Program
Sysmon Configuration curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days
Module 1 : Sysmon configuration: installation and event collection (Event ID, processes, drivers)
Participants install Sysmon 15 on Windows 10 and 11 workstations, apply a baseline configuration, and refine the ProcessCreate and FileCreateTime tags. They test initial filters on legitimate and malicious binaries, export events to EVTX files, and measure CPU overhead. A minimal viable configuration is delivered at the end of the day.
Module 2 : Sysmon configuration: writing XML rules and reducing false positives
Using traces collected the previous day, learners write complex XML rules combining Image, CommandLine, and ParentImage fields. They measure the impact on event volume, adjust thresholds, and validate exclusions against real-world PowerShell and WMI cases. The deliverable is a configuration ready for a 200-workstation environment.
Module 3 : Sysmon configuration: SIEM integration and LOLBin technique detection
Participants connect Sysmon to an existing SIEM, build dashboards, and create alerts for Living off the Land techniques. They simulate attacks with certutil and mshta, analyze the resulting traces, and refine rules in real time. The final deliverable is a rule pack and incident response playbook.
How Sysmon Configuration skills are assessed
- 20-question quiz on Event IDs and XML tags
- Practical exercise writing and testing a complete configuration
