The Information Security Community on LinkedIn, with the support of Cybereason, conducted a comprehensive online research project to gain
more insight into the state of threat hunting in security
operation centers (SOCs). When the 330 cybersecurity and IT professionals were asked what keeps them up at night, many comments revolved around a central theme of undetected threats slipping through an organization’s defenses. Many
responses included “unknown” and “advanced” when
describing threats, indicating the respondents understand
the challenges and fear those emerging threats.

How to Hunt for Lateral Movement on Your NetworkSqrrl
Once inside your network, most cyber-attacks go sideways. They progressively move deeper into the network, laterally compromising other systems as they search for key assets and data. Would you spot this lateral movement on your enterprise network?
In this training session, we review the various techniques attackers use to spread through a network, which data sets you can use to reliably find them, and how data science techniques can be used to help automate the detection of lateral movement.

Effective Threat Hunting with Tactical Threat IntelligenceDhruv Majumdar
How to set up a Threat Hunting Team for Active Defense utilizing Cyber Threat Intelligence and how CTI can help a company grow and improve its security posture.
Your adversaries continue to attack and get into companies. You can no longer rely on alerts from point solutions alone to secure your network. To identify and mitigate these advanced threats, analysts must become proactive in identifying not just indicators, but attack patterns and behavior. In this workshop we will walk through a hands-on exercise with a real world attack scenario. The workshop will illustrate how advanced correlations from multiple data sources and machine learning can enhance security analysts capability to detect and quickly mitigate advanced attacks.

A profile is an extremely sensitive optional configuration file which allows to re-define different system functionality parameters such as mobile carrier settings, Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings and networking settings. Through social engineering techniques such as email phishing or a fake URL, an attacker can convince a user to install a malicious profile and compromise the device settings to silently route network traffic from the device to a remote proxy over SSL using a self-signed certificate.
The impact:
Once the attacker has re-routed all traffic from the mobile device to their own server, they can begin to install other malicious apps and decrypt SSL communications.

Packet Analysis - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Lisa Bock - Pennsylvania College of Technology
Most network administrators are well-versed in hardware, applications, operating systems, and network analysis tools. However, many are not trained in analyzing network traffic. Network administrators should be able to identify normal network traffic in order to determine unusual or suspicious activity. Network packet analysis is important in order to troubleshoot congestion issues, create firewall and intrusion detection system rules, and perform incident and threat detection. This hands-on presentation will review fundamental concepts necessary to analyze network traffic, beginning with an overview of network analysis, then a review the TCP/IP protocol suite and LAN operations. Participants will examine packet captures and understand the field values of the protocols and as to what is considered normal behavior, and then examine captures that show exploits, network reconnaissance, and signatures of common network attacks. The program will use Wireshark, a network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows, to study network packets, look at basic features such as display and capture filters, and examine common protocols such as TCP, HTTP, DNS, and FTP. Time permitting, the presentation will provide suggestions on how to troubleshoot performance problems, conduct a network baseline, and how to follow a TCP or UDP stream and see HTTP artifacts. Participants should have a basic knowledge of computer networking and an interest in the subject.
Blackhat USA 2016 - What's the DFIRence for ICS?Chris Sistrunk
Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) for IT systems has been around quite a while, but what about Industrial Control Systems (ICS)? This talk will explore the basics of DFIR for embedded devices used in critical infrastructure such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and controllers. If these are compromised or even have a misoperation, we will show what files, firmware, memory dumps, physical conditions, and other data can be analyzed in embedded systems to determine the root cause.
This talk will show examples of what and how to collect forensics data from two popular RTUs that are used in Electric Substations: the General Electric D20MX and the Schweitzer Engineering Labs SEL-3530 RTAC.
This talk will not cover Windows or *nixbased devices such as Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) or gateways.

Attackers don’t just search for technology vulnerabilities, they take the easiest path and find the human vulnerabilities. Drive by web attacks, targeted spear phishing, and more are commonplace today with the goal of delivering custom malware. In a world where delivering custom advanced malware that handily evades signature and blacklisting approaches, and does not depend on application software vulnerabilities, how do we understand when are environments are compromised? What are the telltale signs that compromise activity has started, and how can we move to arrest a compromise in progress before the attacker laterally moves and reinforces their position? The penetration testing community knows these signs and artifacts of advanced malware presence, and it is up to us to help educate defenders on what to look for.
Network Scanning Phases and Supporting ToolsJoseph Bugeja
This presentation focuses on the network penetration scanning phase. It introduces tools and techniques that professional pen-testers and ethical hackers need to master to find target machines, openings on those targets and vulnerabilities.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

and flows
• Standard tools: Snort and Suricata
8. Indicators (or Signatures)
• Matched against traffic observed by the network
sensor
• Simple indicators
• Such as IP address + port
• "Cheap" (small load on sensor)
• Complex indicators
• Session reconstruction or string matching
• Can burden the sensor so much it drops packets
9. Example Snort Rule
• This rule detects SSH Brute Force attacks
• Depth: how many bytes of packet to read
• Links Ch 9a, 9b
10. alert_fast
• Put this in Snort configuration file
• output alert_fast alerts.txt
• Simplest output module for Snort
• Puts text into a file
11. Detect Fake SSL Certificate
• Detects a specific fake certificate used by an
APT group identified by Mandiant's in 2003
• Written by Emerging Threats
• Matches serial number and Issuer string
12. Header and Full Packet
Logging
• Two distinct purposes
• To help IR team generate signatures, monitor
activity, or identify stolen data
• Collect evidence for an administrative or legal
matter
• Consider whether to treat packet captures as
evidence and generate a chain of custody
13. Thoroughness
• IDS systems can retain the full session that
generated an alert
• But for targeted collection against specific
subjects, use tcpdump or Wireshark
14. tcpdump
• Complete packet capture of an HTTP request
• Done with "tcpdump -X"
• Limiting capture to 64 bytes captures only the
headers (called "trap and trace" by law
enforcement)
21. Simple Method
• Deploy laptops or 1U servers
with hardware network taps
• Snort + tcpdump works
• Best if you are setting up
monitoring after an incident
is detected--fast & easy
22. IDS Limitations
• IDS platforms cannot reliably perform both
intrusion detection and network surveillance
simultaneously
• If you set an IDS to capture full-content, its
effectiveness as a sensor will diminish
24. Hardware
• Difficult to collect and store every packet traversing
high-speed links
• Recommended:
• 1U servers from large manufacturers
• Linux-based network monitoring distributions
• Linux now outperforms FreeBSD
• For best performance, use NTOP's PF_RING
network socket, not the default AF_PACKET
interface
25. Before an Incident
• If your organization plans ahead
• Commercial solutions that combine Snort-style
alerting wth storage
• Solera Network's DeepSea appliance
• RSA's NetWitness platform
26. Security Onion
• Free Linux distribution, with kernel patched
installed (securityonion.net)
• Includes analysis tools
28. Major Network Changes
• May facilitate network surveillance
• Ex: route all company locations through a
single Internet connection with MPLS
(Multiprotocol Label Switching), not a
separate ISP for each office
29. Secure Sensor Deployment
• Place network sensor in a locked room, to
maintain chain of custody
• Patch the OS, keep it up to date
• Protect it from unauthorized access
• Document everything
• Review logs
• Use Tripwire to ensure integrity of OS
30. Evaluating Your Network
Monitor
• Is it receiving the traffic you want to monitor?
• Is the hardware responsive enough to achieve
your goals?
• Create signatures to detect test traffic and test
your monitor
• Such as a nonexistent URL
• Performance metrics in logs will tell you if the
sensor is dropping packets
32. General Principles
• Wireshark is excellent
• Especially with custom decoders, written in Lua
or C
• Don't hunt through large packet captures looking
for something new
• Limit the scope
• Use targeted queries that follow your leads and
answer investigative questions
33. Data Theft Scenario
• On Dec. 3, 2013, your investigation starts
• Two days ago, an attacker accessed a user's
desktop system
• Ran rar.exe and ftp.exe once each
• You have complete packet capture data
34. Prefetch
• Shows exact date and time ftp.exe was executed
• Dec. 1, 2013 at 00:57 UTC
• Interviews tell you that RAR and FTP are not
used normally on that workstation
35. PCAP File
• 73 FTP sessions on the date in question
• 2 are active during the time of interest
• Download PCAP files from link Ch 9e
40. Password
• The RARs are password-protected
• We can see the names of files and folders, but
not extract them
• A forensic examiner could search for command
lines using RAR.exe on the system, which might
contain the password
• Password cracking tools might help, but they
are slow
41. Is the Process Automated?
• Look for typographical errors
• Look at timing between steps of the attack
• Timing below indicates a human user
42. File from First Session
• pwdump hacking tool, steals password hashes
43. Webshell Reconnaissance
Scenario
• IDS detects a port scan coming from your DMZ
• From an Apache & MySQL server, on Windows,
at 203.0.113.101
• Interviews: no authorized port scan was run at
that time
• Login history shows no user logged in to the
server at that time
44. Apache Server Logs
• Large number of requests at the time of interest
• From an external IP address you don't recognize
• Many different pages requested
• Then many requests of the "/apps/login.php"
page
45. PHP Shell
• Many POST requests to "/apps/login.php"
• Then GET requests to "/tmpbkxcn.php"
• Containing strings such as
• cmd=netstat
• cmd=tasklist
47. SSL Encryption
• New versions of TLS have Forward Secrecy
• A different key for each session, using a
"session master secret"
• Older versions of TLS
• All data can be decrypted with the RSA private
key on the server
48. Importing the Key
• In Wirehark
• Wireshark,
Preferences,
Protocols,
SSL
• In "RSA keys
list" line,
click Edit
49. • "Decrypted SSL data" tab appears at bottom
• User-Agent: sqlmap (a common hacking tool)
57. Network-Based Logs
• Server-based logs are files on the individual
systems
• May be altered or deleted by the attacker
• Network-based logs may be more reliable
• Especially if network devices are physically
and electronically secured
58. Log Aggregation
• Log aggregation is difficult because:
• Logs are in different formats
• Originate from different operating systems
• May require special software to access and
read
• May have inaccurate timestamps
