Challenge
Extract and sanitize Linux telemetry
Before beginning the analysis, you’ll discover how to collect Linux endpoint telemetry and sanitize it for safe AI ingestion. Practice extracting process information, active network connections, and other endpoint data while identifying and removing sensitive information before sharing it with an AI tool.
-
Challenge
Prompt AI to detect anomalies within syslog, authlog, and journalctl
You’ll explore how to use AI prompts to analyse Linux logs and identify potential security anomalies. Learn how to prepare and provide sanitized syslog, auth.log, and journalctl output to an AI assistant, create effective analysis prompts, and evaluate potential suspicious activity.
-
Challenge
Evaluate and safely apply AI generated bash scripts for threat remediation
After identifying potential anomalies, you’ll evaluate AI-generated Bash scripts and safely apply appropriate remediation actions. Learn how to review AI generated commands for accuracy and potential impact, validate them before execution, and safely apply and verify remediation on a Linux endpoint.
