Requirements
- Windows Systems (Essential)
- Networking Fundamentals (Essential)
- Security Concepts (Essential)
- Additional Skills (Highly Recommended)
- This is a technically rigorous course. Participants without these prerequisites will struggle significantly with the pace and depth of the material.
Features
- Explain threat hunting workflows, DFIR lifecycle stages, and identify critical Windows artifacts.
- Create detection rules using MITRE ATT&CK (TTP mapping) and develop hypotheses for proactive hunting.
- Detect credential abuse, lateral movement, and persistence mechanisms while performing basic static/dynamic malware analysis.
- Acquire and analyze disk, memory, and registry artifacts, and use open-source tools to build artifact timelines.
- Contain threats using NIST SP 800-61 principles and document findings for handoff to DFIR teams.
- Map adversary behaviors to MITRE D3FEND mitigations and generate actionable alerts from STIX reports.
- Investigate full attack chains—from initial access to exfiltration—and produce both technical and executive reports for mock breaches.
Target audiences
- SOC Analysts (Tier 2+) seeking to advance beyond alert triage to proactive hunting
- Incident Responders looking to enhance investigation techniques and efficiency
