Blue Team Labs

Investigate and analyze malicious activity in an Active Directory environment using log analysis and Splunk queries to identify initial access, persistence, lateral movement, and data exfiltration techniques.

Learn to investigate ransomware attacks by analyzing logs, registry entries, and artifacts to trace attacker actions, tools used, and identify indicators of compromise.

Reconstruct a BlueSky ransomware attack by analyzing network traffic, decoding PowerShell scripts, and examining persistence mechanisms to identify attacker tactics and IOCs.

This lab aims to equip learners with practical skills in malware analysis by dissecting a multi-stage AsyncRAT infection. Participants will explore obfuscation techniques, payload extraction, persistence mechanisms, and steganographic methods used in real-world malware, enhancing their ability to detect, analyze, and respond to complex cyber threats.

Reconstruct a multi-system LockBit ransomware attack chain by correlating Windows event logs, registry artifacts, and PowerShell activity to identify TTPs.

Analyze a malicious MSI installer by deconstructing its components, extracting embedded scripts, identifying C2 communication, and attributing the malware family.

Analyze, decrypt, and trace a multi-stage malware infection, uncovering obfuscation techniques, payload delivery methods, and network communication indicators.

Analyze packed malware behavior, detect persistence mechanisms, and investigate data exfiltration through dynamic analysis, traffic interception, and reverse engineering techniques.

Investigate fileless malware by analyzing registry artifacts, decrypting in-memory payloads, and identifying malware families using forensic tools and reverse engineering techniques.

Learn to perform Chromebook forensic analysis using tools like DB Browser and Notepad++, focusing on user artifacts, browser data, downloads, and Google Takeout for digital investigations.
