A LITTLE UPDATE 🔥
Due to the number of participants and the technical depth of the training, we’re extending the bootcamp to 6 Weeks And we’re moving the start date by one week to give our team enough time to prepare and make the most of the extended training ❤️.

Attackers send encoded threats.
Suricata + Cyberchef reveals them.

Last week, Team Vector explored Threat Scenario Development and MITRE ATT&CK Mapping as part of the @ccfairfuta SOC Accelerator Bootcamp.
Our focus was on an RDP-based attack scenario and how defenders can detect and investigate suspicious activities.
Walk with me 👇.

We also explored custom Wazuh detection rules for suspicious activities and how threat intelligence helps support investigations.
The key lesson was about understanding attacker behaviour, investigating evidence and evaluating detection effectiveness.

Attackers leave clues behind, even when they try not to.
IOCs are those clues like suspicious IPs, strange file hashes, unexpected logins and spotting them early is how SOC analysts catch breaches before they spread.

The second was to tell a story from the Wazuh environment telling about a sus. Account creation and escalation to admin privileges. And still comparing the telemetry and visibility gaps..

Looking at things little by little to understand the whole's been working for me recently learning cybersec.
But then technical problems I been facing too are really pushing me to do better.
Beginning to believe in my PC😅

Week 2 with CCF was really tasking for me..
Battling with re-setting up my SOC lab to team work to making sure my labs are stable enough to work on 8gb and also having my laptop not too slow...
Lot of work for me... Let's talk about what the task was in a brief..

Week 2 of the SOC Accelerator Program with @ccfairfuta started with a simple task: build a SIEM lab with Wazuh.
Easy enough, right? Until my laptop ran out of space, Wazuh threw errors, and my Ubuntu server broke. I had to start all over again. 😭

Red flags in babe? Yes or no
This is strictly for lovers
But if you are single, SORRY, you can play with your friends😂 🤲

One thing I'm learning with Team Vector is that deploying a SIEM is only part of the job.
We need to ensure the right logs are collected, verify that events are visible, and investigate the evidence before drawing conclusions.

Last week, my team and I worked on telemetry and log collection using Wazuh as part of the @ccfairfuta SOC Bootcamp.
Our focus was on understanding how endpoint activities generate logs and how we can use that evidence during security investigations. 🔍

My babe got her first tech pay today and she’s happy like!!!
Mesef just Dey beside am, Proud husband moment 😂🤲🏿
Make she con go flex me small
N.B: Bring your data analysis gig abeg 🤲🏿🤲🏿
She go do am for you
Using these tools, you are one step ahead, always ✨

Every action on a network leaves a trail whether logins, file access, failed attempts, all of it .
That's where log analysis comes in. SOC analysts examine this data to spot the small red flags before they turn into major incidents.

Your systems are constantly generating security events.
Are you paying attention to them?
What would you want your security monitoring system to alert you about? Drop it in the comment section.

Ever wonder how SOC analysts catch threats in seconds instead of days?
Meet SIEM.
It pulls in logs from every corner of a network, spots the patterns that matter, and alerts analysts before small issues become big problems.

No telemetry, no visibility. No visibility, no investigation.
If you don't have enough data, you would not have enough clues on what to investigate when an incident occurs. This was the core theme of Week 2 at the CCF SOC bootcamp, which focused on building visibility and getting enough telemetry.
A few key highlights I learnt from the session:
Telemetry: The automated collection of data from different endpoint sources as they operate.
SIEM: The importance of these tools in correlating events, centralizing logs, and solving data scaling problems.
Wazuh tool: The introduction to Wazuh, an open source SIEM platform for active threat detection.
We were also split into Breakout rooms where my team had to discuss telemetry sources for a complex, real world scenario.
My team has been assigned our next hands-on project based on this, so stay tuned for my upcoming project documentation.
