AP Cybersecurity Terminal Lab: Read the Badge Log | Topic 2.4

Read the badge log

A week of badge swipes from a building nobody has audited since March. Three of the oddities in it are attacks. Two are not, and telling them apart is the lab.

Everything runs in this page. The log, the door reference and the badge list are simulated, so read them in any order and as many times as you need.

Finding something strange in a log is the easy half. A person working late and a badge used at 02:47 are both unusual, and only one of them is a problem. Decide what makes the difference before you decide which rows to flag.

This one is practice. It checks your work on the page and records nothing.
