Many courses don't cover ETW. Even top paid courses that are in high demand skip this useful artifact. 🛡️🔍

Most defenders only use Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) for basic SIEM logging. But when you weaponize it with the right toolkit, it becomes a powerful asset to hunt down sophisticated threats.

Here is what a Senior SOC Analyst says about our specialized mini-course:

"Before this module, my knowledge of Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) was primarily limited to its role in logging for SIEMs and Windows Event Forwarding. This module introduced me to several new tools such as WPA, WPR, PerfView, and Logman... Think of it as a SRUM on steroids. In this course we use WPA to hunt down code injection technique (DLL injection)."

If you are a SOC analyst, DFIR practitioner, or threat hunter, stop skipping this critical artifact. Learn how to use WPR and WPA to analyze kernel logs and hunt down advanced code injections.

Master Malware Detection with YARA 101 🛡️🔍

YARA is one of the most widely used tools for identifying and classifying malware based on patterns instead of relying only on hashes. This guide introduces the fundamentals you need to start writing effective detection rules.

What you’ll learn:
• How YARA rules are structured and organized
• How to define and use strings for detection
• How conditions work to control rule logic and accuracy
• How to reduce noise and improve detection quality

If you're starting in malware analysis or threat hunting, this is a solid foundation for building reliable detection logic.

⚠️ Threat Hunting in a Game of Thrones-style cyber battlefield ⚠️

This is not theory. It’s a full Active Directory attack simulation using GOAD where you hunt real attacker behavior from start to finish.

🔥 You’ll work with: Zeek, Sliver C2, YARA, Velociraptor, BloodHound, and real attack techniques like injection, privilege escalation, WebShells, and exfiltration.

⚠️ Note: No lab is included — GOAD must be installed on your side before starting.

Built for SOC analysts, DFIR, and threat hunters who want real-world skills, not theory.
