for brute force, lateral movement, persistence, Kerberoasting, and C2 detection across Windows Event Logs and Sysmon. - Digital Forensics Workflows: Step-by-step Autopsy disk analysis and Volatility 3 memory analysis commands, including malfind, psscan, and netscan usage. - Exam Strategy & Reporting: 8-hour time management plan, scoring breakdown (50/70 to pass), report templates, chain of custody tables, and regulatory notification checklists (GDPR, HIPAA, SEC). - Use Case: During an OSIR practice lab, ask for the SPL query to detect pass-the-hash activity, then get the Volatility 3 commands to confirm process injection on the compromised host. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to walk you through investigating a suspected ransomware incident using Splunk logs and a memory dump following the OSIR exam methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions about offsec-ir-200

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect brute force attacks with Splunk SPL queries?▼

Use EventCode 4625 from WinEventLog:Security and aggregate failures per source IP with stats. Filter with a threshold like FailedCount > 20 and count distinct targeted accounts to identify brute force patterns.

How to analyze a memory dump with Volatility 3?▼

Start with windows.info to identify the system, then run windows.pslist and windows.psscan to compare for hidden processes. Use windows.malfind to detect injected code and windows.netscan to find C2 connections from suspicious PIDs.

What is the difference between Volatility 2 and Volatility 3?▼

Volatility 3 does not require a profile parameter; windows.info handles identification automatically. Plugin names also changed, using namespaced commands like windows.pslist instead of the plain pslist from Volatility 2.

What score is needed to pass the OSIR exam?▼

The OSIR exam has 70 total points across two phases, and passing requires 50 points. You can pass with 4 of 4 Phase 1 Splunk exercises plus 1 of 2 Phase 2 forensics exercises, or 3 of 4 Phase 1 plus both Phase 2 exercises.

How do I write a YARA rule for malware detection?▼

Define meta information, string patterns such as suspicious commands or C2 indicators, and a condition specifying how many strings must match. Test the rule with yara -s against samples before submitting, since overly broad rules produce false positives.

What are the limitations of Splunk queries in the OSIR exam environment?▼

Field names and data models may differ from practice labs, so verify fields with a raw search first. Sysmon EventCode 22 for DNS may be unavailable depending on the environment's Sysmon configuration, and incorrect time ranges can cause inaccurate results.
