Incident Response Chaos Club

A community-driven DFIR (Digital Forensics & Incident Response) knowledge aggregator

Project Goal

We're solving a fundamental problem in the DFIR community:

The Problem: Finding quality DFIR content is fragmented and frustrating. Security researchers and practitioners either:

• Don't publish their knowledge due to lack of website expertise or resources
• Publish on scattered personal blogs that are hard to discover and track

Our Solution: irchaos.club serves as a centralized DFIR knowledge aggregator where security professionals can:

• Publish directly on our platform with full Markdown support
• Create external link entries to showcase content hosted elsewhere
• Gain visibility through our growing community
• Discover quality content in one centralized location

Whether you're sharing malware analysis, incident response procedures, threat hunting techniques, or security research, IRChaos Club provides the platform and audience your work deserves.
