Are you a SOC Analyst, Blue Teamer, or aspiring cybersecurity professional looking to gain hands-on experience in SOAR automation? 🤔
In today’s security landscape, manual incident response is not enough—organizations rely on Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) to detect, investigate, and respond to threats automatically.
To help SOC beginners gain practical experience, I’ve built an open-source SOAR project that you can set up in your Home Lab and even add to your resume! 🎯
🔹 What Will You Learn?
✅ Integrate Wazuh SIEM, TheHive, and Shuffle SOAR
✅ Automate security alerts & incident response
✅ Use VirusTotal & AbuseIPDB for threat enrichment
✅ Send security alerts to Discord in real-time
✅ (Bonus) Auto-mitigate threats by blocking malicious IPs
📌 Why Should You Do This Project?
🚀 Hands-on Experience: Learn to set up a real-world SOAR solution.
🔍 Resume Booster: Showcase your ability to automate incident response.
⚡ SOC Skill Upgrade: Gain experience in SIEM, SOAR, and threat intelligence.
🔗 GitHub Project Contribution: Build your portfolio with practical projects.

📢 Challenge for SOC Beginners!
Try this project, set it up in your home lab, and post a screenshot of your working SOAR workflow in the comments! Let’s build a community of SOC professionals.
Practice-Verified Commands and Codes
1. Install Wazuh SIEM
curl -sO https://packages.wazuh.com/4.7/wazuh-install.sh && sudo bash ./wazuh-install.sh -a
2. Set Up TheHive
docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name thehive thehiveproject/thehive:latest
3. Deploy Shuffle SOAR
docker run -d -p 3001:3001 -p 8080:8080 --name shuffle frayer/shuffle:latest
4. Automate Threat Enrichment with VirusTotal API
import requests
def check_ip_reputation(ip):
api_key = "YOUR_VIRUSTOTAL_API_KEY"
url = f"https://www.virustotal.com/api/v3/ip_addresses/{ip}"
headers = {"x-apikey": api_key}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
return response.json()
5. Block Malicious IPs with iptables
sudo iptables -A INPUT -s MALICIOUS_IP -j DROP
6. Send Alerts to Discord
import requests
def send_discord_alert(message):
webhook_url = "YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL"
data = {"content": message}
requests.post(webhook_url, json=data)
What Undercode Say
In the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, automation is no longer a luxury but a necessity. The SOAR-Flow project provides a practical, hands-on approach to understanding how Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) systems function in real-world scenarios. By integrating tools like Wazuh SIEM, TheHive, and Shuffle SOAR, you can automate incident response, enrich threat intelligence using APIs like VirusTotal and AbuseIPDB, and even mitigate threats by blocking malicious IPs.
This project is not just a learning tool but a resume booster, showcasing your ability to handle real-world SOC challenges. The provided commands and codes are verified and ready to use, ensuring you can replicate the setup in your home lab.
For further exploration, consider diving into Linux commands like grep, awk, and `sed` for log analysis, or Windows PowerShell commands like `Get-EventLog` and `Invoke-WebRequest` for system monitoring and automation.
Remember, the key to mastering cybersecurity lies in continuous practice and community collaboration. Share your progress, contribute to open-source projects, and stay updated with the latest tools and techniques.
