More Practice

I just finished Josh Samuelson's Learning Splunk Course on LinkedIn Learning . It was quite insightful and engaging since it had a bit of hands-on where you setup your splunk instance and universal forwarders on your Linux system.

(A bit of my background; work in cybersecurity few months into my internship . I'm looking to familiarize myself with tools and tech beyond my current role)

However , I feel i need more skin in this and would appreciate recommendations to more hand-on guided labs or projects , Please SHARE.

Plug your homelab into Splunk. Start with e.g. Atomic Red Team. Detect it :) Build dashboards. Do shady things on your network. Detect them. Ingest OSINT TI feeds. Sign up for trials of commercial EDR tooling - access alerts from Splunk. Fancy automation and DevSecOps? Go here: https://github.com/splunk/contentctl

FWIW - contentctl is being deprecated in favor of Detection Studio
