Unlocking Cybersecurity Excellence - Explore Real-World Projects
Dive into the heart of cybersecurity with Hacker Academy's hands-on projects. Our curated collection of projects covers a spectrum of trending cybersecurity topics, ensuring you gain practical experience that's aligned with the most sought-after skills in the industry.
Use ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) to collect, parse, and analyze log data from various sources such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, and servers. Create dashboards to visualize log events and perform correlation analysis to detect security incidents.
Deploy Snort or Suricata IDS in a test environment and fine-tune intrusion detection rules to detect and alert on suspicious network activity. Analyze alerts generated by the IDS to identify potential threats and false positives.
Set up Cuckoo Sandbox or Any. Run to analyze malware samples in a controlled environment. Execute malware samples and analyze their behavior, network communications, and file changes. Document findings and generate reports detailing malware behavior.
Conduct threat-hunting exercises using open-source threat intelligence feeds and tools like MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform). Investigate suspicious indicators of compromise (IOCs) and hunt for signs of advanced persistent threats (APTs) or insider threats.
Simulate a security incident such as a phishing attack or ransomware infection. Utilize tools like The Hive and Cortex for incident case management, threat analysis, and response coordination. Practice incident containment, eradication, and recovery procedures.
Perform vulnerability assessments using OpenVAS (Open Vulnerability Assessment System) or Nessus. Scan network hosts and systems for known vulnerabilities and prioritize patching based on severity ratings. Document findings and remediation recommendations.
Customize a SIEM solution like OSSIM (Open Source Security Information Management) or Graylog. Configure data sources, correlation rules, and alerting thresholds tailored to organizational needs. Monitor SIEM dashboards for security events and investigate anomalies.
Use OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) or Burp Suite Community Edition to perform web application security testing. Conduct automated and manual scans to identify vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure configurations.
Facilitate tabletop exercises to simulate security incidents and practice incident response procedures. Develop scenarios based on real-world threats and engage stakeholders in discussions on detection, containment, and communication strategies.
