SOC Analyst Training (5.2) - Web Attack Detection: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) & Command Injection

Welcome back to Course 5: Web Attack Detection in the Let’s Defend SOC Analyst Learning Path! In this video, we’ll explore two common web attacks: 1️⃣ Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): What it is, how to identify it, and how to investigate malicious scripts. 2️⃣ Command Injection Attacks: How unauthorized system commands are executed and what patterns to look for. I’ll also walk through hands-on labs to analyze web access logs, spotting attack patterns and investigating security threats. This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about figuring it out together. 🎥 If you missed Part 1 (SQL Injections, OWASP & more), check it out to get the full context of web attack detection techniques. Stay tuned for Part 3, where we’ll dive into IDOR, RFI, and LFI attacks!
