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.

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!

Nicholas Carpenter Sep 12, 2024

As someone new to the cyber severity field. I found this book very interesting and informative. It has refreshed my drive and passion to learn more about this career path I’m on and advance my knowledge to the next level. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

I'm now branching into YouTube videos to get familiar with the tools and reading other related material, including setting up a test lab. Let the fun begin.
