/forensics-report
Compile all forensic findings, analysis outputs, timelines, and IOC registers into a structured investigation report. Supports three report formats: triage summary for immediate response, full technical report for detailed review, and executive summary for leadership briefing.

Behavior
When invoked, this command:
Collect Investigation Artifacts
- Scan forensics directory for all completed outputs
- Load: triage summary, acquisition manifest, analysis findings, timeline, IOC register
- Identify missing sections and note gaps in coverage
- Record report generation timestamp
Severity Classification
- Review all findings from analysis agents
- Classify each finding: CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, INFORMATIONAL
- Count findings by severity for executive dashboard
- Identify the most significant findings for report lead section
Executive Summary (all formats)
- State incident classification (confirmed breach, suspected breach, false positive)
- Summarize attack scope: affected systems, accounts, data
- State attacker objectives and achieved goals (if determinable)
- List top 3-5 critical findings
- State immediate actions taken or required
Technical Findings Section (triage and full formats)
- Structured finding table: ID, severity, title, affected asset, evidence reference
- Per-finding detail: description, evidence, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, recommendation
- Link each finding to source log lines or artifacts
Timeline Section (full format)
- Include condensed attack timeline with key milestones
- Reference full timeline at
timeline/incident-timeline.md - State attacker dwell time and activity window
IOC Section (full format)
- Embed IOC register summary
- Highlight immediately actionable IOCs (IPs to block, hashes to scan)
- Reference full IOC register for SIEM/firewall import
Evidence Documentation (full format)
- List all collected evidence artifacts with case IDs
- Include SHA-256 hashes for integrity verification
- Reference chain-of-custody log
- Note preservation status
Remediation Plan
- Prioritized action list with severity-based ordering
- Short-term: immediate containment and eradication steps
- Medium-term: hardening and configuration changes
- Long-term: detection improvements and monitoring enhancements
- Assign suggested owner categories (security team, sysadmin, management)
Report Finalization
- Write formatted report to output path
- Generate PDF-ready markdown with proper heading hierarchy
- Compute report integrity hash
- Update investigation state to
reporting-complete
Report Formats
| Format | Audience | Length | Sections |

# Forensic Investigation Report
Case ID: INV-2026-02-27-web01
Generated: 2026-02-27T15:01:44Z
Classification: CONFIDENTIAL
## Executive Summary
**Incident Classification**: Confirmed Breach
**Severity**: CRITICAL
**Affected Systems**: web01.internal (192.168.1.50)
**Attack Window**: 2026-02-26 22:14Z - 2026-02-27 02:15Z (4h 1m)
**Attacker Objectives**: Persistent access, C2 implant installation
**Data Impact**: Undetermined (investigation ongoing)
Key Findings:
1. [CRITICAL] Successful SSH brute force against account 'deploy'
2. [CRITICAL] C2 implant installed via cron persistence (/tmp/.update)
3. [HIGH] Active C2 beacon to 185.220.101.42:4444
4. [HIGH] Privilege escalation: deploy -> root via sudo
5. [HIGH] Attacker IP 185.220.101.42 is known Tor exit node
## Findings
| ID | Severity | Title | Asset | MITRE |
|------|----------|--------------------------------|--------|---------------|
| F-01 | CRITICAL | SSH brute force success | web01 | T1110.001 |
| F-02 | CRITICAL | Cron-based persistence | web01 | T1053.003 |
| F-03 | HIGH | Active C2 connection | web01 | T1071.001 |
...
## Remediation Plan
### Immediate (0-24h)
- [ ] Isolate web01 from network
- [ ] Revoke 'deploy' account credentials
- [ ] Block 185.220.101.42 at perimeter firewall
- [ ] Remove /tmp/.update and associated cron entry
### Short-term (1-7 days)
- [ ] Rotate all SSH keys on affected system
- [ ] Audit all user accounts for unauthorized additions
- [ ] Review and harden SSH daemon configuration
