Is the us engaged in a cyber war
This document discusses the challenges in determining when cyber attacks constitute acts of war. It explores issues like attribution, escalation, and setting legal precedents. While most cyber attacks are currently considered "uses of force" that allow proportional responses, there is no clear agreement on where digital actions become "armed attacks" warranting military retaliation. The document examines recent incidents like Stuxnet and debates whether a combination of severe cyber attacks threatening economic stability could cross that threshold. Overall, it aims to clarify complex legal and policy issues regarding conflict in digital domains.
Advanced persistent threats
The document discusses several real-world advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks throughout history, including the first known cyber espionage incident called "The Cuckoo's Egg" in 1986, the Stuxnet cyber weapon used against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2010, and Operation Aurora which targeted major corporations like Google and Adobe in 2009. It defines APTs as targeted, advanced, persistent attacks usually carried out by well-funded nation-state groups, and outlines the common goals, phases, actors, and challenges of attributing APTs. The document concludes by providing further resources on APT reports, frameworks, and demonstrating attack techniques using Metasploit and Armitage.
y3dips - Who Own Your Sensitive Information?
This document discusses who owns sensitive information, how it is taken, and how to protect it. It notes that hackers, cyber mafia, cyber terrorists, movies, cyber armies, and Wikileaks can own sensitive information. Information is often taken through password theft, insecure infrastructure, insecure data protection, lack of security policies/procedures, intrusion/hacking, and social engineering. The document provides examples of how Bradley Manning leaked classified US airstrike videos and diplomatic cables to Wikileaks by copying them to a Lady Gaga CD. It recommends upgrading security awareness, following security manuals, using strong authentication/encryption, antivirus software, and realizing that no system is completely secure and security requires human diligence

Synergy in Joint Cyber Operations - Indian National Defence University & HQ I...
In 2012, I led the first joint cyber operations with the Indian Air Force. Seven years too late, we have started talking about cyber jointness.
“Synergy in Joint Cyber Operations” presented at an Indian National Defence University event. The first time ever that jointness was discussed in the Indian context. Not very verbose for obvious reasons – I flagged politics and turf wars. Some shakeups are happening; the Defence Cyber Agency is up. Winds of change…
Online Gaming and the Growing Impact of China DDoS - David Liebenberg
Ever since online gaming became widespread throughout China in the early 2000s, entrepreneurs have been selling pirated versions of games, offering reduced prices and increased benefits. It is an immensely popular and profitable industry in China. In 2013 there were around 1000 servers offering pirated versions of the online game Legend. Servers for this game alone generate nearly $316 million that year.
Given the amount of pirated game servers available, there is fierce competition for customers. Because of this, China has a long history of server managers unleashing large-scale DDoS attacks on rivals. This has led to a cottage industry of DDoS software and DDoS-as-a-service. This aligns with observed trends in DDoS activity, which has seen a rise in targets in both China and the gaming industry.
The scale of some of these incidents is staggering, and its effects have been felt around the world. This includes mass brute forcing campaigns and attacks that have taken down entire TLDs.
This presentation will go in-depth into the world of pirated online gaming in China. It will then look at two recent DDoS malware campaigns, ChinaZ and SSHPsychos, which are both linked to Chinese game server rivalry. Following this, I will provide examples of how DDoS service providers targeting private servers advertise their wares and negotiate attacks. Finally, I will review indicators that could potentially signal a connection to online gaming and discuss methods to collect intelligence on attackers.

Why Federal Systems are Immune from Ransomware...& other Grim Fairy Tales)
The Federal computing space has been relatively unscathed by ransomware attacks such as Petya, WannaCry, and others—but are Federal systems really that much better than their commercial counterparts?
In this presentation from his webinar, cybersecurity expert and SANS Institute Instructor G. Mark Hardy, explores the myth of invulnerability and why Federal systems have appeared to dodge the ransomware bullet — so far. Although best practices go a long way, aging technology, legacy systems, and sheer size make the case for additional protection.
This presentation (and the webinar), also cover
• Why a Cybersecurity Sprint can’t win a marathon
• How ransomware is evolving faster than we can defend
• Ways to identify potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited
• Seven tips for reducing the Federal attack surface

NTXISSACSC3 - Evolution of Cyber Threats and Defense Approaches by Antony Abr...North Texas Chapter of the ISSA
State Farm is a large insurance company with over 60,000 network nodes and 150,000 employees. Cyber attacks have evolved from hackers experimenting to targeted attacks by cyber criminals, hacktivists, and nation states seeking credentials, intellectual property, and the ability to pivot to other targets. Legacy "layers on layers" defenses are no longer sufficient. A framework-based defense following the NIST cybersecurity framework pillars of identify, protect, detect, respond and recover is needed. This includes next-gen firewalls, endpoint protection, SIEM, network segmentation, identity management and response procedures. State Farm collects terabytes of log data daily using Hadoop for security analytics to find anomalies and indicators of compromise. Bringing all defensesCyberwar
The document discusses various topics related to cyberwar including Mastodon, Lockheed-Martin's kill chain model, and Mitre's ATT&CK framework. It notes that China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea pose major cyber threats according to the FBI and CISA. China is described as the broadest cyber espionage threat. Russia conducts destructive malware and ransomware operations. Iran's growing cyber expertise makes it a threat. North Korea's program poses an espionage, cybercrime, and attack threat and continues cryptocurrency heists.
Hunting for cyber threats targeting weapon systems
While traditional cybersecurity defenses focus on prevention, there are many vulnerabilities and potential attacks against weapon systems. While weapon systems are more software dependent and networked than ever before, cybersecurity has not always been prioritized with regards to weapon systems acquisition.
Threat actors have advanced in their sophistication as they are well-resourced and highly skilled, oftentimes gathering detailed knowledge of the systems they want to attack. Ensuring stronger detection methods is imperative, but because these types of threats are very targeted and advanced, agencies need the capability to proactively hunt.

Social Engineering 101: Don't Get Manipulated by Attackers
Nonprofits - This security-focused educational webinar will be presented by Erich Kron, a Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4!
Abstract:
Social Engineering is a practice we use almost every day of our lives. It is apparent in how we interact with our families, our friends, strangers and even those coworkers we don't really like. It's really just the practice of dealing with other humans.
By studying these interactions, attackers can become very adept at using these skills to manipulate people into actions that benefit them. Phishing, smishing, vishing are all tools of the trade that attackers use. The psychology used in these attacks to bypass critical thinking is becoming more and more advanced. By leveraging techniques like focus redirection and exploiting the way our brain filters can be tricked in to perceiving a different reality, attackers are outpacing our best efforts to defend ourselves. We do know that throwing money at a problem doesn’t make it go away. Social engineering methods and the cyber criminals behind the attacks are furiously innovating.
Fear, anxiety and outrage are all being used to spread ransomware and other types of malware, scam people and organizations out of money and disrupt business. It’s no wonder that social engineering and phishing are the most common way that successful breaches get started.
This session will look at the things social engineers use to trick users into performing the kinds of actions that lead to security breaches and ways to identify and counteract these attacks. It will also discuss recent real-world attacks and the social engineering tricks that made them effective.
Topics include:
- The Perception vs. Reality Dilemma
- Focus redirection
- Psychology behind the attacks
- Identifying and developing defensive practices

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Two Paths to ISO Compliance
Although the Security Profession has always aspired to prevent adverse events, we have found ourselves stymied in the world of Reactive Detection—the path most commonly taken in one’s pursuit of ISO compliance. Our webinar will explore the new emerging paradigm Artificial Intelligence (AI) and what it portends for the future.
Main points covered:
• Security Profession always aspired to be Proactive, but found ourselves stymied in the World of the Reactive.
• Traditional boundaries of interest are growing ever more porous, exacerbated by the exponential growth of the IoT.
• With the advance of AI we now have a choice: remain ensconced in the paradigms of the past or evolve to the new proactive paradigm which AI portends.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Editor's Notes
- Today, any given security technology has this ramp, showing the lifespan of threat defense solutions.
- But the real issue is that each organization may have many security technologies, each with its own ramp. As a result, failure to keep technology current means the defensive posture of the organization falls in the “valley of evasion.”
- Cyber Threat Alliance Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act Information Sharing and Analysis Centers Cyber Information Sharing and Collaboration Program There is a range of breadth vs. depth / speed in the various approaches to information sharing. Regardless, they all represent an effort to change the impact or economics from a given attack technique. “Patient zero” is still impacted but other organizations can be better protected from the same attack, which drives up R&D costs for the attacking organization. It’s challenging to bring together threat data and insights from siloed security technologies and systems. Sharing threat intelligence, investigating incidents, and responding to an attack is still a largely manual process, and point-to-point product integrations are time consuming and difficult to maintain as you upgrade product versions.
- Admiral Mike Rogers assumed his present duties as commander, U.S. Cyber Command and director, National Security Agency/Chief, Central Security Service in March 2014. Since becoming a flag officer in 2007, he has also served as the director for Intelligence for both the Joint Chiefs of Staff and U.S. Pacific Command, and most recently as commander, U.S. Fleet Cyber Command/U.S. 10th Fleet. Duties afloat have included service as a Surface Warfare Officer, senior cryptologist, fleet information operations officer, and fleet cryptologist. Ashore, Admiral Rogers has commanded Naval Security Group Activity and has served at the Naval Security Group Department; as Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet; and as Commander, Naval Security Group Command. He is a graduate of the National War College and Naval War College, and also a MIT fellow and Harvard Senior Executive in National Security alumnus. Congressman Mike Rogers, in addition to being a former member of the U.S. house, has also served as an officer in the Army and FBI special agent. He chaired the House Intelligence Committee, becoming a leader on cybersecurity and national security policy, and overseeing the 17 intelligence agencies’ $70 billion budget. Today Mike hosts the nationally-syndicated radio commentary "Something to Think About" on Westwood One, is a CNN national security commentator, and hosts and produces CNN’s “Declassified.” Mike sits on the board of IronNet Cybersecurity and MITRE Corporation, and advises Next Century Corporation and Trident Capital. He is a Trustee at Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress.
