Built a complete SOC home lab with ELK Stack, 6 detection rules, 6 attack simulations
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.
