    Mission Briefing

    Field Operations Manual

    "Investigate anomalous outbound traffic from a critical SCADA gateway. Utilize Splunk SPL, analyze PCAP data, and perform memory forensics to identify data exfiltration and uncover the root cause."

    As a tactical range on the SecNav Platform, Operation SCADA Exfiltration Analysis is a high-fidelity cyber simulation designed to verify critical combat competencies. Deploying into this live range audits an operator's technical capabilities in Log Analysis & SIEM, Splunk SPL Proficiency, Network Traffic Analysis under real-world threat conditions.

    Tactical Objectives

    • Acquire volatile memory frames and raw network PCAP streams.
    • Correlate disparate system logs across multi-zone container grids.
    • Isolate and decrypt compromised audit logs and hidden data partitions.
    • Assemble a cryptographically signed Decision Action Report (DAR).
