There's a lot of talk about good and bad use of ChatGPT, but in this course we will dig into using ChatGPT to do some hands on introductory SOC analyst/incident response work, starting with basic packet analysis and moving to basic reverse engineering of a piece of malware. ChatGPT will be our guide as we do simple and intermediate level Wireshark packet analysis. We will reconstruct an entire attack and exfiltration campaign, then determine the exact commands used by the attacker. This work usually requires in-depth knowledge of SOC analyst and incident response tools, and of attack patterns in general, but we will see how having a subject matter expert create ChatGPT prompts to perform the investigation can make this a task something that even a novice SOC analyst would be able to complete. This will be a fun exercise, but remember to get your company's permission to do this in a environment or on a computer/virtual machine they approve of if using it at work. Since remnants of malware exist in the traffic, it could cause your antivirus or endpoint protection to alert.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
