Ports and Services Interview Questions
The single topic interviewers flag most often. Ports, protocols and what each one tells you in a capture — the foundation under almost every other SOC question.
Free — no sign-up, no email
Free SOC interview resources
Three public pages for people preparing for SOC and security interviews. They are the parts of this course that need no passphrase: the questions, the vocabulary, and honest advice on moving from log work into a security role. Read them here, free, with nothing to enter.

A free page, no catches
It targets a question people actually type into a search box before an interview. It is not a sales page — the course is mentioned at the end, and only where it is genuinely relevant. More free pages are on the way.
The paid course, in short
If you want the structured path
These free pages are the front door. Behind it is one course built for the same problem: people who work around security logs and keep failing the interview.

What the ₹100 lifetime course adds
The free pages answer questions one at a time. The course builds the groundwork in the order an interview tests it, so nothing is left to luck.
- Phase 1 — 30 days to job-ready: networking and ports, Windows and Linux, Active Directory, SIEM and detection, incidents and response.
- Phase 2 — 10 days on SIEM and log integration: the work an integration engineer already does, turned from a job into a specialism you can be interviewed on.
- Phase 3 — 15 days advanced: detection engineering, hunting, forensics and platform architecture.
- Every session ends with a 15-question quiz. You need 12 of 15 before the next unlocks — the 80% gate.
- 45 questions per session, so every retry is a fresh set and you learn the concept, not the answers.
- One payment of ₹100. Lifetime access, no renewals and no upsells.
