Overview

Overview

Security Playbooks is a comprehensive collection of cybersecurity playbooks, MITRE ATT&CK–aligned attack scenarios, detection rules, threat‑hunting workflows, and incident‑response labs designed for SOC analysts, detection engineers, threat hunters, and cybersecurity learners.

This documentation provides an overview of the project structure, usage guidelines, and the purpose of each component within the repository.

Purpose of the Project

Security Playbooks aims to:

• Provide structured, repeatable security playbooks
• Support MITRE ATT&CK–based analysis and detection
• Offer high‑quality Sigma, YARA, and Suricata rules
• Enable hands‑on threat‑hunting and IR practice
• Serve as a reference for detection engineering workflows

The repository is designed to be both educational and operational, supporting real‑world SOC environments as well as training labs.

Key Components

Playbooks

Step‑by‑step workflows for detection, investigation, and response.
Each playbook includes:

• MITRE ATT&CK mappings
• Required data sources
• Hunting queries
• Validation steps

Detection Rules

A curated set of:

• Sigma rules
• YARA signatures
• Suricata IDS rules

All rules include descriptions, references, and ATT&CK technique IDs.

Labs

Hands‑on exercises covering:

• Log analysis
• Malware behavior
• Lateral movement
• Persistence detection
• Incident response workflows
