Wazuh SIEM Deployment

In progress — Wazuh deployed, detection and case management not yet integrated

Overview

A self-hosted detection lab on Proxmox. Wazuh is deployed as the log collection and alerting layer, with Snort providing network-level detection on an isolated segment. TheHive is scoped for case management but is not yet configured, and the Wazuh-to-TheHive alert pipeline is not yet built.

This is a home lab, and the intent is detection engineering practice — writing rules, generating test activity, and confirming the rules fire on it — not simulating a production SOC.

Tool Stack (Current and Planned)

  • Wazuh — deployed, collecting logs and generating alerts
  • Snort IDS — deployed on an isolated network segment
  • Proxmox VE — hypervisor for the lab
  • pfSense — network segmentation and firewall rules
  • TheHive — planned, not yet configured
  • MITRE ATT&CK — planned mapping target for custom detection rules once they exist

Scope

The work is scoped in this order:

  1. Wazuh agent deployment across Windows and Linux endpoints in the lab
  2. Custom detection rule creation, tested against generated activity and mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
  3. TheHive configuration and the Wazuh-to-TheHive alert-to-case integration
  4. Sample alert triage workflow, documented from alert firing to case closure
  5. Screenshots from the live dashboard and TheHive case console once the above exists

This page will be updated with real screenshots and specifics as each step is actually working — not before.
