How can I make money out of forensics?


Hello, I am a person who is currently working in the cyber security field in an entry position, and I am interested in earning some side-money.

I know that for red-teamers bug bounty is a viable solution, but I do not have the appropriate knowledge for being a bounty hunter, nor do I wish to be one.

I have knowledge instead in windows and linux forensics, and I am looking for a way to offer my knowledge so that I can get payed for it. Not as a full time job.

Also, if you have any suggestions for other "blue-team" jobs that require skills not mentioned here would be appreciated.

Let a handful of lawyers that work in cases that overlap your expertise know about what you can offer them. Once you have a successful gig under your belt, further gigs are easier since lawyers are themselves a niche "market" and prefer working with people who are experienced and knowledgeable (and therefore vetted) about working with other lawyers.

Consulting seems like the most obvious candidate. You could also sell your knowledge as an online course or book.
