Windows EVTX Samples [More than 120 EVTX examples]:

This is a container for windows events samples associated to specific attack and post-exploitation techniques. Can be useful for:

• Testing your detection scripts based on EVTX parsing

• Training on DFIR and threat hunting using event logs

• Designing detection use cases using Windows and Sysmon event logs
