SSH Authentication Threat Hunting
Dive into security operations by investigating SSH authentication activity within a corporate network environment. This lab guides you through analyzing authentication logs to uncover failed login patterns, identify brute-force attempts, detect reconnaissance behavior, and correlate indicators of potential compromises. You'll develop practical query-writing skills and learn to think analytically when examining authentication data to distinguish legitimate access from malicious activity targeting remote services
