Here, I set up and explored Sysmon, a Windows system service that generates detailed logs about processes, network connections, and file changes. I learned how Sysmon enhances visibility compared to native Windows logging, providing rich context for investigations.
This room gave me real-world practice in analyzing Sysmon logs to detect suspicious patterns, such as unexpected process creation or connections to unusual IPs. It showed me why SOCs rely heavily on Sysmon as part of their endpoint detection strategy.
