Simulate a ransomware incident from initial alert through full remediation. Use SIFT Workstation for evidence collection, Volatility for memory analysis, and the AI Analyst to orchestrate the entire IR playbook and write the final report.
03:47 AM — your EDR fires a P1 alert: ransomware encryption process detected on FINANCE-WS-01. The endpoint was isolated automatically, but you need to determine: How did it get in? What did it touch? Is there C2 still active? What data was exfiltrated before isolation?
A memory dump and disk image from the compromised workstation are available in your SIFT VM. The IR clock is running.
Paste your pslist and netscan output. The AI will immediately flag suspicious processes (unusual parents, random names, wrong paths) and active C2 connections.
Share your Run key output, network connections, and command line history. The AI will identify persistence mechanisms, map to ATT&CK, and suggest immediate containment actions.
Share your timeline data, browser history, and MFT entries. The AI will reconstruct the attack timeline from initial access through ransomware execution, and identify which technique (phishing, exploit, RDP brute force) was used.
Share all your findings: attacker entry point, persistence mechanisms, C2 infrastructure, affected systems, and hashes. The AI will generate a prioritized containment and eradication playbook with specific commands.
Share all hashes, IPs, domains, registry keys, and file paths found. The AI will structure them as a STIX 2.1 bundle ready for sharing with ISACs and deploying to your SIEM.
List all attacker behaviors observed. The AI will map each to ATT&CK technique IDs, identify which tactics were used (Initial Access through Impact), and suggest detection opportunities for each technique.
Provide: incident date/time, affected systems, attack timeline, attacker TTPs, business impact, and remediation steps taken. The AI will write a professional incident report with executive summary, technical analysis, and recommendations.
Describe how the attacker got in and what detection gaps existed. The AI will suggest specific security controls (technical and procedural) that would have prevented or detected this incident sooner.
