SOC Analyst building an AWS cloud SOC lab with Terraform and Wazuh to detect simulated attacks.
What I'm looking for
I provisioned an AWS Cloud SOC Lab with Terraform, deployed a test Python web application on Ubuntu EC2, and configured JSON logs for centralized collection in Wazuh. I also created and validated a custom detection rule for a simulated path traversal attack.
In my ongoing DFIR Investigation Casebook, I investigate incidents using logs, forensic artifacts, and indicators of compromise, then document findings in structured reports and map attacker behavior to MITRE ATT&CK where applicable. I hold CompTIA Security+ and TryHackMe Security Analyst Level 1 certifications, and I'm seeking an SOC Analyst or Junior Security Analyst role.
