Current focus

What I'm working on right now
Threat Intelligence Lab: MISP Containerization
Deployed a localized Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP) via Docker Compose on an Ubuntu core VM. Configured system resource scaling to support heavy multi-threaded expansion modules and solved container network routing loops.
Threat Intel Docker Ubuntu Core DevSecOps
Completed
Elastic Stack: Winlogbeat → Elasticsearch → Kibana
End-to-end log ingestion by configuring Winlogbeat to ship Windows Event Logs into Elasticsearch with centralized visualization and hunting in Kibana.
Elastic Windows Logs Pipeline
In progress

Ideas welcome

If you have an authorized lab or a learning path you think I should run, send it to me. I'm especially interested in realistic SOC scenarios and detection validation.
