Welcome to the L337 S4uc3 Lab walkthrough, an immersive cybersecurity challenge designed to test and develop your skills as a SOC analyst investigating a targeted attack. In this scenario, you'll be examining a security incident at Wayne and Stark Enterprises, where attackers have potentially compromised a critical asset named Development.wse.local, a server containing top-secret weapon designs. This lab provides a comprehensive opportunity to apply network forensics, memory analysis, and malware detection techniques to identify the who, what, where, when, and how of this sophisticated security breach. You'll work with various forensic artifacts including network traffic captures (PCAP files) and memory dumps to piece together the attack timeline, understand the techniques used by the threat actors, and uncover the full extent of the compromise.
Throughout this walkthrough, we'll utilize essential cybersecurity analysis tools including:
Wireshark - For analyzing network traffic and identifying suspicious communications
Zui - For advanced security analysis of the captured traffic
Volatility - For memory forensics to examine process information and system artifacts
