# TryHackMe - IAAAIDM Room
## Overview
This room covers the fundamental concepts of **Identification, Authentication, Authorization, Accountability, and Identity Management (IAAAIDM)**. It provides practical insights and hands-on activities to understand how these security principles are applied in various systems.
## What I Learned
1. **Identification**:
- Understanding how systems identify users (e.g., usernames, email).
- Importance of unique identification for system security.
2. **Authentication**:
- Verified users’ identities using credentials (passwords, biometrics).
- Different methods of authentication: passwords, PINs, biometrics, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
3. **Authorization**:
- How systems determine what authenticated users can access.
- Concepts of role-based access control (RBAC) and how access levels are granted based on user roles.
4. **Accountability**:
- The importance of logging and monitoring to track user actions.
- Using logging systems to detect and audit unauthorized access or malicious activity.
5. **Identity Management**:
- Managing user identities and permissions efficiently within a system.
- The role of Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools in maintaining system security.
## Accomplishments
- Successfully completed all hands-on exercises related to the IAAAIDM model.
- Implemented basic identity and access controls in a simulated environment.
- Reviewed logs to understand user activity and detect unauthorized attempts.
- Applied the principles of identification, authentication, and authorization in securing a system.
## Tools Used
- **Linux Command Line**: For system commands and log analysis.
- **IAM Platforms**: Explored IAM tools and their role in identity management.
- **Logging and Monitoring**: Utilized logging mechanisms to track user actions and ensure accountability.
## Conclusion
The TryHackMe IAAAIDM room provided a comprehensive introduction to the security principles of Identification, Authentication, Authorization, Accountability, and Identity Management. The knowledge and skills gained will help in securing systems and managing user access efficiently.
