Title of Book (VOTING PERIOD IS DONE! THANK YOU ALL)

Digital-Forensics-Discord-Server / TheHitchhikersGuidetoDFIRExperiencesFromBeginnersandExperts

The official repo for a project involving a crowdsourced DFIR book. The main purpose of this book is to give anyone interested an opportunity to write a chapter of a book to get their name out there, get a publication on their resume with an actual ISBN number, and ideally lower the bar for people to contribute something back to the DFIR Community. Want to write a chapter? Let me know and let's make it happen!

CrowdsourcedDFIRBook is not a great title :) Anyone have any ideas?

Spitballing ideas for book title, what about that old Sierra game, originally called Hero's Quest until trademarks made it change to Quest for Glory: So you want to be a Hero. The player is a recent graduate of the Famous Adventurer's Correspondence School and the adventurers handbook in it is called "So You Want To Be A Hero." Could call it "So You Want To Be An Incident Responder." Or we could come up with something even more nerdy/obscure. I find the more esoteric the better.

AndrewRathbun commented 2 years ago

I'm all for nerdy because, let's be real, we're all nerds. I would shy away from using Incident Responder though because that's not generalized enough to encompass topics that have been committed thus far. Mostly referring to the 2 (and counting) mobile chapters which frankly doesn't play much a role in Incident Response, in my experience.

I like the title Crowdsourced DFIR Book but it's a bit too....caveman, but I like the self-descriptive nature of the title. It would be awesome to think of a title that is self-apparent that the book is a patchwork collaborative effort, if that makes sense? If we never land on one that meets this criteria, it's fine, but if there's something out there that could check that box, I personally think that would be one worth considering.

mdawsonuk commented 2 years ago

I'd like a title that focuses it around collective experiences and knowledge... something along the vein of "tales from the DFIR trenches" I think works well...

The title is going to be the hardest part to get right by far

DFIR CO-OP: Practical knowledge by and for practitioners Getting there together: Practical DFIR knowledge for all DFIR Crowd Wisdom Volume 1 DFIR Anthology: Random bits

theAtropos4n6 commented 2 years ago

I will drop one too. Alexis suggested some good ones. What about: DFIR Insights: From the community, for the community

AndrewRathbun commented 2 years ago

I really like DFIR Insights: From the community, for the community. I think that's on to something. Just my thoughts so far. Keep spitballing, all!

ApexPredator-InfoSec commented 2 years ago

I was thinking earlier today along the lines of the "tales from the DFIR trenches" theme as well. maybe something like: Adventures in DFIR: A Crowdsourced eBook Tales From the DFIR Bonfire The Hitchhikers Guide to DFIR: Experiences From Beginners and Experts

Ooh I like the bonfire one too. The Discord Server is pretty much like a water cooler/bonfire so that fits the source of where we gathered initially to collaborate on this.

AndrewRathbun commented 2 years ago

I also think we can have a subtitle or description on the cover page, so keep that in mind.

I am loving this book idea, guys! 😁

To throw one into the mix, how about, "DFIR Community Book of Knowledge: Volume 1"

In many industries you have the formally recognised "Book of Knowledge" (For example, I remember studying the DMBOK during my MSc, which is the "Data Management Book of Knowledge", and most other industries have them. This could be the "community" equivalent? (if you see what I mean) 😃

I like this too. Sounds official, leaves it open for a sequel, is self descriptive, etc. I think this is a top candidate. Thanks for the suggestion Phil!

dwmetz commented 2 years ago

D B O K (DFIR Book of Knowledge) or DFIRBOK?

ApexPredator-InfoSec commented 2 years ago

I think DFIRBOK would work better than DBOK. DFIRBOK also sounds like some type of ultra mega chicken that we must slay or tame before continuing our DFIR quest so that's cool.

Whee30 commented 2 years ago

how about the answer for every digital forensics question out there? "It depends... a DFIR collaboration"

happy to be along for the ride and help where I can

How about, DFIR for the Masses, from the Masses?

digitalsleuth commented 2 years ago

I'll throw in a couple here: Crowd Sourced: An OSINT approach to Digital Forensics (OSINT being our collective Open-Sourced intelligence ;) or Crowd Sourced: An Open Source approach to Digital Forensics

This one sounds great amongst all the other wonderful titles!

Br3W7h1S commented 2 years ago

D B O K (DFIR Book of Knowledge) or DFIRBOK?

I think DCBOK (DFIR Community Book of Knowledge) as BoKs are typically officially licensed texts, whereas this would differentiate it as a community edition, while still following a similar format :)

nisargsuthar commented 2 years ago

Some ideas for the title;

Sleuth Wisdom 101 Learner's guide to DFIR Baby steps to DFIR Marshalled Pieces by Forensicators How-to CyberForensics Defenders Unite: Crowdsourced DFIR Tales DFIR for dummies ~~We beg to DFIR~~

To protect the integrity of the voting process, a gmail account is required at the time of voting. Let me know if I've missed any suggestions. Let's get this one under way and then in a few weeks we can do a final vote for the top 3. Thoughts on that process?

stark4n6 commented 2 years ago

@AndrewRathbun the form is radio buttons and not check boxes so you can only choose one entry at this point.

After 6/10, I'll be making a poll for the top 3 so we can have another vote on the top candidates. Probably give that one a week or two and maybe market it a bit more.

AndrewRathbun commented 2 years ago

Alright, ending the vote right now. Here's the final results:

I noticed 5 of them had 10+ votes, so I decided to let those with 10+ votes be on the final ballot. Therefore, we have 5 winners moving on to the next and final round of voting. We'll cut off voting in a couple weeks and move forward with the winning title!

https://forms.gle/H6LpnfvRsov8bSr7A is the link to the new ballot. Thanks to all who participated and hopefully we get even more votes for this final round.

AndrewRathbun commented 2 years ago

3 more days!
