9 modules · 18 lessons · labs + assessmentsAdvanced Network Security & Traffic Analysis
Read the wire like an analyst: from raw packets to high-fidelity detections.
Web Application Exploitation (Beyond OWASP Top 10)
Server-side trust failures: SSRF, injection into back-ends, and template/deserialization flaws — and how to shut them.
Privilege Escalation (Windows & Linux)
From a foothold to admin via misconfiguration — and the audit rules that catch each step.
Threat Hunting & SIEM Rule Engineering
Hypothesis-driven hunting and detection-as-code with Sigma, SPL, and KQL.
Digital Forensics & Incident Response
Contain, acquire, analyze, recover — with defensible evidence handling.
Malware Analysis (Static + Dynamic)
Safely triage and characterize samples to produce detections — analysis, not authoring.
Cloud Security (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Identity is the new perimeter: attack paths, misconfig, and guardrails across clouds.
Machine Learning for Cybersecurity
Use ML where it earns its keep — and defend the models themselves.
Red vs Blue Simulation Exercise
Capstone: run a full kill-chain in the lab and measure detection coverage at every step.
