I would not have been able to download sysmon without this instruction. Humble bow.

[@MyDFIR]

Happy to help!

[@TediousSecurity]

I've been on the swiftonsecurity github trying to install this for a bit longer than I'd care to admit and this one finally worked so thank you.

[@MyDFIR]

Glad this worked!

[@Marcus-dx6fc]

bro you are amazing thank you for these tutorials. Having this configured on my Windows 10 Edu VM was satisfying to complete. Thanks!

[@MyDFIR]

Great job!! Always happy to help :)

Thank you!

[@jaiepramoth2906]

Recently i have been watching your videos , I lack many things in the field. So decided to learn from your channel. can you tell me which video or playlist I should start from. Active directory or automation projects , or else Soc videos

[@MyDFIR]

Hey! Welcome and absolutely. I have 2 playlists that I've created to help people focus on either Projects or SOC related labs. Depending on your objective, you can start with either or. SOC Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLG6KGSNK4PuDdqYkOuIlAoNmwtLg5wyYJ Project Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLG6KGSNK4PuBWmX9NykU0wnWamjxdKhDJ

[@jaiepramoth2906]

Thanks mate

[@whoami-ty1kp]

So the logs sysmon captures. Do they go to windows event logs?

[@MyDFIR]

Sysmon has its own event log provider that can be found using windows event viewer

[@iftikharahmed2047]

@MyDFIR sir i am facing this Issue after installation Sysmon(event viewer cannot open the event log or custom view. Access is denied (5))

[@MyDFIR]

Try opening event viewer with administrative privileges

[@iftikharahmed2047]

@@MyDFIR Thanks sir i did this yesterday.

[@otobongekanem9532]

Can you make a video on how to get splunk for low graded pc's 4gb ram to be precise

[@MyDFIR]

Hey! I will create a video in the future on how to get Splunk up and running but for a 4 GB RAM machine Splunk likely will not perform as expected. However, I would recommend instead looking into TryHackMe to see if there are labs specific to Splunk if that is what you are interested.

[@johnvardy9559]

on real world do you work on sysmon?

[@MyDFIR]

Yup! It is rare but I’ve been into some incidents with Sysmon installed. Absolutely loved it.

[@johnvardy9559]

@@MyDFIR great, as a beginner and researcher due to lof of stuffs its hurt to clarify what you need on everyday tasks.Also could you explain between suricata,wazuh or even snort which is used which you have to know?

[@MyDFIR]

@@johnvardy9559 Yeah I wouldn't stress too much on individual tools instead I would look at it in a different angle. For example: Pick a category such as IDS and learn ONE tool as the concept will be the same, just the tool syntax is different. Once you learn that one tool, move onto a different category like EDR or SIEM. In your example, snort & suricata will fall under the IDS category. Learn either one of them and you'll understand the concept of how IDS works. Whereas Wazuh, its an XDR with a SIEM component to it. They are all used in real world environments but I see less of Wazuh. Hope that helps!
