Today we started Module 2 of Digital Forensics with HIVE Consult, focusing on browser forensics. As the lesson went deeper, many of the questions naturally shifted toward networking concepts.
Having recently refreshed my networking fundamentals, I was able to contribute to the discussion and help clarify a few things for my peers. I also shared the learning path I’ve laid out for myself, operating systems, networking basics, and hardware and file systems and asked my peers to consider a refresher course as well.
It was a good reminder that rebuilding strong foundations doesn’t just sharpen your own thinking. It also puts you in a position to support others along the way.
