Most unauthorised access is a permission nobody tightened, not a bug anybody exploited. Audit a world-readable secret in a web root, NTFS inheritance that was never broken, a umask that quietly undoes every chmod, and a group-writable file that root executes - and score points for correctly clearing the modes that only LOOK alarming.
Most intrusions are won on identity: a permanent Domain Admin that reads email, a service account nobody rotates, a vault that reports 100% coverage while credentials slip past it, a wildcard cloud policy with an iam:PassRole escalation, and a just-in-time model that approves itself. Judge the real over-grants - and score points for leaving the privileged controls that only LOOK alarming, like a break-glass account or a conditioned wildcard.
Triage endpoint detections: investigate process trees and telemetry, classify true vs false positives, and choose the right containment and response actions.
Hunt WLAN threats from scan and capture data: detect rogue and evil-twin APs, deauth floods, and weak encryption, classify each finding, and choose the right containment and hardening response.

Wireshark-style challenges analyzing PCAPs to detect port scans, data exfiltration, and covert tunneling.

Procedurally generated Windows events simulating brute force, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and log tampering.
Image a company Android phone and hunt for hidden stalkerware: analyze SMS, contacts, and app-data artifacts to identify an unauthorized monitoring app, the sensitive permissions it abused, and where it exfiltrated data.
A departing engineer's Windows laptop is seized for a deadbox investigation. Image the drive through a write-blocker and analyze USBSTOR, AmCache/ShimCache, Prefetch, $MFT, ShellBags, and browser history to determine what ran, what device was attached, and how data left the building.
The network sensor at Tidewater Municipal Utility flags periodic outbound traffic from an HMI/OT workstation. Analyze a packet list, Zeek conn/dns/ssl logs, and a decoded proxy log to determine whether it's benign telemetry or C2 beaconing, identify the exfiltration channel, and quantify what left the network.
Ember Robotics' EDR quarantines a binary masquerading as a Windows service, carrying a revoked code-signing certificate. Statically triage file hashes, the certificate chain, PE import/entropy data, extracted strings, and a redacted sandbox report to identify the packed payload, the masquerading technique, and blockable IOCs, without ever detonating the file.

An OSWE-style white-box web app security review: read fictional source code to identify an authentication bypass, a second-order SQL injection, and an insecure deserialization flaw, reason through the exploitation logic, and choose the correct remediation.
GRC work is hands-on; the hands are just on evidence rather than a terminal. Judge an access-review evidence bundle against ISO/IEC 27001, fix a risk register that credits a quarterly checklist with reducing impact, scope a PCI DSS assessment and settle GDPR controller roles, then work the notification clocks on a breach as the facts arrive over nine days.
Write the rule, not the ticket. Author Sigma and KQL detections against real adversary telemetry, then have them scored on true positives AND false positives against a held-out benign data set - with the exact benign event that tripped your rule named for you.

Detect hidden data in images, audio, and files using steganographic analysis and covert channel identification.
A logistics company confirms a breach. Assemble one authoritative timeline from four independent evidence bundles, email, endpoint/EDR, network, and identity/VPN, to find initial access, persistence, and the exfiltration channel, then determine root cause and scope.
A departing systems administrator at the fictional Ironvale Credit Union self-escalates into a privileged group, bulk-exports customer and HR data after hours, and clears the Windows Security log to cover his tracks, only for a second telemetry channel (Sysmon) to survive. Reconstruct the abuse and choose a response that preserves the case.
Brightline Media Group captures a RAM image from a compromised editing workstation mid-incident. Analyze simulated Volatility output, pslist vs. psscan, malfind, netscan, and LSASS handles, to unmask a hidden process, its injection technique, its credential-theft evidence, and its C2 endpoint.
At 06:00 the SOC at the fictional Solstice Retail Group is flooded with mass file-rename alerts and ransom notes spreading across three network segments. Trace patient-zero from a phishing macro, reconstruct the WMI/SMB propagation and shadow-copy destruction, and choose containment that preserves evidence instead of paying the ransom.
