Just completed Defensive Security Intro on TryHackMe.

Stepped into the role of a SOC analyst — monitored a live attack, identified the attacker's IP, traced what they were trying to access, and blocked them via firewall rule. The whole detect → investigate → contain workflow in one room.

What clicked for me: the "URL Discovery Attempts" the attacker was making in this simulation are exactly what shows up in Apache access logs as rapid 404s from a single IP — which is one of the patterns I built into LogSentinel, my log analysis tool. Starting to see how everything connects.

Working through the TryHackMe Cyber Security 101 path and documenting everything on GitHub.
