Incident Response — hands-on investigation
Brute-force attack investigation
Investigated a live brute-force attack: identified the attack vector from authentication logs,
traced the source, and prepared forensic evidence and a written incident report. This is the
investigation I point recruiters to first — it's real response work, not a tutorial exercise.
