Blue Team Labs

Develop skills in basic and advanced malware analysis, including static, dynamic, and code analysis, to identify, understand, and investigate malicious binaries.

Analyze malware behavior and develop YARA rules for proactive detection by identifying packing methods, entropy levels, and execution patterns.

Reconstruct a Linux system's unauthorized access and ransomware incident by analyzing logs, browser, and email artifacts, decrypting payloads, and identifying persistence.

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.

Understand and analyze ATM-targeting malware using static analysis tools, identify malicious behaviors, and trace how malware exploits legitimate APIs like XFS to manipulate ATM hardware and perform unauthorized actions.

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.

Perform forensic analysis on a compromised Windows system to identify malware, trace attacker activity, and understand persistence mechanisms.

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