Mini SIEM: Log Collection & Anomaly Alerts

Ingests syslog and auth logs, correlates events and alerts on anomalies

5-6 weeks build

Overview

A scaled-down security information and event management system: agents ship syslog and Linux auth logs into a searchable store, correlation rules fire on patterns like repeated failed logins, and an unsupervised model flags volume and timing anomalies the rules miss. Analysts triage everything from a dashboard of ranked, deduplicated alerts.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Collects and normalises syslog and auth logs from multiple hosts
  • 02Correlation rules for brute force, privilege changes and odd hours
  • 03Unsupervised anomaly detection over event-rate baselines
  • 04Alert dashboard with severity, dedupe and acknowledgement
  • 05Runs on lab VMs with sample log generators included

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Collection

    Ships and parses logs into a normalised event schema.

  2. 02

    Storage

    Indexes events for fast time-range and field search.

  3. 03

    Correlation

    Rule engine matching multi-step suspicious sequences.

  4. 04

    Anomalies

    Baselines event rates and flags statistical outliers.

  5. 05

    Console

    Ranks, deduplicates and tracks the state of each alert.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain how rules and anomaly detection complement each other
  • Defend your event schema and correlation-rule design
  • Demo an attack scenario raising and resolving alerts
