Security Practice

SOC Lab

My home SOC lab is in progress — this is where I'll document simulations, log analysis, and detection work as I build out the environment. Check back soon for the first writeup.

Simulated Environment

The Scenario

Doud Co. is a six-person operation with a tight-knit team: Leonardo and Raphael anchor Human Resources, April O'Neil manages Finance, Donatello serves as both IT administrator and the company's reluctant one-man security team, and Casey Jones and Michelangelo round out Sales. Small but capable — on paper.

In practice, Donatello has his hands full. Despite the team's talent and enthusiasm, their devices are anything but secure. Brute force attempts and DDoS traffic have become a recurring headache, and Donatello can't shake the feeling that someone on the inside is making it worse — whether through careless habits, weak credentials, or something worse.

The question isn't whether Doud Co. has a security problem. It's which employee is leaving the door open — and how to prove it.

Coming Soon.

First writeup in progress — check back shortly.
