  1. Challenge

    Export Windows event logs and Sysmon data for AI-based anomaly review

    An alert tells you where to start looking. In this objective, you will preserve the logs around the alert, find four relevant records, and prepare them for AI review. Keeping the original exports lets you check the source of any later claim.

  2. Challenge

    Use AI to interpret and deobfuscate malicious PowerShell commands

    AI can help explain unfamiliar commands. In this objective, you will decode the PowerShell command as text and compare the saved analysis with the process, script, registry, and task evidence to check the claims made by AI.

  3. Challenge

    Validate AI-recommended remediations for anomalous scheduled tasks and registry keys

    In this objective, you will inspect the task, Run value, and payload, save recovery copies, and assess the saved response's recommendation against the evidence you checked.
