🚀 Daily Cybersecurity Insight: The Role of Social Engineering in Cybersecurity 🔒 As a Jr. Penetration Tester, understanding social engineering tactics is crucial. These techniques exploit human psychology to gain unauthorized access to systems and data. 🔍 Key Social Engineering Tactics: 1. Phishing: Fraudulent emails or messages to trick recipients into revealing personal information. 2. Pretexting: Creating a fabricated scenario to obtain confidential information. 3. Baiting: Offering something enticing to lure victims into a trap. 4. Tailgating: Gaining physical access by following an authorized person into a secure area. Being aware of these tactics helps in devising better defense mechanisms and training programs to protect against social engineering attacks. #Cybersecurity #PenetrationTesting #InfoSec #EthicalHacking #CyberDefense #TechTips

🚀 Cybersecurity Lab Update: Honeypot Deployment with Cowrie 🛡️ I'm excited to share a recent project I completed as part of my cyber security studies. I had the opportunity to use Cowrie, a popular honeypot tool, to simulate and analyze brute force attacks in a controlled environment. This lab allowed me to: 🔍 Deploy a Honeypot: Set up Cowrie to mimic a vulnerable system and attract potential attackers. 👨💻 Simulate Brute Force Attacks: Observe and analyze how attackers attempt to gain unauthorized access, providing insights into their methods and techniques. 📊 Enhance Threat Detection Skills: Learn how to detect and respond to brute force attacks, improving my ability to defend real-world systems. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of attacker behaviors and fortified my skills in proactive threat detection. I'm eager to apply these insights in a professional setting and contribute to a secure digital environment. #CyberSecurity #Honeypot #BruteForce #ThreatDetection #Cowrie #CyberSecurityTraining #Infosec

Day 15/365 - A deep dive into Threats Intel Today, I tackled the last Cyber Threat Intelligence room which was Trooper on TryHackMe, working through a scenario where a multinational tech company was under attack. My task as a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst was to investigate the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) of APT X, also known as Tropic Trooper. I discovered that this threat group used spear-phishing emails as part of their phishing campaign and deployed USBferry malware. For initial access, they employed the technique of Replication through removable media. By analysing their behaviour in OpenCTI, I learned that Tropic Trooper has 39 attack pattern techniques linked to them, and they commonly use the tool BITSAdmin. In the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator, I found that under Valid Accounts, they leverage Local Accounts, falling under tactics like Initial Access, Persistence, Defense Evasion, and Privilege Escalation. They're also known for using Automated Collection under the Collection Tactic. This experience was a great reminder of how valuable it is to understand threat actor behaviour in detail. Mapping out TTPs is essential for building strong defenses. 🔐💻 Now, I'm excited to begin a new topic on Network Security and Traffic Analysis! My focus will be on understanding the core concepts of network security and learning how to spot and probe network anomalies using the industry tools and techniques. #Cybersecurity #TryHackMe #TrooperRoom #TropicTrooper #ThreatIntelligence #CTI #MITREATTACK #OpenCTI #LearningJourney #365DayChallenge

Are you holding off on making more money for yourself? Waiting for that perfect time to invest in yourself inside of cyber security? Well….. There is no perfect time to invest in yourself. The best time to do it was yesterday which you said you would do but that was 30 yesterdays ago. The second best time to take a leap is today. Jamelle Sparrow understood this very well. Once she decided that we were the group of people to help her skyrocket her career in SIEM engineering she made that investment with no hesitation at all. Don’t fall into the trap of trying to wait for the perfect time to take that leap. Because there isn't one. If you are interested in learning more about Jamelle's story and what made her take that leap check out the video in the comments. 👇🏿 And if you're ready to take your career to the next level when it comes to SIEM and SOAR DM me with the phrase “Jointhedarkside” to start the conversation. #cybersecurity #ellingtoncyberacademy #engineering #siem

In cybersecurity, an organization’s “attack surface” is the total number of possible entry points for unauthorized access to it. 🔐 Minimizing the attack surface is an important objective of a security engineer or architect. In order to minimize it, we must understand what it is. 🕵🏾♀️ We can begin to analyze an organization’s attack surface by gathering information about the following. 👉 The organization's technology infrastructure, including hardware, software and networks 👉 System users 👉 Policies, and procedures implemented within the organization Interested in learning more? 🤓 Join me (https://lnkd.in/g9P7bisU) this Thursday (August 22) for a PurePoint International #ConsciouslySecureLeadership X Space discussion about attack surface analysis. ⭐️ #cybersecurity

I've been reflecting on my three-year journey in Cybersecurity and assessing the essential factors that can contribute towards having a successful career within the industry. One of the ways in which you can do this is to have a strong foundational knowledge of networks! A solid understanding of how computers communicate with other computers and how the internet works. It's also important to understand the IT infrastructure of the organisation you are working for and the traffic flow into the organisation. Understand how to use the diagnostic tools available and be open to using more than one tool to debug an issue. You need to be good at identifying correlations between the different tools to build a bigger picture of the cyber incident at hand. #womenintech #earlycareers #womeninstem #stemcareers #womenincyber
