Advanced Linux Detection and Forensics Cheatsheet

Open Source Defensive Security Education Services

We offer advanced, hands-on cyber security training programs backed by PurpleLabs - a customized Open Source Cyber Range Environment enriched by modular, step-by-step Linux and Windows offensive/defensive labs.

PurpleLABS is a dedicated virtual detection infrastructure that offers full visibility across many critical security data sources including host and network layers. The platform is powered by a combination of different Linux/Windows adversary simulation hands-on exercises that include advanced enumeration, remote and local exploitation, C2, network exfiltration, and post-exploitation including rootkit source code analysis and operations, lateral movement and pivoting scenarios. 
You can use PurpleLABS as your stable and cheap R&D Cyber LAB for your own network security research needs or as a part of "Attack vs Detection"-style training programs where you will study hands-on material.
