I'm currently going through SANS Bachelor's Program and I agree that the caliber of instruction is magnificent.

I'm sure it's fantastic.Jaw-droppingly, eye-wateringly, infuriatingly expensive, though, as is everything they offer. I'm clenching my jaw just thinking about it.

Hello Eric,

The SOC analyst series is excellent! I'm about halfway through it. I was wondering, for when I'm done, if I wanted to describe the things I did in it for my resume, what exactly would I say in those 2-3 lines? Thanks in advance!

Hello Eric, Do you have a class where you train folks from start to finish until they land the job? Thanks

Sorry, not yet for a live online course... We do have a couple related courses coming up though, one at Blackhat (closely related to this blog series content) and one at WWHF (threat hunting with Velociraptor).

Hey Eric! I hope you see this. Thank you for this lab but I'm having trouble at the setup attack system step in part 1. I enter the command ssh user@[Linux_VM_IP] and then say yes to add it. But my password says permission denied. Ive restarted the entire Ubuntu process twice and tried making a new pass but still no luck. I don't think im using the wrong IP address so idk what's wrong. Is it the Static IP with the /24 on it? Thanks!

Can this lab set up work on M2 mac pro also can use VMware Fusion Pro 13 Mac OS to set up this lab?

Sadly, no. The VMs used in this guide require x86/64 processors.

I have a mac M1 and just wanted to know if this lab is possible to do with my system? I really want to do it, but unfortunately I don't have a windows computer.

Sadly I do not think this lab will work on an M1... These VMs expect an x86/x64 processor.

So using parallels won't work? Great post either way.

Correct. Even with parallels, you can only virtualize ARM-based OSes which these are not. That's not to say it can't be done with ARM OSes, but this guide doesn't follow those steps -- you'd have to venture out and give it a shot.

I'll give it a try. Thank you for responding.

It could be on a Linux host, I assume.
