A comprehensive guide utilizing Splunk Enterprise Security and SPL to conduct deep forensic analysis of security incidents. This skill covers correlating disparate sources like Windows event logs, firewall records, proxy data, and Sysmon logs to detect TTPs, reconstruct timelines, and identify anomalies, making it essential for incident response and threat hunting.

This tool analyzes Web Application Firewall (WAF) logs (ModSecurity, AWS WAF, Cloudflare) to detect sophisticated SQL injection attack campaigns. It parses diverse log formats, identifies common SQLi payloads (UNION SELECT, OR 1=1), correlates multi-stage attacks, tracks source IPs, and generates detailed incident reports classified by OWASP standards for SOC analysts and security researchers.

This skill guides the security hardening of Windows endpoints (10/11, Server 2019/2022) using established CIS Benchmarks. It provides a comprehensive workflow for establishing secure organizational baselines, configuring Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and enforcing security controls across critical areas like password policies, audit logs, and firewall rules. It is essential for achieving compliance with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

This skill provides a systematic methodology for detecting Command and Control (C2) beaconing patterns in network traffic. It utilizes advanced statistical techniques, including Coefficient of Variation (CV) and jitter analysis, applied to network flow logs (Zeek, proxy, firewall). It is crucial for proactive threat hunting and incident response to identify compromised endpoints communicating periodically with malicious infrastructure.

A structured guide for SOC Tier 1 analysts to triage security alerts within Splunk Enterprise Security (ES). It provides a systematic workflow for classifying severity, investigating notable events, correlating evidence across diverse data sources (proxy, firewall, logs), and making clear disposition decisions (True Positive, False Positive) required for escalation or closure.

Investigates Google Cloud networking issues by analyzing logs, metrics, and diagnostics. Supports VPC Flow Logs, Cloud NAT, firewall and threat logs, latency and throughput metrics, and Connectivity Tests for path troubleshooting.
