TryHackMe: Summit – SOC Analyst Project Documentation

Module Name:

TryHackMe – Summit

Hands-On Skills Learned:

• Investigated a simulated cyber attack using real-world artifacts
• Analyzed logs (browser history, PowerShell, email metadata)
• Used the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework to map adversary behaviors
• Identified key Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)
• Practiced report writing and incident analysis

What This Module Taught Me:

This room taught me how to:

• Piece together a phishing attack timeline
• Trace attacker movement through system logs
• Detect persistence and privilege escalation
• Think critically and write solid incident reports

Why This Is Important for a SOC Analyst:

• Detecting phishing and credential theft is crucial in real SOC work
• Understanding attacker behavior helps reduce dwell time
• Applying MITRE ATT&CK improves threat hunting and detection rules
• Strong documentation guides faster remediation and response
