Challenge
Detecting Suspicious Login Activity
Globomantics Intrusion Detection System (IDS) flagged unusually high-rate traffic to the HTTP File Server. You have to analyze the network traffic to identify patterns of suspicious login attempts, determine whether unauthorized access occurred, and review additional details, such as the brute force transfer rate, to understand the attack pattern better.

Challenge
Tracing Sensitive File Access and Data Exfiltration
Globomantics HTTP File Server logs show requests for specific files containing sensitive information, such as FTP credentials. Your task is to analyze the network traffic, locate the request for the file, and extract its contents to confirm if sensitive data was accessed.
-
Challenge
Investigating Bypassed Restrictions and Unauthorized FTP Access
Globomantics IDS detected anomalous ICMP and SSH activity, followed by FTP transfers. Your task is investigating the ICMP pings, analyzing SSH traffic, and identifying FTP data transfers that indicate successful unauthorized access. Using the FTP credentials discovered earlier, the attacker downloaded sensitive files, which you must uncover and analyze.

Real skill practice before real-world application
Hands-on Labs are real environments created by industry experts to help you learn. These environments help you gain knowledge and experience, practice without compromising your system, test without risk, destroy without fear, and let you learn from your mistakes. Hands-on Labs: practice your skills before delivering in the real world.
Learn by doing
Engage hands-on with the tools and technologies you’re learning. You pick the skill, we provide the credentials and environment.
Follow your guide
All labs have detailed instructions and objectives, guiding you through the learning process and ensuring you understand every step.
Turn time into mastery
On average, you retain 75% more of your learning if you take time to practice. Hands-on labs set you up for success to make those skills stick.
