This project demonstrates the setup of a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system using Azure Sentinel service that monitors Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) events. The goal was to log successful RDP logins and analyze them using KQL (Kusto Query Language) Queries.

The goal of this project is to create a controlled environment for ethical hacking and penetration testing practice. By following this documentation, users can set up their own home lab to practice identifying, exploiting, and mitigating real-world vulnerabilities.
