Working on something new for aspiring SOC analysts who have spent months learning but still do not feel confident investigating when there is no walkthrough or answer key.
The goal...help you become the kind of analyst who can take an unfamiliar alert and know how to work the problem.
We got our first official giveaway entry in the books! As a reminder, 3 lucky winners will get 3 months of access to the MYDFIR Forge which will allow you to build some pretty sweet SOC skills.
🎉 Almost one year ago, I launched the MYDFIR Forge.
To celebrate, I’m doing a giveaway tied to the FREE Wazuh SOC Analyst Challenge, and I’ll explain how to enter in tomorrow’s YouTube video (Friday, July 31).
A fun fact many of you may not know…
MYDFIR came from combining two things: my last name, Mah (which sounds like “my”), and my passion for DFIR (Digital Forensics & Incident Response).
The tagline “Do Things DFIRINTLY” also has two meanings.
The obvious one is that I wanted to build something different. Throughout my career, I saw too much ego, too many people unwilling to help others, and too much expensive training that didn’t provide enough value. MYDFIR was my way of changing that.
The second meaning is hidden in the spelling. DFIR is at the core of what we do, while INT is a nod to Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) another area I’m excited to continue exploring.
Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey over the past year. It means more than you know.
I’ll see you tomorrow for the introduction of the Wazuh SOC Analyst Challenge and the anniversary giveaway! 💛
Just did a live session with our members inside the free community! We went over an alert from our Forge SOC and tackled it together as a team. If you haven't already joined the free community I highly recommend it! But be warned, I may throw you into one of these alerts heheheh 👀👀
A member started the year with 4 goals: pass BTL1, pass SC-200, land real SOC work, keep leveling up as an analyst.
6 months later: both certs passed, MSSP SOC role landed, probation cleared with strong feedback, and he just accepted an offer for a more senior internal SOC role that starts next week.
In his words:
"The MyDFIR labs, SOC Simulator, and report writing practice have genuinely helped me build confidence and improve how I approach real alerts at work."
FYI I’ll be doing live bi weekly hangout sessions inside my free community every Saturday and i’ll be alternating the times to try and accommodate folks in different timezones. (Next one is on July 11th at 10-11am Eastern, then July 25th at 2-3pm Eastern). These sessions are a way for me to connect and learn more about you. We’ll also do some adhoc workshops as well in the future 💪.
Time really flies when you’re having fun doing what you love!
Thank you all for tuning in, supporting the channel, and being part of this journey. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just recently discovered the content, I truly appreciate every view, comment, and conversation.
Be on the lookout for more project videos and live streams on YouTube. I’ve got a lot of hands-on content in the works 🙌
