tradecraft (how we defend)

Hey everyone. Just finished building my first

SOC home lab. Here is what I built:

- Ubuntu Server running full ELK Stack 8.19

- 500,000+ logs ingested from Linux and Windows

- 6 custom KQL detection rules (MITRE mapped)

- 4 Kibana dashboards

- 6 real attack simulations from Kali Linux

- 3 documented threat hunt reports

GitHub: github.com/HK101-cyber/soc-home-lab

Happy to answer any questions about the build.
