# Forensics Data Collector

## Overview

This skill provides automated assistance for forensics data collector tasks within the Security Advanced domain.

## When to Use

This skill activates automatically when you:
- Mention "forensics data collector" in your request
- Ask about forensics data collector patterns or best practices
- Need help with advanced security skills covering penetration testing, compliance frameworks, threat modeling, and enterprise security.

## Instructions

1. Provides step-by-step guidance for forensics data collector
2. Follows industry best practices and patterns
3. Generates production-ready code and configurations
4. Validates outputs against common standards

## Examples

**Example: Basic Usage**
Request: "Help me with forensics data collector"
Result: Provides step-by-step guidance and generates appropriate configurations

Overview

This skill automates forensics data collector tasks within the Security Advanced domain. It provides step-by-step guidance, generates production-ready configurations and code, and validates outputs against common standards. Use it to streamline forensic evidence collection workflows and reduce manual errors.

How this skill works

The skill inspects requests that mention forensics data collector-related phrases and activates appropriate guidance and templates. It generates collection configurations, scripts, and validation checks aligned with industry best practices and common compliance requirements. It also gives troubleshooting advice and error explanations when validations fail.

When to use it

  • You need step-by-step guidance for setting up or running a forensics data collector
  • You want production-ready configuration files or collection scripts for evidence acquisition
  • You are validating forensic outputs against standards or compliance frameworks
  • You encounter collection errors like missing tools, invalid config, or permission issues
  • You need to integrate collector workflows into automated incident response pipelines

Best practices

  • Capture metadata and hashes for all collected artifacts to preserve chain of custody
  • Use minimal-impact collection techniques and document every action taken
  • Validate configurations and test collectors in a staging environment before production
  • Automate logging and secure transport of collected data to a hardened repository
  • Maintain clear access controls and rotate credentials used by collection tools

Example use cases

  • Generate a collector configuration for disk and memory acquisition with hashing enabled
  • Create an automated script that runs after an incident to gather logs, timeline data, and artifacts
  • Validate an existing collection pipeline and produce remediation steps for failing checks
  • Draft a secure transfer and storage policy for collected forensic evidence
  • Troubleshoot permission denied errors during remote evidence acquisition

FAQ

What prerequisites are required before using this skill?

Ensure your development environment and forensic tools are installed, you have required access and credentials, and you understand basic advanced security concepts.

How does the skill handle invalid configurations?

It identifies missing required fields and common misconfigurations, explains the root cause, and suggests concrete fixes or template corrections.
