Cyber security forensics, or digital forensics, is a crucial field within cyber security, focusing on the identification, preservation, analysis, and presentation of digital evidence. With the advent of pragmatically-applied AI and tools like ChatGPT, embarking on this journey has become more accessible if not demanding than ever.

Introduction

This article delves into how AI and ChatGPT [1] can facilitate your learning in cyber security forensics, the importance of understanding foundational concepts, and the benefits of leveraging modern resources for continuous upskilling.

As Figure 1 states below:

"The right tool for the right job" is an adage that means using the right tool for a task can make it easier to complete and can improve the quality of the work. Using the wrong tool can be dangerous, frustrating, or ineffective. 

For example, a hammer can be used to make a hole, but a drill is better for precise holes. Using a tool that's not designed for a particular job can also damage the tool itself. 

- Google, Generative AI is experimental.

ChatGPT is a modern meta-tool, which is perfect for cyber security forensics. The other tool is you, the human with a mind and a curiosity and passion to drive it. With both of these tools your understanding can become near limitless!
