The Breach

NovaPay Incident Response

NovaPay processes forty million payment records a day. At 3AM, the intrusion detection system fires — someone is inside the network. Raw server logs are the only evidence, and the attacker is still moving. Parse the access logs to reconstruct the initial recon scan. Decode base64-encoded exfiltration payloads hiding in plain HTTP traffic. Unmask spoofed user-agent strings that reveal an insider. Every regex pattern you write is a step closer to the damage report regulators need by morning.
