To investigate a GitHub repository for a supply chain attack, you need a structured forensic framework that aggregates data from local git, GitHub APIs, BigQuery, and web archives to build a verifiable evidence chain.

Yes, you can recover deleted commits after a force push by using multi-source evidence collection from web archives and BigQuery to retrieve the original commit SHA, analyze the diff, and validate security hypotheses.

Forensic evidence verification for open source security incidents works by using a dedicated evidence store with SHA-256 verification, ensuring all collected findings from git and GitHub APIs remain tamper-proof and fully traceable.

Yes, you need BigQuery, curl, git, jq, and python3 installed, as these tools coordinate parallel data collection from GitHub APIs and the GitHub Archive to analyze supply chain compromises effectively.

The best way to generate a formal report for a supply chain attack investigation is through mechanical evidence checking and structured reporting, which validates security hypotheses using recovered data from multiple sources.

You should use multiple data sources for git security forensics because relying solely on local repositories misses deleted artifacts, whereas aggregating GitHub API, BigQuery, and Wayback Machine data ensures complete evidence recovery.
