Episode 20: System-Level Behavior and Architecture Fundamentals
In this episode, we go deeper into the building blocks of computing environments that matter for cyber defense. We cover where critical configuration files are typically stored, how analysts monitor and investigate system processes, and what aspects of hardware architecture matter when tracking threats or hardening systems.
You’ll also hear how attackers exploit weaknesses at the process level or leverage misconfigurations in low-level system components. Understanding how the operating system interacts with hardware and config data isn’t just academic—it helps you spot unusual activity, detect evasive threats, and answer performance-based questions with confidence.
