Episode 37 — Review boost: analysis and pivoting mastery
This mid-course review boost is designed to solidify your mastery of advanced analytical frameworks and the technical art of multi-stage pivoting. This episode synthesizes the core lessons from the previous ten units, focusing on the practical application of Passive DNS, WHOIS history, and link analysis to map complex adversary ecosystems. We provide a series of "mental exercises" designed to test your ability to select the best "anchor" for a pivot and to apply Structured Analytic Techniques (SATs) like the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses in real-time. This review is a critical checkpoint for GCTI candidates, ensuring that you can move fluidly between different data types while maintaining a strict "falsifiability" mindset. By reinforcing these skills now, you build the analytical stamina required for the upcoming deep dives into malware analysis and sophisticated intrusion modeling.
