Introduction:
The objective of this project is to set up a security monitoring system using Wazuh to detect
and alert on security incidents in a virtualized Windows environment. This project is essential in
ensuring the security of the system and protecting it from potential threats.

Project Objective
The project will include the following tasks:

● Set up a Windows virtual machine using VirtualBox.

● Install necessary software and tools for security testing and exploitation.

● Perform security testing and exploitation on the Windows virtual machine.

● Install and configure the Wazuh agent on the Windows virtual machine.

● Set up the Wazuh server for receiving and processing data from the Wazuh agent.

● Use the Wazuh web interface to monitor the Windows virtual machine for potential
security incidents.
● Generate alerts and notifications when potential security incidents are detected.

Project Scope
This project will involve setting up a Windows virtual machine using a virtualization platform
such as VirtualBox or VMware. The virtualized environment will be used to perform security
testing and exploitation to identify vulnerabilities in the system. Wazuh will be installed and
configured on the virtual machine to monitor the system for potential threats. Custom rules
and alerts will be created in Wazuh to detect and respond to specific security incidents. The
project will focus on detecting and responding to threats such as malware infections,
unauthorized access, and system misconfigurations.

Group member 1(Abdul Wasey):


Set up a virtualized Windows environment using a virtualization platform such as VirtualBox or
VMware.
Install and configure Wazuh for security monitoring.
Create basic rules and alerts in Wazuh to detect and respond to common security incidents.

Group member 2(Mohtashim):


Perform security testing and exploitation on the virtualized environment to identify
vulnerabilities in the system.
Configure custom rules and alerts in Wazuh to detect and respond to specific security incidents
identified during security testing.
Monitor the system for potential threats using Wazuh.

Group member 3(Ameer Ali):


Analyze the findings from the security testing and monitoring conducted by Mohtashim.
Develop a report summarizing the findings and recommendations for improving the system's
security posture.
Present the report to the group and provide insights on how to further improve the security
monitoring system using Wazuh.

Conclusion
This project aims to set up a security monitoring system using Wazuh to detect and alert on
security incidents in a virtualized Windows environment. By performing security testing and
monitoring the system for potential threats, the project will help improve the security posture
of the system and protect it from potential attacks. The project will also provide insights and
recommendations for improving the system's security posture.
