Building a threat hunting platform using Elastic Stack

WS - 7

Building a threat hunting platform using Elastic Stack

 

Workshop Objective:

It is important to keep pace with the attack vectors of today and tomorrow. So, we need a solution which helps us to hunt for a needle in a haystack. Building a solution which collates, sanitizes and stores security event information, will enable further analysis by a SOC Analyst – using a single pane of glass is need of the hour. But what tools would help me achieve this?

Elasticsearch or otherwise called as Elastic Stack (ELK-B) is appropriate engine to search petabytes of data in real time which helps you to do threat hunting in real time.

Elasticsearch is the world's most popular distributed search engine. Developers across the world built various solutions which power several interesting user experiences. Over a period of time, Elasticsearch is omnipresent and the stack use cases are ever growing.

In this workshop we will discuss more about building a threat hunting solution on top of Elasticsearch.

Pre-requisite

  • Laptop with Admin Privileges
  • Ability to access any URL.
  • At least 8GB of RAM, 10GB of Disk space free on the system
  • Laptop should support hardware-based virtualization
  • If your laptop can run a 64-bit virtual machine in Oracle VirtualBox it should work
  • Other virtualization software might work but we will not be able to provide support for that
  • USB Ports for copying data

What is not covered?

Elastic Stack is an ocean with a lot of features, and interesting configuration parameters which is impossible to learn in 2 days. So this is just a primer and a great to do somethingawesome.

Participants’ Requirements:

  • Basic knowledge of Distributed Systems, REST APIs
  • Experience with Linux commands/modules/OS Concepts

Who should attend:

  • Day 1: It is open to everyone, as we are exploring overall stack.
  • Day 2: Specifically for SecOps Teams, SOC Analysts, Developers working on developing Security Platforms.
