RegRipper Educational Materials

A recent LinkedIn thread led to a question regarding RegRipper educational materials, as seen in figure 1; specifically, are there any.

Figure 1: LinkedIn request

There are two books that address the use of RegRipper; Windows Registry Forensics, and Investigating Windows Systems (see figure 2). Together, these books provide information about the Windows Registry, RegRipper, and the use of RegRipper as part of an investigation.

Demonstrating the use of RegRipper in an investigation is challenging, as RegRipper is only one tool I typically use during an investigation. Investigations do not rest on a single data source, nor on a single artifact. The challenge, then, is in demonstrating the use of RegRipper in an analysis process, such as any of the case studies in Investigating Windows Systems, that most folks are simply unfamiliar with; the value of the demo isn't diminished, it's completely lost if the overall process isn't understood.

The analysis process demonstrated multiple times in IWS is the same process I've used for years, well prior to the publication of the book. It's also the same process I use today, sometimes multiple times a day, as part of my role at Huntress. Any demonstration of RegRipper, or even Events Ripper, as part of the process would fall short, as most analysts do not already follow that same process. 

If you are interested in educational materials associated with RegRipper, I would be very much willing to learn a bit more about what you're looking for, and have a conversation pursuant to those needs. Feel free to reach to me on LinkedIn, or via email.
