SOC SIMULATOR
v2.6.0Train like a real SOC analyst
Practice incident response in a risk-free cybersecurity simulation. Investigate threats, analyze logs, and level up your blue team skills.
The training gap between theory and the SOC floor
Practice Real Incident Response
Most cybersecurity training is reading and memorizing. SOC Simulator puts you in the analyst seat — investigate live threats, correlate evidence across log sources, and make response decisions that get graded. The same workflow you’ll use on day one of a SOC role.
No Setup Required
No VMs to spin up. No subscriptions. No accounts. Open your browser and start analyzing threats in 30 seconds. All evidence, logs, and tools run locally — your progress saves automatically.
Built on Real Frameworks
Every threat maps to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. Log formats match real syslog, Apache, and UFW output. Investigation scoring follows NIST SP 800-61 incident response procedures. Skills transfer directly to real SOC environments.
Everything you need to train
A realistic SOC environment with investigation tools, terminal access, and threat intelligence — all connected through an evidence pipeline.
