+| Baseline establishment | Record normal behavior | `top`, `netstat -tuln` | Baseline document |
+| IRT contacts | Establish escalation paths | N/A | Contact sheet |
+| Response kit | Prepare forensic tools | FTK, volatility, wireshark | Kit checklist |
+| **Detection & Analysis** ||||
+| Initial triage | Verify incident occurrence | `grep 'Failed password' /var/log/auth.log` | Incident ticket |
+| Scope determination | Identify affected systems | `lsof -i`, `netstat -antp` | Scope document |
+| Evidence collection | Capture volatile data | `memory_dump.sh`, `dd if=/dev/sda of=disk.img` | Evidence log |
+| Timeline creation | Establish sequence of events | `log2timeline.py` | Timeline document |
+| **Containment** ||||
+| Short-term containment | Isolate affected systems | Network segregation, `iptables -A INPUT -s malicious_ip -j DROP` | Containment log |
+| System backup | Create forensic copies | `dd`, FTK Imager | Backup verification |
+| Long-term remediation | Patch vulnerabilities | `apt update && apt upgrade` | Patch log |
+| **Eradication** ||||
+| Malware removal | Eliminate persistence | `find / -name "suspicious_file"`, AV scan | Cleanup report |
+| Vulnerability patching | Address security gaps | `yum update package`, `apt install security-patch` | Patch verification |
