Appendix – The State of the Hunt

To get the most out of this book

Although alternatives for those that can't build their own server are provided in Chapter 7, Creating a Research Environment, to get the most out of this book, you will need your own server with VMware EXSI.

The minimum server requirements are as follows:

4–6 cores
16–32 GB RAM
50 GB - 1 TB of storage space

Nevertheless, you could still go through almost all the exercises of the book with an ELK/HELK instance and Mordor datasets. Other Splunk alternatives are also referenced in Chapter 7, Creating a Research Environment.

You will carry out advanced hunting using MITRE ATT&CK Evals emulations using Mordor datasets.

Being familiar with the MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise matrix would be a great advantage while using the book.
