Description

Understanding the underlying behavior of operating systems is critical for detecting and investigating malicious activity. In this episode, we explore the core OS concepts that every cybersecurity analyst must master. You'll learn about the Windows Registry, how system hardening reduces attack surfaces, and what file system structures can reveal during an investigation.

We also discuss how malware hides within OS-level components, why registry anomalies can indicate compromise, and how file system permissions play a role in privilege escalation. This episode gives you a foundational lens through which to interpret host-level alerts and enrich your vulnerability management and incident response capabilities.
