🚀 Challenge Time: Build Real Cybersecurity Skills with 20 Hands-On Projects
Hey everyone 👋
If you’re serious about becoming a SOC Analyst or Cybersecurity Professional, this is your chance to build real hands-on experience not just theory.
I came across this awesome list of projects that help you practice real SOC skills:
Here are a few ideas to start with 👇
- 🧠 Password Strength Tester (Python)
- 🔍 Simple Vulnerability Scanner (Nmap + Bash)
- 🧩 File Integrity Monitoring
- ⚙️ Wazuh SIEM Setup
- 🧑💻 Network Traffic Analysis (Wireshark/Zeek)
- 🛡️ IDS/IPS Setup (Snort/Suricata)
- 🚨 Incident Response Simulation (TheHive + Cortex)
- 🌐 Threat Intelligence Dashboard (MISP + Elastic)
- 🔒 Security Onion Monitoring Lab
💪 How to get the most out of this:
1) Pick one project from the list.
2) Set up your lab environment and start experimenting.
3) Document everything — screenshots, what you learned, and results.
4) Post your progress here so we can all learn together.
5) Add it to your GitHub or resume — show real, practical experience.
Let’s make this a mini-challenge 🔥
Drop a comment below with which project you’re starting and what tools you’ll use.
We can help each other troubleshoot, share results, and grow together 💻🛡️
