SOC desk: alert triage

Work a queue of security alerts like an analyst: read the logs, the process tree and the message, decide whether each alert is real, map it to ATT&CK and choose the response.

Level: Beginner to advancedSkills: Triage, investigation, response

Runs locallyInvented data. Progress is kept only in this browser.

Alert desk: Kuzey Lojistik A.Ş.

SimulationSimulated data: invented company, people, addresses and logs.

How the shift works
  1. Pick an alert from the queue. Its clock starts and it moves to In progress.
  2. Read the summary, logs, process tree, message or network evidence and the context. Mark the log lines your decision rests on.
  3. Decide: true or false positive, the ATT&CK technique and the response. Write a short analyst note.
  4. The result card shows the score and why. When every alert of a level is closed, the shift report and the .txt incident report appear.

Scoring per alert: verdict 40, technique 20, response 30, evidence 10. Each playbook hint costs 3 points.

Company documents: Kuzey Lojistik A.Ş.

Kuzey Lojistik is an invented freight and warehousing company with its head office in Istanbul and a warehouse in Gebze. Read these pages before you judge an alert: many false positives are explained by a change record, an approved tool or a person's normal working pattern.

Alert queue

20 alerts

Pick an alert from the queue. Its clock starts the moment you open it and its status becomes In progress.

Shift report

When every alert of a level is closed, that level's shift report appears here.

Every lab uses invented data and simulates defence work only. Do not test systems you do not own or have written permission to test: unlawful access to an information system is an offence (Turkish Penal Code art. 243).
