Hardening and Vulnerability Management
The defensive basics every machine needs: patch it, configure it securely, limit who can do what, and turn off what you do not need. Measure Linux and Windows hosts, turn on the records defenders rely on, rank and fix vulnerabilities, then audit a real server in a hands-on capstone. Builds on Security Foundations.
5 labs
Threat Detection and Hunting
Hunt the intruders your alerts miss: write a hypothesis around an ATT&CK technique, build a baseline, stack and pivot across network, logon and process data, and turn every finding into a tested detection rule.
4 labs
Detection Engineering
Design the detections a SOC relies on: endpoint telemetry, MITRE ATT&CK mapping and coverage, Sigma rules as code, testing and tuning against false positives, hunting that ends in new rules, and a hands-on capstone that tests, tunes and maps a real rule.
7 labs
DFIR: Forensics and Incident Response
Investigate a compromise from the first alert to the final report: the response lifecycle, trustworthy evidence handling, live-response triage, memory and disk forensics, timelines, and a capstone where you reconstruct a new intrusion on your own.
6 labs
SOC Level 1
Your first rung as a defender: what a Security Operations Center does, how to read Linux, network, web and Windows logs, how a SIEM turns them into alerts, how to triage an alert and when to escalate it, ending with a hands-on shift on a real alert queue. Builds on Security Foundations.
8 labs
SOC Analyst and SIEM
Work inside a SIEM the way a SOC analyst does: search the data, check your log sources, write and tune a detection, triage alerts, and follow one intrusion from the first alert to containment. Hands-on in a lab, no install.
5 labs
Security Foundations
The common ground every security career stands on: Linux and Windows, networks and the web, passwords and encryption, scripting, one scan seen from both sides, how security works at work, and a hands-on capstone. Builds on the Introduction to Cybersecurity.

Introduction to Cybersecurity
Start here. No experience needed: learn what cybersecurity is, how computers and networks work, the rules of ethical hacking, your first Linux commands, and capture your first flag.
