Identify persistence mechanisms, anti-analysis, and C2 protocols; assess multi-platform malware (Windows, Linux, macOS, mobile, embedded/IoT).
Documentation, Briefing & Testimony Readiness
Produce thorough documentation of findings and conclusions; communicate clearly to non-expert audiences.
Successfully complete a mock examination and defend results in a practical courtroom exercise (Government-run).
