Introduction Just like my last two posts, today I’ll be going through Tata’s job simulation, also available through theforage.com. Where the Mastercard simulator focused on Phishing, and the Deloitte one had a focus on network logs, this simulator is more focused on Identity and Access Management. I’ve not heard of Tata before. After a quick search I found out they’re an Indian multinational. They look like a Tesla competitor based on how their EVs look. What the company does doesn’t really matter.

Extract insight from a set of flagged artefacts, and distil the information into usable threat intelligence. Back to TryHackMe once again! This time I’ll be focusing on a Blue-Team heavy challenge room - Invite Only. I’ve been trying to target more threat-hunting and defensive challenges lately, so this should be fun!

Practise your skills with example tasks and build your confidence to ace your applications. ...

The Brute it room on TryHackMe is an easy-level, brute-forcing focused room. From the amount of questions and questions it seems like a bit of a walkthrough, but that’s fine by me! Learn how to brute, hash cracking and escalate privileges in this box! Brute-forcing with hydra and cracking hashes with john are things I’ve done before. I’ve not escalated privileges all that often, so I’m excited to see how we can do this (Linpeas maybe? We’ll see!) ...
