I completed the Brim room on TryHackMe, which introduced me to Brim, a user-friendly tool for exploring, visualizing, and analyzing network and security data. The room focused on helping me understand how to work with large datasets like Zeek logs and packet captures in a more interactive way. I learned how to filter traffic, search for specific events, and visualize patterns in the data to identify unusual or suspicious activity on a network.
Through the exercises, I practiced importing datasets, creating queries to extract relevant information, and interpreting the results to understand network behavior. This hands-on experience gave me a practical understanding of how analysts use Brim to quickly make sense of large amounts of network data and uncover potential security incidents. By the end of the room, I felt more confident in navigating complex logs and turning raw network data into actionable insights.
