It’s time to master your data. This course will teach you how to use the Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK) to build your own IDS console, investigation platform, or security analysis lab. You must master your data If you want to catch bad guys and find evil. But, how can you do that? That’s where the ELK stack comes in. ELK is Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana and together they provide a framework for collecting, storing, and investigating network security data. In this course, you’ll learn how to use this powerful trio to perform security analysis. This isn’t just an ELK course, it’s a course on how to use ELK specifically for incident responders, network security monitoring analysts, and other security blue teamers.

Syllabus

  • Elasticsearch: How data is stored and indexed. Working with JSON documents.
  • Logstash: How to collect and manipulate structured and unstructured data.
  • Kibana: Techniques for searching data and building useful visualizations and dashboards.
  • Beats: Use the agent to ship data from endpoints and servers to your ELK systems.
  • HTTP Proxy Logs
  • File-Based Logs (Unix, auth, and application logs)
  • Windows Events & Sysmon Data
  • NetFlow Data
  • IDS Alerts
  • Dealing with any CSV file you’re handed
  • Parsing unstructured logs, no matter how weird they are

Most security analysis and detection tools support matching with regular expressions because of limitations in their own feature set. This means that if you can write regular expressions, you can search with infinite precision. This applies to IDS engines, SIEMs, and even command line tools like grep.

The phrase “searching for a needle in a haystack” is overused, but it’s a serious component of what security analysts do. A large part of our success is contingent on being able to search through large repositories of data and match things that meet very specific criteria.

Demystifying Regular Expressions will help you do exactly that.

Syllabus

  • The most common uses of regular expressions and how to apply them in places you weren’t even aware of.
  • The process of iteratively building and testing regular expressions for things you want to match.
  • Techniques for overcoming common gotchas like dealing with whitespace
  • How to Evaluate the efficiency of expressions by the number of steps it takes to match.
  • A definitive guide to escaping so you’ll know when and how to do it
  • How quantifiers can be used to match specific numbers of data occurrences
  • How to use capture groups to reference specific matched content and perform additional operations on it
  • Complex behavioral structures like lookarounds and conditionals
  • The use of modifiers to match case-sensitive, enable free-spacing, or match in single line mode

A structured system to ensure you’re never at a loss for places and methods to start hunting for evil. Practical Threat Hunting is a foundational course that will teach you how to approach threat hunting using a proven, structured, repeatable framework. Practical Threat Hunting is the course that will teach you to hunt in a way that will never leave you at a shortage of places to start or techniques to manipulate data to spot anomalies. You’ll build skills through a series of expert-led lectures, scenario-based demonstrations, and hands-on lab exercises. Through a combination of theory and application, you’ll learn the basics of threat hunting and apply them to your network immediately.

Syllabus

  • Two hunting frameworks: Attack-Based Hunting (ABH) and Data-Based Hunting (DBH)
  • Techniques for leveraging threat intelligence and the MITRE ATT&CK framework for hunting input
  • The 9 most common types of anomalies you’ll encounter when reviewing evidence.
  • The 4 ways threat hunters most commonly transform data to spot anomalies
  • Typical staffing models for hunting capabilities in organizations of all sizes along with pros/cons
  • 5 metrics that support and enable threat hunting operations
  • My two-step system for effective note taking while hunting (and how to transition those notes to longer-term storage for easy searching)
  • An ideal design for a hunter’s wiki/knowledgebase
  • A 5-step framework for dissecting and simulating attacks to prepare for hunting expeditions

Capturing packets is easy, but making sense of them isn’t. This course will teach you the fundamentals of packet analysis. You’ll learn all about common protocols, how to troubleshoot network issues, and how to investigate security incidents at the packet level. It’s easy to fire up Wireshark and capture some packets…but making sense of them is another story. There’s nothing more frustrating than knowing the answers you need lie in a mountain of data that you don’t know how to sift through. That’s why I wrote the first Practical Packet Analysis book a decade ago. That book is now in its third edition, has been translated to several languages, and has sold over 25,000 copies. Now, I’m excited to create an online course based on the book. The Practical Packet Analysis online course is the best way to get hands on visual experience capturing, dissecting, and making sense of packets.

Syllabus

  • How networking works at the packet level.
  • How to interpret packet data at a fundamental level in hexadecimal or binary.
  • Basic and advanced analysis features of Wireshark.
  • How to analyze packets on the command line with tshark and tcpdump.
  • Reducing capture files with Berkeley packet filters and Wireshark display filters.
  • Techniques for capturing packets to make sure you’re collecting the right data.
  • How to interpret common network and transport layer protocols like IPv4, IPv6, ICMP, TCP, and UDP.
  • How to interpret common application layer protocols like HTTP, DNS, SMTP, and more.
  • Normal and abnormal stimulus and response patterns for common protocols.
  • Troubleshooting connectivity issues at the packet level.
  • Techniques for carving files from packet streams.
  • Understanding network latency and how to locate the source.
  • How common network attacks are seen by an intrusion detection systems.
  • Techniques for investigating security alerts using packet data.
  • How malware communicates on the network.
