Cybrary Challenges

You receive an alert about a suspicious command execution on a Windows endpoint. Early analysis suggests PowerShell has not locked down appropriately. Can you validate if anything malicious is underway? Now that you have some basic information discovered, dive deeper into the suspicious command to identify the attacker's infrastructure and setup!

Threat actors commonly use legitimate tools in nefarious ways. As a CTF player, you’ll need to find creative ways to uncover these types of tactics. While evaluating a recent alert in your EDR, you’ve come across a weird string at the end of a powershell command. Can you help figure out what it’s trying to say?

Threat actors commonly use file types in creative ways. As a CTF player, you must discover a mysterious file artifact and investigate its hidden treasure!

Adversaries commonly use encoding, encryption, and hashing to obscure their scripts and attacks. As a CTF player, you will need to analyze alerts and uncover the true nature of a suspicious string embedded in a file. Can you help figure out what it’s trying to say?

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month has several themes, one of which is Phishing Awareness. This phishing challenge will have you analyze a real phish caught in the wild! The goal is to identify exactly why it was flagged as a phish and gain hands-on skills to validate a suspicious email!

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month has several themes, one of which is Password Complexity Awareness. This password challenge will have you analyze a password and validate if it is secure. The goal is to attempt to crack a password and gain hands-on skills to evaluate the importance of password complexity for real-world use cases.

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month has several themes, one of which is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This MFA challenge will have you analyze a log and identify the potential MFA attack. The goal is to review suspicious requests and identify how MFA can be attacked in real-world use cases.

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month has four themes; the last being 'Update Your Software.' This challenge will have you analyze a log and identify a web application attack. The goal is to piece together the narrative from the suspicious requests and understand how attacks like these can happen when you do not update your software.
