This is an actual “Day in the Life of a SOC Analyst” video. Not the ones dragging us along from their beds to breakfast to transportation to the office to breakfast in the office to typing profusely on their screen to muted calls to waving at colleagues to back home commute
I try to summarize/highlight the exciting parts (exciting to me) of the job 😅
Oh lord, some people really love to tell their audience how many pots of coffee they drank before noon!
Ik exactly who u are talking about. I dont know why i just found this guy yesterday. Useful content 👌🏽
best cybersecurity channel on youtube, honestly. So real and great to gain actual insight in a SOC. keep it up
Thank you!! ☺Feedback is much appreciated 💚I'll keep trying to release helpful and/or entertaining videos.

Don't be too hard on yourself. You got a chance to be part of a learning experience that helped everyone on the response team grow it sounds like.
I hope that's how my boss sees it 😅 my wife says I'm the most self deprecating person she knows, so it's hard...
Don’t be sorry just don’t do it again! 😅 sounds like a rough day.
Thank you for sharing this experience with us. You had my palms sweaty, the way you share the story makes me feel like going through it myself. You should be thankful the company you work for is doing exercises like these!
You missed something: You just became more valuable to the company.
Because I now know how to examine processes better? I hope my boss shares your sentiment 🥲
Great vid! I'ma inspiring SOC analyst halfway thru my bas n cyber...I'm Soo paranoid bout how to read logs, and wat actual alerts mean...
Thank you for watching! Keep studying! Learn from my mistakes 😅 and what is baseline normal behavior vs odd. Sometimes the behavior is only slightly off 🙃
Great video mad hat. Im glad you have friendly analyst who is willing to help you out.
Thanks for sharing, brother. Helpful insight!
Thank you for watching! 😁
I absolutely love your vids man, they are so insightful, thoroughly thought through like the research on the best certs around. And they are fun to watch, love the energy and enthusiasm, its a bit contagious.....the ultimate virus!
As also a cybersecurity analyst in my first years, I can relate to this so much. Keep the videos going mate
These real things are more interesting than ctfs. Love to watch🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just wanna say: great content dude!
Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback! 💚
I think it would be worth having more conversations with the red team for sure. Thanks for sharing your experience, this was insightful
Thank you for watching! A senior analyst was allowed to shadow them as they worked so hopefully pull useful notes to correct the vulnerabilities. My boss said the red teamer was "very good at his job" 😅
@@madhatistaken Yes they clearly are good at their job.
This video reminded me of that book called The Phoenix Project.
Don’t beat yourself up man! A mistake is only a failure if nothing was learned from it.
Good stuff
You are a brave man 😃
If you were the least familiar with the system, it makes perfect sense they chose you (always test the weakest link, so to speak).
As for the follow-up… it sounds like a dream come true. Of course, it’s easier for me to be so enthusiastic about it as I didn’t sit in your chair. If I ever get a job in cybersecurity I think I will wear adult size nappies for a good while 🤣 The responsibility is HUGE.
Thanks for sharing 😊
My boss and coworkers explained similar situations they had in the past and to take it as a learning opportunity. The longer I work/talk with "security professionals" the more normal my hyper anxiety and self doubt seems to be in this industry 😅 but I'm getting more comfortable in my knowledge. Best of luck in your cybersecurity pursuits!
@@madhatistaken You know best, but you come across not only as super- knowledgeable gentleman, but a person who is anything but anxious. I do heart what you’re saying, though 😄
Has this made you question all your alerts now?
Not all, but a few that I couldn't find the "smoking gun" give me night sweats 😅
Don't worry it doesn't sound like you were the problem it's sounds like Windows was the problem, I hope your company learn from this exercise and deprecate it.
I mean there is a risk in every job. You are human and will make mistakes. Ahhh they used silent injection technique. Surprised that slipped by ya(I mean because of your CS role, not talking bad about you), I honestly do not know how to detect it, just use it for malicious uses. This was highly useful for me, to watch, thanks. I enjoy learning things like this as it completes the other half of what it is and how to find it and helps me learn.LOL@python script hahaha man I know must have hurt your soul brother.
Malicious DLL injections, so, you mean the DLL that is loaded form the EXE was also infected? I rather respect your insight and joking about yourself after this, I would keep you on board with your character than a know it all who thinks they are never wrong.
Isn't zoom huge security vulnerability?
It can be 😅
My dawg can we get an update?! Pls?
U r rad ☣️
I'm not fired yet 😅😅 I've been hard at work tuning SIEM rules, might release a video going over that or maybe another random skit...🤔
Thanks man look forward to the next vid
@@madhatistakenbut that really sucks for people to get fired that are just learning. That sort of thing doesn’t sound fair otherwise how would employers be able to keep cyber security employees.
Wow
very hard to like the video however I am lead to believe that there is a %66 job satisfaction amongst cyber security professionals... I assume that your among the ones who are not too happy so how did you get roped into cyber security and why cant you do another job?
