Advanced Persistent Threats Cutting Through The HypeSymantec
The document discusses advanced persistent threats (APTs), providing definitions and context. It notes that APTs are active, long-term cyberattacks that target specific organizations and individuals. The document outlines the four stages of an APT - incursion, discovery, capture, and exfiltration. It also discusses why organizations should care about APTs given their serious nature and ability to access valuable information. Finally, it recommends security assessments and advisory services to help reveal gaps in protection against APTs.
Uncovering ICS Threat Activity Groups for Intelligence-Driven Defense: Dragos has released information about eight threat activity groups that have targeted industrial companies. These groups range from espionage, to learning industrial environments for future effects, to causing a power outage and targeting human life directly. But what are threat activity groups? They are different than what is normally tracked in the community as threat actors and have a different focus for defenders.
Birds of a Feather 2017: 邀請分享 Place of Attribution in Threat Intelligence - F...HITCON GIRLS
This document discusses principles of threat attribution through analyzing artifacts left behind by threat actors. It explains that attribution is difficult as there are usually multiple possible explanations but outlines approaches like examining metadata, anomalies, targeting patterns, and mistakes over time. Specific case studies are presented on a hacking back of a command and control server, using stolen certificates to attribute Lazarus, and clues in timestamps and encoding errors that point to Lazarus having Korean origins.
The document discusses several key topics in cybersecurity including:
1. The importance of acting ethically and legally when conducting security assessments or penetration testing.
2. Common attack methodologies hackers use including footprinting, scanning, enumeration, and escalation of privilege.
3. Types of reconnaissance hackers perform such as passive information gathering and active techniques like port scanning.
4. The goals attackers try to achieve including maintaining long-term access and covering their tracks.
Using Static Binary Analysis To Find Vulnerabilities And Backdoors in FirmwareLastline, Inc.
Over the last few years, as the world has moved closer to realizing the idea of the Internet of Things, an increasing number of the analog things with which we used to interact every day have been replaced with connected devices. The increasingly-complex systems that drive these devices have one thing in common – they must all communicate to carry out their intended functionality. Such communication is handled by firmware embedded in the device. And firmware, like any piece of software, is susceptible to a wide range of errors and vulnerabilities.
Peter Wood has worked as an ethical hacker for the past 20 years, with clients in sectors as diverse as banking, insurance, retail and manufacturing. He will describe how advanced persistent threats operate from a security intelligence perspective, based on published case studies and analysis. He will highlight APT entry points and exploitation techniques and suggest practical prevention and detection strategies.
This document discusses secure computer systems and presents three approaches inspired by biological principles:
1) Innate immunity refers to new hardware and operating system architectures that eliminate common vulnerabilities.
2) Adaptive immunity uses middleware to diagnose vulnerabilities, quickly adapt and reconfigure systems, and learn from previous attacks.
3) Population diversity uses computational techniques to increase entropy, make each system unique, and raise the work factor for attackers.
The goal is to develop resilient, adaptive, and secure computer systems using these biological principles.
Intercept X Advanced with EDR provides next-generation endpoint protection, detection and response capabilities. It uses signatureless exploit prevention and behavior-based detection to stop zero-day and advanced threats. The solution offers guided incident response to help understand the full attack chain and scope of incidents. Root cause analysis and automated remediation aid investigation and response. Its integration of top-rated endpoint protection and intelligent EDR aims to reduce security workload through stronger prevention and expertise-adding features rather than extra headcount.

Lessons learned from hundreds of cyber espionage breaches by TT and Ashley - ...CODE BLUE
Cyber espionage attacks have been aware of for around 10 years. Security vendors keep inventing new technology to defend against attack. Many solutions look fancy, however breaches keep happening. People spent a lot of budget to improve their fences, but the effectiveness of these security products remains doubtful. In Taiwan, we have more than 10 years history with cyber espionage attacks. Government, enterprises, and security vendors were fighting hard with threat actors, but new victims still got compromised day by day.
In recent years, a lot of Japanese government agencies, defense industry, enterprises are suffering from cyber attacks from cyber espionage groups. We keep seeing breaches and incidents from news. We believe many victims still have no good strategy to defend and control the situation.
In this talk, cyber espionage attacks in the last decade would be discussed from Asia Pacific region’s point of view. We’ll discuss why security solutions didn’t work, how actors easily bypassed those fancy solutions and adopted countermeasures quickly with very low cost. Besides, according to our incident response’s experience for hundreds times and consulting to help victim for several years, we will try to propose a design of security model to prevent, detect, react, and remediate cyber espionage threats.
This document discusses threat hunting using deception techniques. It begins by noting that companies get hacked due to low visibility of threats, an ever changing threat landscape, and too many false positives. It then discusses how deception works to detect threats by misleading hackers and monitoring their activities on decoys. The rest of the document provides examples of deception techniques across different stages of an attack kill chain to detect and respond to threats continuously rather than during discrete incident response events. It emphasizes the importance of intelligence-driven deception strategies.

This document provides an introduction to malware techniques and classifications. It discusses the different types of malware like viruses, worms, trojans, and botnets. Viruses are classified based on their target (boot sector, files, data files) and infection mechanism (fast/slow infectors, camouflage). Early viruses included boot sector and file infectors, while macro viruses became more prevalent later as Microsoft applications gained popularity. Detection and naming of malware is challenging due to the lack of standardization and fast evolution of threats.

Out of the Blue: Responding to New Zero-Day ThreatsPeter Wood
Peter Wood is the CEO of First Base Technologies LLP, an ethical hacking firm. He discusses how zero-day threats are a major concern for CIOs due to attacks being strategic and using easy-to-use tools. Examples of zero-day attacks provided are the Aurora attack which targeted intellectual property and the RSA attack which used spear phishing. Minimizing vulnerabilities requires thinking like an attacker and conducting ongoing security testing rather than relying solely on traditional perimeter defenses. CIOs should be engaged before an attack occurs to secure necessary security budgets and approvals.
Ransomware type of malware which restricts access to the computer system that it infects, and demands a ransom paid to the creator(s) of the malware in order for the restriction to be removed. It deliberately locks you out of your computer or your files, and then demands money to let you back in.

This risk assessment document identifies hazards students may face while filming or taking photos in college. Tripping over camera leads poses a possible risk of minor or major injury. Getting equipment stolen presents a possible risk of major injury if equipment is not properly secured. Leaving equipment on the floor poses a remote risk of minor or major injury if others trip. Dropping equipment poses a minor risk of injury, which can be reduced by using proper equipment. Control measures like securing leads, storing equipment securely, and not leaving items on the floor can help reduce these risks.

Future-proofing Supply Chain against emerging Cyber-physical ThreatsSteven SIM Kok Leong
1) Future cyber-physical threats to supply chains are becoming more sophisticated and impactful, and all organizations with a cyber footprint can potentially be breached.
2) To future-proof supply chains, organizations must understand emerging threats, adopt frameworks like NIST and ISO for cybersecurity best practices, and focus on governance, risk management, and continual assessment of security controls.
3) Partnerships across industries and information sharing on threats and mitigations will be important to strengthening global cybersecurity defenses against the evolving threat landscape.
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks are sophisticated, targeted, and persistent cyber attacks. APT attackers use reconnaissance, vulnerabilities, and multiple attack vectors to gain access and persist on a network. Organizations can reduce APT risk through understanding attack anatomy, managing risk, ensuring compliance, and instituting policies around data access, detection technologies, network segregation, and patching systems. Global collaboration is also needed to effectively prevent APT attacks.

Finding the Sweet Spot: Counter Honeypot Operations (CHOps) by Jonathan Creek...EC-Council
Today there is a dispute over the ethics of operations involving honeypots and honeynets in cyber security. However, many organizations will adopt the use of such techniques and tools to develop defensive strategies to stop attackers. For professional offensive security practitioners, detecting, bypassing, and even avoiding honeypots is a new challenge and much is to be discovered and shared. This brief will work to accomplish these objectives and begin the development of a new framework for Counter Honeypot Operations (CHOps).
This document discusses understanding cyber attackers by examining their means and motivations. It outlines that modern attacks are often organized crimes for financial gain carried out by dedicated teams. Common roles in these operations include malware developers, distributors, and hosting providers. The document then provides a hypothetical example of how one could get involved, describing the business model, tools, and methods that could be used. It emphasizes that penetration testing can help defend networks by identifying vulnerabilities from an attacker's perspective. Key recommendations include limiting exposure, monitoring networks, educating users, and realizing that antivirus alone is not sufficient. Emerging threats on mobile devices are also highlighted.
This document summarizes a presentation on Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) given by Aryeh Goretsky, a Distinguished Researcher at ESET. The presentation defines APTs as determined adversaries who conduct cyber attacks in phases, including reconnaissance of targets, analysis of vulnerabilities, development of tools to exploit vulnerabilities, trial runs of attacks, and implantation of attacks on targets. It discusses techniques used in APTs, such as rootkits, command and control servers, custom file systems and partitions, evasion methods, firmware attacks, and programming languages. The presentation aims to explain how to think like a determined adversary conducting a cyber attack campaign.
This document provides an overview of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and strategies for addressing them. It summarizes CBI, an IT security solutions provider, and their Enterprise Security Practice. It then details the attack cycle of APTs and provides examples of recent APT attacks. Finally, it recommends deploying Symantec's Data Loss Prevention solution and related services to monitor for data exfiltration and protect confidential information from APTs.

"ENG++: Permutation Oriented Programming" por Nelson BritoSegInfo
- Permutation Oriented Programming (POP) is a technique that aims to circumvent pattern-matching security solutions by analyzing vulnerabilities in depth to find alternatives and variants, intending to change the behavior of exploit developers and provide unpredictable payloads through randomness.
- POP focuses on manipulating the vulnerable ecosystem and memory rather than shellcode execution, aiming to exploit older vulnerabilities even when only mitigated instead of patched.
- By generating diverse variants, POP treats old exploits as new vulnerabilities not matched by signatures according to pattern-matching approaches.
This presentation will take a high level look at the malware life cycle and the role that both hackers and IT professionals play in it. It should be interesting to IT professionals as well as individuals interested in learning more about the general approach used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to systems, applications, and sensitive data.

The document discusses strategies for maximizing home-field advantage in cybersecurity defense. It argues that defenders should flip the perspective of red team attackers by mapping assets and security issues, correlating internal and external threat data over time, and taking proactive measures like counterintelligence operations. Examples given include infiltrating hacker communities to booby-trap tools and using attackers' own tools against them. The presentation calls on vendors to develop integrative security products and defenders to own their security data and intelligence in order to focus defenses on real risks rather than compliance.

The document discusses security best practices, focusing on the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). The SDL is a 6-month iterative process that includes threat modeling, secure coding guidelines, code reviews, testing, and response. It aims to integrate security into all phases of development. Key SDL principles discussed are attack surface reduction, basic privacy, threat modeling, defense in depth, least privilege, and secure defaults.

4. What APT is Not...
• Bot nets, Rogue antispyware, DOS and DDOS attacks
• Categorized by the techniques of intrusion, and not
considering the people or motive
• Typically defined as:
• Any intrusion not discovered by current security
technology
• Any intrusion that uses advanced techniques, such as zero
day exploits
One reason for confusion:
Many Cyber Criminal teams are adopting (buying or bartering) APT-built
techniques because of their effectiveness.

5. APT campaigns are not about being the anomaly,
but part of the normal:
• APT campaign will take advantage of trust
relationship
• APT campaign is low and slow, as opposed to broad
attempts, aggressive, or obvious
• APT campaign is patient and will take time to
achieve their objectives
• APT campaign will conceal actions by using
legitimate accounts and protocols
• APT campaign will utilize a current account and
enumerate information with those privileges
• APT campaign will attempt to create new accounts
with administrative privilege
