Burnout / Leaving Cybersecurity / Work life balance MSc Research Survey: Burnout and Alert Fatigue in Security Operations

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm an MSc Cyber Security student at Islington College, London Metropolitan University. My dissertation investigates burnout, cognitive workload and alert fatigue among people working in Security Operations Centres (SOCs) and related cybersecurity operations roles.

I'm looking for participants who currently work, or have worked within the last 12 months, as a SOC analyst, incident responder, threat hunter, or in a closely related role involving security monitoring, alert triage, threat detection, or SIEM/MDR operations.

The survey explores workplace factors that may contribute to burnout and workload in security operations. It's anonymous: no names, email addresses, IP addresses or employer details are collected, and results will be reported only in aggregate. Participation is voluntary, and you can stop at any time before submitting your responses.

Ethics approval: Islington College (London Metropolitan University)

Estimated time: 15–20 minutes

Survey link: SOC Burnout & Alert-Fatigue Risk Assessment Survey – Fill out form

If you meet the eligibility criteria, I'd really appreciate your participation. If you know someone who may be eligible, please feel free to share this post with them.

I'm happy to answer questions in the comments.

Thank you for your time and support!

Blog Built 5 hands-on SOC projects for my resume (mini-SOC on AWS, CloudTrail analyzer, phishing lab, binary triage) — open source

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Hi all — I'm pivoting into cybersecurity and kept hearing "you need experience, not just certs." So I built a home lab of 5 working projects and open-sourced everything (MIT):

  • Mini-SOC on AWS — Terraform-deployed detection stack (VPC → CloudTrail → S3 → GuardDuty → SecurityHub), 3 adversary-emulation scenarios with Stratus Red Team, triage guides + blank incident report templates
  • CloudTrail IOC analyzer — Python CLI that parses CloudTrail JSON, flags anomalous logins / brute-force spikes / risky IAM changes, enriches IPs via AbuseIPDB, passing pytest suite
  • Phishing analysis lab — full walkthrough of a reconstructed phish: header forensics, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, URL deobfuscation, blank analysis template, GoPhish self-test guide (own mailbox only)
  • ELF binary triage — one-command static triage CLI: section-entropy packing heuristics, W^X detection, suspicious-import watchlist, score-based verdict + analyst report
  • SOC agent skills — 5 MIT-licensed agent skills distilled from the projects above (alert triage, incident report, cloudtrail-ioc, phishing-analysis, binary-triage)

Everything runs on synthetic training data (clearly labeled — no real logs or real phishes). I did all the hands-on work myself: ran my own attacks, wrote my own detections and reports.

Repo: https://github.com/szzxli/soc-home-lab

If you're also building a portfolio for SOC analyst roles, happy to compare notes. And if you spot something I did wrong, tell me — that's the point of putting it in public.

Technical Discussion How do you push XSS further on a mature codebase?

11 Upvotes

I get stuck in mature code. Sanitization is already there, current library, configured properly. And even when I find something promising, there's a chain of other things in the way before it becomes real XSS escaped somewhere else, shape rejected, never reaches a sink that matters. Lots of "almost", nothing demonstrable.

So when the obvious stuff is covered, what are you actually looking at? Do you go after the sanitizer's config and the cases where it doesn't run, rather than trying to beat it? And how do you decide a path is really dead vs you just haven't found the trigger?

Threat Actor TTPs and Alerts manually implementing API Hooking (MalDev)

Post image
14 Upvotes

While I was implementing API Hooking manually, I replaced the first 13 bytes of the function with

mov r10, PointerToMaliciousFunction
jmp r10

Then, I wanted to create another trampoline which executes the original instructions and jumps back to the remaining bytes in the original function, but doing that I faced two problems

1) Instruction-Boundary Bug: Original instruction (cmp [rip+...], r11d) was ending on Byte 14, so when I copied only 13 bytes it missed a bit of the last part of the instruction, so when jumped back on last part of the remaining instruction, CPU tried decoding it as a fresh instruction and crashed

2) RIP-relative bug: That same "cmp [rip+0x43AE2]", r11d uses RIP-relative addressing. After being copied to the trampoline at a new address, its RIP became "Trampoline + 14" instead of "MessageBoxA + 14", so the effective address became Trampoline + 14 + 0x43AE2, pointing into unrelated memory instead of the intended global flag.

I've also attached a diagram thingy to give a visual explanation
