Threat Intel Setup Part 1 (Graylog & PFSense)

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, knowing what’s happening inside your network is crucial. Imagine being able to gain real-time insights into every action—what’s allowed, what’s blocked, and who’s trying to sneak in. This guide takes you through the process of setting up a powerful threat intelligence solution by pushing logs from pfSense (an open-source firewall) into Graylog (an open-source log aggregator and parser). By the end of this project, you’ll have not only a functional setup but also a deeper understanding of your network’s security posture. Think of it as a detective tool that helps you monitor, analyze, and respond to network threats more effectively—all while learning and having fun! Dive into the world of threat intelligence and take control of your network’s security today.
