PROC M ON
Procmon(Process Monitor) tool is a useful tool that provides real-time

information by monitoring the activities of processes on Windows. With
this tool, it is seen what changes a process has made to the system. If the
examined process is performing a malicious activity, this activity can be
detected with the Procmon tool. For example, the process may be trying to
read important files on the system, or it may be trying to maintain
persistence on the system by creating a record of its own on the registry.
The purpose of the Procmon tool is to analyze the processes running on
the machine in real time.
Procmon tool is a tool with a graphical user interface (GUI) included in

Sysinternals tools. When the procmon tool is run, a window like the one
below appears:

Volatility is a tool that enables the analysis of memory dumps taken from
a compromised machine during the incident response process. Volatility is
one of the memory dump analysis tools that should be used when it is
desired to analyze the memory dump instead of performing memory
analysis on the live machine. Volatility is written in python and runs on the
command line. With this tool, memory dump analysis of both Windows
and Linux machines can be done. It is an important tool used to detect
malicious process activities on systems. The modules, it contains, enables
the carrying out of the analysis process in a target-oriented manner. For
example, it provides the analyst with important information such as which
processes are running on the system, which subprocesses these
processes are connected to, and which process is running which command
on the command line.

Caldera is a platform where cyber attack methods created by MITRE can

be applied. With this tool, various studies can be carried out by applying
specific attack methods. For example, the caldera tool can be used for a
blue team activity where the necessary attack method is applied and the
measures that can be taken against this attack are investigated. With this
tool, cyber defense techniques can be developed by performing attack
simulations.

Wireshark is a tool that allows capturing, analyzing, and recording

network packets passing through network interfaces on the system. The
Wireshark tool, which has a long history, can be used for many purposes.
For example, it can be used for testing purposes to see if the applications’
ability to send data over the network is working. The Wireshark tool
provides valuable information when used in cybersecurity-focused
studies. For example, it can detect the IP address of the command and
control server (C2 Server) with which malware running on the system
communicates.
Wireshark tool is a tool with a graphical user interface (GUI). An example

image of the Wireshark tool is as follows:
If you want to use Wireshark as a SOC Analyst, you can follow this free

Immunity Debugger is a dynamic analysis tool that allows executables to

be analyzed at the assembly language level with reverse engineering
techniques. In order to use this tool in analysis processes, it is necessary
to have technical knowledge about low-level topics such as assembly
language, processor working principle, and system architecture. Having
this information, the analyst has the opportunity to dynamically analyze
the malware at the processor level during operation. In this way, the
behavior and malicious activities of the malware can be seen.
The Immunity Debugger tool is a tool with a graphical user interface (GUI).
