Can You Prove This Is a DoS Attack?

In this SOC interview question, we explore DoS attacks

In a real SOC interview, you’re not just being tested on what you know—you’re being evaluated on how you think, how you communicate, and whether you can walk through data in real time like someone who actually does the job.

In this video, I simulate that exact scenario.

You’ll see a denial-of-service attack from three perspectives:

Splunk (application/log level)
Wireshark (network/packet level)
Wazuh (host/system level)

But more importantly—you’ll learn how to talk through what you’re seeing in a way that makes you stand out from every other candidate.

This isn’t about memorizing answers.

It’s about thinking like an analyst.

Anyone can say “this looks like a DoS attack.”

Not everyone can explain why.

That’s the difference.
