I completed the Brim room on TryHackMe, which introduced me to Brim, a user-friendly tool for exploring, visualizing, and analyzing network and security data. The room focused on helping me understand how to work with large datasets like Zeek logs and packet captures in a more interactive way. I learned how to filter traffic, search […]

I completed the Zeek Exercises room on TryHackMe, which gave me hands-on practice using Zeek to analyze network traffic and investigate potential security incidents. Unlike the introductory Zeek rooms, this one focused on applying what I’d learned by answering questions and solving problems using real packet captures. I practiced parsing Zeek logs for different protocols

I completed the ZeekBro room on TryHackMe, which introduced me to Zeek, a powerful network monitoring and analysis tool often used in cybersecurity investigations. The room walked me through how to analyze network traffic and extract meaningful information from packet captures without having to inspect every single packet manually. I learned how Zeek organizes traffic

I completed the NetworkMiner room on TryHackMe, which introduced me to a powerful network forensics tool that makes analyzing packet captures a lot more approachable. Instead of digging through raw data line by line, NetworkMiner automatically organizes traffic into categories like hosts, files, images, credentials, and sessions. In this room, I learned how to load

I just finished the Snort Challenge – Live Attacks room on TryHackMe, which threw me into a simulated environment where real cyberattacks were happening against a machine I had to defend. The challenge was all about using Snort, a popular intrusion detection and prevention system, to spot and stop those attacks in real time. In

I worked through the Snort Basics room on TryHackMe, which was a great introduction to using Snort as an intrusion detection tool. Instead of jumping straight into live attacks, this room focused on understanding how Snort works, how to run it in different modes, and how to read the output it produces. I learned how

I just completed Intro to Logs room on TryHackMe. Learn the fundamentals of logging, data sources, collection methods and principles to step into the log analysis world. Intro to Logs https://tryhackme.com/room/introtologs

These TryHackMe challenges are well-designed. Fun, accessible, educational. What a great opportunity to get hands-on experience as a SOC Analyst while solving puzzles. Many, like this one, are reality-based. Just completed it! Friday Overtime https://tryhackme.com/room/fridayovertime

Completed the TryHackMe room on MISP, a tool for sharing and analyzing threat intelligence. It’s a valuable open-source resource for SOC analysts, helping streamline the process of tracking and responding to cyber threats. You can explore the room here: https://tryhackme.com/room/misp
