1.

Core Environment Setup


 Virtual Machines or Containers: Prepare virtual environments (e.g., VirtualBox, VMware,
Docker).
 Package Managers: Install and update apt, yum, pip, or other necessary package managers.

2. Logging, Monitoring, and Visualization Tools


These tools centralize log collection, correlation, and visualization for monitoring and detecting
threats.
 Splunk Enterprise (Free Trial): Log collection, correlation, and visualization (SIEM).
 Elasticsearch & Kibana: Log storage, search, and visualization (part of the ELK stack,
which can be used for SIEM).
 Graylog: Alternative log management solution for centralized logging.
 Wazuh: Open-source security monitoring platform (can be integrated with SIEM solutions).

3. Identity and Access Management (IAM) and API Security


For securing identities, authentication, and API traffic.
 Keycloak: Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution for secure authentication and
authorization.
 Kong Gateway: API Gateway for securing API traffic and managing APIs.

4. Vulnerability Management and Assessment


Run vulnerability management tools to identify and mitigate weaknesses in the setup.
 Nessus: Vulnerability scanner for identifying security weaknesses.
 OpenVAS: Open-source vulnerability scanner.
 Azure Security Center: Cloud-native security management and vulnerability assessment
for Azure environments.

5. Threat Intelligence Sharing and Enrichment


Tools to enhance threat detection through intelligence sharing and enrichment.
 MISP: Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) for sharing, storing, and correlating indicators of
compromise (IOCs).
 Sigma: Framework for creating standardized detection rules to use across various SIEM
tools and threat detection platforms.

6. Incident Response and Forensics


Tools designed to support forensic investigation and incident response.
 Velociraptor: For endpoint monitoring, digital forensics, and incident response.
 Wireshark: Network protocol analyzer for deep packet inspection and network forensics.
 TheHive: Open-source incident response and case management platform.
 CyberChef: Web-based tool for cyber operations like data analysis and manipulation.
 OSSEC: Open-source Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) for monitoring log files,
rootkit detection, and more.

7. Malware Analysis and Threat Detection


Proactive detection and analysis of threats, including malware and suspicious activity.
 Cuckoo Sandbox: Automated malware analysis tool for analyzing suspicious files in an
isolated environment.
 Dionaea: Low-interaction honeypot designed to capture malware from attackers.
 Suricata: High-performance Network IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection/Prevention System).
 Zeek (formerly Bro): Network traffic analysis tool for detecting suspicious network
activity.
 Malcolm: Network traffic analysis and security monitoring platform.

8. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)


Monitor, detect, and respond to endpoint-based threats.
 LimaCharlie: Cloud-native endpoint monitoring, detection, and response platform.
 Sysmon: Endpoint monitoring tool for tracking process creation, network connections, and
file events (Windows-centric).

9. Threat Hunting and Attack Simulation


Tools for actively hunting threats and simulating attacks for validation.
 Atomic Red Team: Provides a library of adversary simulation tests to validate detection
capabilities.
 Zeek (Bro): As mentioned, used to detect abnormal DNS, HTTP traffic, and other network
activities for threat hunting.

10. Final Configuration and Testing


Ensure that all the tools are integrated and functioning as expected.
 Integration: Connect various tools (e.g., feed logs from Suricata into Elasticsearch/Kibana,
Splunk, etc.).
 System Testing: Perform a system-wide test to verify the proper functionality of all tools
and interconnectivity.
Expected Outcomes:
 Enhanced Threat Hunting: Combined endpoint detection (LimaCharlie) and SIEM
solutions (Splunk, Elastic) for improved visibility.
 Comprehensive Detection: Malicious network activity and endpoint behavior detected
across the environment.
 Centralized Dashboards: Splunk and Kibana/Elastic dashboards for full-stack visibility,
correlating data from endpoint, network, and logs.
 Incident Analysis: Detailed write-ups on findings, alerts triggered, and response actions
taken.

Attack Scenarios:
1. Brute Force Attack: Simulate dictionary attacks on Azure services and endpoints.
2. Privilege Escalation: Detect attempts to escalate privileges on endpoints (using Sysmon and
LimaCharlie).
3. Suspicious Network Traffic: Zeek detects abnormal DNS and HTTP traffic patterns.
4. Persistence Mechanisms: Detect registry key modifications or startup folder changes (using
LimaCharlie and Sysmon).

Key Deliverables:
 Splunk & Elastic Dashboards: Visualizations of detection results and performance metrics.
 Custom Sigma Rules: Tailored detection rules for attacks like brute force or persistence.
 Incident Analysis Reports: Detailed analysis of incidents, including alerts triggered and
response actions.
 LimaCharlie Detection Rules: Proactive detection policies and rules for endpoint
monitoring.

This merged environment now includes a complete stack of tools for monitoring, detection,
forensics, vulnerability management, attack simulation, and incident response, providing a
robust setup for advanced threat hunting and cybersecurity operations.
