Defensive Security with Kali Purple

Part 1:Introduction, History, and Installation

In this part, you’ll gain an understanding of how we got to be where we are today in the realm of cybersecurity. You’ll get a very brief history of technology developing alongside threats as well as solutions to those threats, resulting in the need for the cybersecurity toolsets we have today.

You’ll learn how to isolate a portion of your device (on any operating system) by using virtualization, so that you can set up your own Kali Purple instance and then install and configure your very own miniature SIEM with the ELK stack.

This part has the following chapters:

Key benefits

  • Gain practical experience in defensive security methods
  • Learn the correct process for acquiring, installing, and configuring a robust SOC from home
  • Create training scenarios for junior technicians and analysts using real-world cybersecurity utilities
  • Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Description

Defensive Security with Kali Purple combines red team tools from the Kali Linux OS and blue team tools commonly found within a security operations center (SOC) for an all-in-one approach to cybersecurity. This book takes you from an overview of today's cybersecurity services and their evolution to building a solid understanding of how Kali Purple can enhance training and support proof-of-concept scenarios for your technicians and analysts. After getting to grips with the basics, you’ll learn how to develop a cyber defense system for Small Office Home Office (SOHO ) services. This is demonstrated through the installation and configuration of supporting tools such as virtual machines, the Java SDK, Elastic, and related software. You’ll then explore Kali Purple’s compatibility with the Malcolm suite of tools, including Arkime, CyberChef, Suricata, and Zeek. As you progress, the book introduces advanced features, such as security incident response with StrangeBee’s Cortex and TheHive and threat and intelligence feeds. Finally, you’ll delve into digital forensics and explore tools for social engineering and exploit development. By the end of this book, you’ll have a clear and practical understanding of how this powerful suite of tools can be implemented in real-world scenarios.

Who is this book for?

This book is for entry-level cybersecurity professionals eager to explore a functional defensive environment. Cybersecurity analysts, SOC analysts, and junior penetration testers seeking to better understand their targets will find this content particularly useful. If you’re looking for a proper training mechanism for proof-of-concept scenarios, this book has you covered. While not a prerequisite, a solid foundation of offensive and defensive cybersecurity terms, along with basic experience using any Linux operating system, will make following along easier.

What you will learn

  • Set up and configure a fully functional miniature security operations center
  • Explore and implement the government-created Malcolm suite of tools
  • Understand traffic and log analysis using Arkime and CyberChef
  • Compare and contrast intrusion detection and prevention systems
  • Explore incident response methods through Cortex, TheHive, and threat intelligence feed integration
  • Leverage purple team techniques for social engineering and exploit development

Overall this is a good introduction to Kali Purple. It manages to strike a balance. It goes into a topic so you understand it and can go deeper as each tool can be a whole book on it's own. If you are a red team, blue team, or purple team member, this is a great addition to your bookshelf!

I am relatively new to Cybersecurity having traded my career in Criminal Justice for a career in Cybersecurity a little over a year ago. It is hard to find a balance with textbooks either being way to complex or just lacking the information I need to learn. This book is great for someone who needs to learn the fundamentals in order to advance their Cybersecurity knowledge. I have been recommending it to all of my friends who are trying to break into the field!

This book serves as a comprehensive guide for both seasoned professionals and newcomers eager to delve into the world of proactive cybersecurity.Strength:Clear and Concise Language: The author's writing style is approachable and easy to understand, making complex cybersecurity concepts accessible to a wider audience.Real-World Applicability: The book consistently emphasizes the practical application of purple teaming techniques in real-world scenarios. This focus on practicality ensures that readers can translate their knowledge into actionable skills.Areas for Improvement:Assumed Knowledge: While the book caters to entry-level professionals, a basic understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals and Linux is assumed. A more comprehensive introductory section could benefit readers with limited prior knowledge.
