Live purple teaming exercise | HTB Detection & OpSec Cyber Range demo

The new detection and OPSAC cyber range from Hack the Box provides a safe, sandboxed environment for both red and blue teamers to practice offensive and defensive security techniques using pre-loaded tools like Atomic Red Team and MITRE TTPs. 0:30

Key Takeaways:
• The cyber range includes two flavors: one with Splunk and one with Wazu for log analysis and threat hunting 1:50.
• Both Windows and Linux VMs are pre-loaded with offensive and defensive tools, including Atomic Red Team, enabling realistic attack simulations and detection exercises 2:06.
• Users can detect T1014 (Linux) and T1136 (Windows) by analyzing system calls in Splunk logs, demonstrating real-time detection of malicious activities 3:07.
• The range supports unscripted experimentation, allowing users to test custom payloads or port scans and observe real-time network behavior in Splunk or Wazu 20:55.

This cyber range is designed to bridge learning gaps in detection engineering and threat hunting through hands-on, realistic scenarios without risking production environments. 24:00
