## What it is
A curated guide to Digital Forensics covering tools, libraries, frameworks, books, tutorials, and certifications across computer, mobile, network, and database forensics. It is a reference document (markdown) rather than runnable software.

## Use cases
- learn digital forensics from scratch
- find DFIR tools for forensic investigations
- study for digital forensics certifications
- discover mobile device forensics resources
- explore network forensics and SIEM tools
- build a digital forensics learning path

## When to choose
- you want a curated starting point for learning digital forensics
- you need a reference list of forensics tools, books, and courses
- you are preparing for DFIR-related certifications or roles

## When to avoid
- you need actual forensic analysis software rather than a guide
- you need a maintained tool with a license and active releases
- you need hands-on lab exercises or structured training

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, osint, developer-tools
- domain: security, tutorials, awesome-lists, penetration-testing
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: digital-forensics, dfir, curated-list, computer-forensics, mobile-forensics, network-forensics, incident-response
