Are you ready to master cyber threat intelligence analysis and build the skills needed to excel in a SOC environment? Cyber threat intelligence analysis is a critical discipline for defending against modern adversaries, and this workbook delivers a hands-on approach to learning. Threat intelligence analyst roles demand practical knowledge of frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, Diamond Model, and Cyber Kill Chain, and this book provides step-by-step exercises to apply them. With real-world SOC tradecraft, you'll learn to collect, analyze, and report on threats using a home lab you build yourself. This is not just theory—it's a practical guide to setting up your own environment for threat intelligence collection and analysis. You'll work through exercises that mirror actual SOC tasks, from identifying indicators of compromise to producing actionable intelligence reports. The book covers essential tools and techniques, including OSINT gathering, malware analysis fundamentals, and threat hunting methodologies. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced professional looking to formalize your skills, this workbook offers a structured path to proficiency. What you'll learn: Build a home lab for threat intelligence analysis using free and open-source tools Apply the MITRE ATT&CK framework to map adversary behaviors Use the Diamond Model for intrusion analysis Collect and analyze threat data from multiple sources Create professional intelligence reports for stakeholders Develop a threat hunting methodology The exercises are designed to be completed in a few hours each, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. By the end, you'll have a portfolio of work samples to demonstrate your skills to employers.
