SOC Analyst Projects

Maybe you’re in college, or transitioning from the military, or maybe you’re from another area of IT, or just maybe you’re just teaching yourself... projects are a big part of any training for a SOC analyst. Some of these are challenging, and some are a little easier but there are three here to teach you practical skills that you’ll need to have as a SOC analyst.

1. Cryptography

There are three cipher-texts that you will turn back into plaintext. One of these cipher texts lead you to particular places that might not be so friendly. Do NOT access from work or using work resources. Be extra careful with links. If you are unsure how to safely handle clicking on links, please do your research prior to following the rabbit hole.

Good luck — Be safe
