Title: Suspicious internal reconnaissance from ATTACK-KALI-01
Summary: Network activity originating from 192.168.100.50 targeted monitored internal systems and warranted validation for scan behavior.
Evidence: Source host ATTACK-KALI-01, destination visibility from monitored systems, associated timestamps, and correlated activity in SIEM.
Assessment: Activity aligns with authorized lab simulation but demonstrates the exact workflow used to identify and scope internal reconnaissance.
Recommendation: Document, preserve screenshots, and use the event as a repeatable analyst training scenario.
Communication Quality
