Module 2 Assessment — Part B: Hunt a Beaconing Hypothesis

Hypothesis: 'A host is beaconing to command-and-control at a fixed sub-5-minute interval to a rare external destination.' You have outbound-flow summaries and enrichment for the window. Hunt it: pivot, rule out the benign update-check explanation, judge confidence, decide.

What you will be able to do

  • Pivot outbound flows to the host matching the beaconing hypothesis.
  • Rule out the benign software-update explanation on a specific fact.
  • State a confidence and choose the matching action.
