Log Hunt: Find the Attack in the Log

How it works

Each case is a short log, connection list or email header. Step 1: tap every line that is part of the attack. Step 2: say what the attack is. You get a point for the lines (half a point if you found some without crying wolf) and a point for the name. Then you see which lines mattered, why, and the StashGrid lab that teaches it. Everything here is made up: the addresses come from the ranges reserved for documentation and the domains end in .test or example.com.

I hid the bad lines in plain sight. Real attackers are less polite: they hide them in 40,000 lines and a time zone you forgot to convert. — Nyx
