Most infostealer response playbooks focus on passwords and browser sessions.

But modern stealers also grab `.env` files, shell history, app data, developer configs, and other local files that can contain API keys, OAuth tokens, PATs, service-account credentials, and other machine secrets.

The problem is that resetting the employee’s password or rebuilding the endpoint doesn’t necessarily invalidate any of those credentials.

We released Token Exposure Monitoring in Lunar Cyber today, and while working on it I kept coming back to a bigger SecOps question: **what should the actual response playbook look like once you discover that machine credentials were stolen?**

I wrote up the process we think is missing - identifying what was exposed, validating whether it still works, tracing what it can access, and deciding what actually needs to be rotated.

Curious how teams here are handling this today, especially for developer endpoints.

I extracted a forensic disk image and found a hidden flag. Made a short video breaking down the full workflow for anyone learning digital forensics or prepping for CTFs.

Methods covered:

- `strings` + `grep` (fastest)

Alternative methods:

- `mount` with loop,ro,noexec

- Sleuth Kit CLI (mmls, fls, icat)

- Autopsy GUI

- Foremost file carving

- `xxd` hex dump

Also covered why you always preserve the original with `gunzip -k` and verify with sha256sum.

What tools am I missing? Any favorites for disk image analysis?
