Cyber Security SOC Analyst :- System Attacks from Scratch

Learn system exploitation, patches and vulnerabilities, and how buffer overflow payloads with scanning tools reveal weaknesses in Windows and Linux targets.

Identify malware types such as viruses, trojans, and backdoors. Explore how they replicate, hide in legitimate apps, and enable privilege escalation and command and control.

Explore how brute force attacks exploit username and password combinations, test passwords, and trigger login failures and account lockouts, with logging and defensive measures in Windows and Linux.

Detect and remediate brute force attacks by configuring alerts for failed logon events, investigating security alerts, and opening tickets for containment and remediation.

Explore brute force attack detection and remediation, focusing on investigating source machines, identifying attacker origins, and applying firewall and monitoring controls to mitigate repeated login attempts.

Examine privilege escalation techniques targeting local and domain admin groups, identify unauthorized account additions, review event logs, and implement remediation by disabling accounts and investigating root causes.

Learn to recognize phishing attacks and social engineering, identify spoofed emails and malicious links, and apply remediation, detection, and incident response to protect credentials and domains.

Detect and remediate suspicious multiple geolocation logins, verify activity with users, and use VPN indicators to prevent account compromise.

Identify how malware arrives through email attachments, exploits vulnerabilities, and uses C2 channels, then apply remediation with antivirus scans, quarantining, safe mode, and removing startup programs.

Identify zero day attacks by monitoring anomalies in network traffic, then remediate by applying patches and upgrading operating systems and applications.
