This pathway was created for newly employed SA.
- Learning Process: this could apply to any learning process, not just cybersec - Intro to Network Traffic Analysis: tcpdump/wireshark - Using Web Proxies: It is not unusual that you have to boost up Burp to when analyzing phishing sites or suspicious website. - JavaScript Obfuscation: Obfuscated code is one of the methods the attacker used to evade detection. This Module only focuses on JavaScript but the knowledge/methodology could apply to any programming lang - Shell & Payload: How can we defend our client if we don't know how the attacker gain initial access - File Transfer: Malware + Attacker are using it to download 2nd stage malware, download additional payload, or exfiltrated data out of the victim's network. - Windows Fundamental: Good to know Windows processes/services which will help you when analyzing EDR alerts

Network traffic analysis is used by security teams to monitor network activity and look for anomalies that could indicate security and operational issues. Offensive security practitioners can use network traffic analysis to search for sensitive data such as credentials, hidden applications, reachable network segments, or other potentially sensitive information "on the wire." Network traffic analysis has many uses for attackers and defenders alike.
