About DFIR.Training
DFIR.Training is a free digital forensics and incident response resource directory built to help practitioners find useful training, tools, events, research, references, and other DFIR resources faster.
Online since 2016, DFIR.Training serves digital forensic investigators, forensic examiners, incident responders, cybersecurity professionals, OSINT practitioners, eDiscovery professionals, students, educators, researchers, and organizations around the world.
A Central Resource for the DFIR Community
Digital-forensics information is spread across vendor websites, training providers, conference sites, software repositories, universities, research organizations, practitioner blogs, and countless other sources.
DFIR.Training brings much of that information together in one place so investigators, examiners, analysts, students, educators, and teams can spend less time searching and more time using the resources they find.
- Digital forensics training and courses
- Incident response training
- DFIR conferences, workshops, and webinars
- Digital forensic software tools
- Digital forensic hardware
- DFIR books and reference material
- White papers and technical research
- Forensic test images and datasets
- OSINT and investigative resources
- eDiscovery and related professional resources
Curated, Not Just Collected
DFIR.Training is not an automatically generated directory. Maintaining the site requires ongoing searching, collecting, reviewing, categorizing, organizing, correcting, and updating of resources.
Events, tools, training resources, research, and other submitted material are evaluated for relevance and suitability before being added. A submission does not automatically result in a listing.

Search, Research & AI-Assisted Discovery
DFIR.Training is designed to make digital-forensics resources easier to identify and understand, whether they are discovered through traditional web search, academic research, direct links, community recommendations, or AI-assisted search and research tools.
Clear resource titles, categories, descriptions, source links, and dedicated listings provide context about what a resource is, who provides it, and how it relates to digital forensics and incident response.
Independent citations and references across academic, professional, educational, and community sources also help establish DFIR.Training as a recognizable source of digital-forensics information across the broader web.
Supported by the DFIR Industry
DFIR.Training is supported by carefully selected sponsors whose products and services I personally stand behind.
Sponsor support helps keep DFIR.Training free for the community while funding continued site maintenance, expanded listings, research, new resources, and improvements to the site.
Sponsorship does not mean that every product, event, or resource submitted by a sponsor is automatically listed. The goal remains to maintain a useful and relevant resource for the DFIR community.
