GIAC Detection Analyst (GCDA) Network traffic analysis forms the core assessment focus, alongside log review, malware indicators, and intrusion detection methodologies. GCDA tests your ability to correlate disparate security signals? packet captures, system logs, network flows? to identify compromise patterns attackers typically leave behind. Practical scenarios demand fluency in tools like Wireshark and Suricata rules, not theoretical frameworks alone.
