#infosec #fediverse will you share your thoughts? 🤔. Trying to roll my own #cti #threatintel education 🧑🏽‍🎓 using @likethecoins self study plan as a starter. https://medium.com/katies-five-cents

Considering @chrissanders88 🕵🏽‍♂️Investigation Theory ( https://www.networkdefense.io/library/investigation-theory-17444/398684/about/ ) Vs @sergio 💎Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis ( https://school.threatintel.academy/courses/diamond )

Is there significant overlap in these courses?
Which would you take first?
Would you take either over something like Blue Team Level 1 or Let's Defend?
Something else? #osint / #malware course?

Context: on a retail worker budget. Passed GFACT & GSEC via UK Gov scheme. Would like to strengthen analysis skills.

Also thinking about picking up The Economist at 50% off for the year. Worth it? https://subscribenow.economist.com/annual50

If you made it this far, thank you 🤘🏼

@ianseabrook @likethecoins @sergio I haven't taken Sergio's course, so I can't speak to it specifically. However, Sergio is a brilliant thinker who synthesizes information from a lot of meaningful and diverse sources. I have no doubt that it's excellent. I believe it's more focused on threat intelligence analysis.

My course on Investigation Theory is more focused on forensic analysis, the sorts of things you would do as a SOC analyst, incident responder, digital forensic examiner, and some elements of intelligence analysis (but primarily on the tactical side). If you have some specific questions about my course, send me a DM and I'd be glad to answer them.

All that said, I think most people would get a lot of value from both courses. I'd say no matter where you start, it's likely worth also taking the other :)
