DFIR Related Events for Beginners – September, 2020

I created a poll on Twitter and LinkedIn asking if I should keep this monthly blog post at events costing under $50 or a different price point. The majority voted for listing all events regardless of price. Since so many people also voted to keep it the way it was, I also tried to find a solution that allows you to filter the events.

All events listed are virtual.

  • Type “free” in the search box to only show free events.
  • Type “under” in the search box to show events under $50.
  • Be sure to hit the “Load More Events” button until you see “No More Events”.
  • If I missed something when I originally posted this, I’ll add it, so check back or subscribe for updates.

The ongoing Blue Team CTFs and challenges have been moved to the Free Training page.

Ongoing Events & Training are at the bottom of this page.
