Offensive Anti Forensics

Category: Security  ·  Sub-category: forensics  ·  Last updated:
Anti-forensics and evidence destruction techniques for red team operators conducting authorized engagements. Covers log clearing on Windows (wevtutil, Clear-EventLog, ETW provider patching) and Linux (journal truncation, utmp/wtmp binary editing, syslog manipulation), timestamp manipulation via Timestomp and SetMACE to defeat timeline analysis, filesystem-level anti-forensics including NTFS Alternate Data Streams for payload hiding and secure deletion with sdelete/shred, memory artifact removal to counter live forensics, disk artifact manipulation targeting MFT entries and USN journal records, network forensics evasion through encrypted C2 channels and DNS-over-HTTPS tunneling, and anti-VM/sandbox detection to avoid dynamic analysis environments. Tools: Timestomp, wevtutil, sdelete, shred, MimiPenguin, Invoke-Phant0m. Aligns to MITRE ATT&CK T1070 (Indicator Removal), T1027 (Obfuscated Files or Information), T1497 (Virtualization/Sandbox Evasion). Each technique includes the forensic artifact it targets, the destruction or manipulation method, and the defender perspective so operators understand detection gaps they must account for.

From the source SKILL.md

Anti-forensics is the practice of manipulating, destroying, or preventing the creation of forensic artifacts during an engagement. As a red team operator, you treat every action as generating evidence -- logs, timestamps, memory structures, disk metadata, and network captures all tell a story. Your objective is to control that narrative. This skill covers the primary evidence categories you encounter on Windows and Linux targets, the techniques for manipulating each, and the defender view so you understand what a competent forensic analyst looks for when your cleanup is incomplete.

What this skill does

Offensive Anti Forensics is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the forensics sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/offensive-anti-forensics/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Offensive Anti Forensics Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Offensive Anti Forensics skill?
Use Offensive Anti Forensics when your Claude Code task falls under the Security category — specifically in the forensics area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Offensive Anti Forensics" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/security/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Offensive Anti Forensics skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Offensive Anti Forensics is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Security category.
