🧠 Log Analysis + Wazuh Integration — Hands-On Mini Lab for Blue Teamers 🚀

Just finished going through this practical guide on Linux & Windows log analysis with Wazuh and it’s one of the clearest step-by-step walkthroughs I’ve seen for juniors and SOC beginners.

Here’s what you’ll practice inside the PDF:

🔹 Linux Log Analysis

Exploring key log files under /var/log (boot, cron, secure, mail, httpd, messages)
Verifying package installation logs via apt
Reviewing firewall activity with UFW logs

🔹 Windows Event Log Analysis

Enabling audit policies via Local Security Policy
Using Event Viewer to track security events (e.g. 4625, 4776)
Simulating RDP brute-force attempts and interpreting the resulting logs

🔹 Wazuh Integration (SIEM)

Configuring ossec.conf for Linux & Windows log collection
Validating events in the Wazuh dashboard (Threat Hunting & Discover views)
Correlating firewall, package, and authentication events across hosts

🎯 Great for:
Students, SOC interns, junior analysts, and anyone who wants a lab-style intro to log analysis + Wazuh without getting lost in theory.

📘 I’ve attached the PDF — worth saving if you’re building your Blue Team fundamentals or preparing for SOC roles.
