What is Host-Based Forensics?

Host-Based Forensics involves the analysis of individual computer systems to identify and investigate security incidents, malware infections, or policy violations. It focuses on examining data residing on the host, such as event logs, file systems, memory dumps, and running processes, to reconstruct events and determine the root cause of an issue. Common uses include identifying compromised accounts, detecting unauthorized software installations, and gathering evidence for legal proceedings.
