Linux Security Monitoring

Learn how Linux logging works and how you can use it to detect common Linux attacks - all through real-world examples and challenging, hands-on threat detection labs.

This module explores the Linux attacks and defenses directly on the host, without SIEM abstractions. Through hands-on labs, you’ll uncover malware uploads, reverse shells, cryptomining activity and then trace every step back through system and process logs. This hands-on experience will sharpen your Linux skills and prepare you for real-world SOC work.

What are modules?

A learning pathway is made up of modules, and a module is made of bite-sized rooms (think of a room like a mini security lab).
