Module 1: Introduction to SOC-200

Secrets of Success with SOC-200

Understand Offense to Improve Defense

We must understand how attacks are performed in order to detect and defend from them.

A Mindset of Learning

There's always someone better, i.e. you will never not have room to grow. Keep going.

Collect Data and Do Your Research

There's no way to cover everything in one course, collect your data and do the research to understand it.

Getting Started with SOC-200

The Course Structure

Like all the other OffSec courses. Read/watch the material, then practice it hands-on.

Lab Overview

The lab environment consists of several components:

1. A Kali Linux virtual machine (VM)

2. The Online Portal

3. A collection of machines running in the lab

4. A VPN connection from the Kali VM to the lab environment

Connecting to the VPN

Use openvpn to start the connection.

Disconnecting from the VPN

Just ctrl+c the running process or kill it some other way.
