Malware Analysis.

● Investigated computer system for Malware/Crypto Mining, in terms of source of the malware, and when it got discovered.

● Documented how it works, its scope, and the extent of impact. Did this by checking the number of devices affected, financial implications, and future outlook.

● Documented the technical findings from existing analysis and industry reports. Checked if the malware was remote or a local exploit, and how it was delivered, raw executable upload and phishing.

● Discussed containment and training strategies by recommending staff to be trained to look for malware signs such as slow computer performance, and updating all the affected software.

Red Team vs Blue Team

● Team lead for Blue Team. Our engagement was to investigate a log file done by the Red team, and then provide an audit of all encounters to help improve the system. Using our defensive tools (IDS and Wireshark) for log analysis, we were able to establish that the Red team was trying to Brute force the system and attempted to upload malicious software. We recommended upgrading the system and changing IDS policies. EXPERIENCE
