Description: Host-based analysis involves examining data and artifacts from individual computers to investigate security incidents. This approach focuses on collecting and analyzing information directly from the affected device, allowing investigators to gain a detailed view of the activities that occurred on the system. Analyzed artifacts may include system logs, temporary files, browsing data, and other elements that can provide clues about user behavior and actions taken on the device. This type of analysis is crucial in incident response, as it helps identify the nature of the attack, the methods used by attackers, and the extent of the damage. Additionally, host-based analysis can be complemented with other techniques, such as network analysis, to provide a more comprehensive view of the incident. The ability to recover and analyze data from a single host allows digital forensics experts to reconstruct events and provide solid evidence in legal or security cases. In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, host-based analysis has become an essential tool for detecting and mitigating security incidents.
