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.

BSidesLV 2016 - Powershell - Hunting on the Endpoint - GerritzChristopher Gerritz
BSides Las Vegas 2016 Talk: Powershell-fu: Hunting on the Endpoint. Presented the PSHunt framework (which will be released on Github) and methodology for hunting on the endpoint using Powershell across an enterprise or on an individual system.
Who should attend? Anyone that works in security and wants to leverage their machine data to detect internal and advanced threats, monitor activities in real time, and improve their organization's security posture.
Description: 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.
The Hunter Games: How to Find the Adversary with Event Query LanguageRoss Wolf
Circle City Con 2019 and BSides SATX 2019
Abstract:
How do you find malicious activity? We often resort to the cliche, you know it when you see it, but how do you even see it, without drowning in data? MITRE’s ATT&CK knowledge base organizes adversary behavior into tactics and techniques, and orients our approach to endpoint data. It suggests questions that might be worth asking, but not a way to ask them. The Event Query Language (EQL) allows a security analyst to naturally express queries for IOC search, hunting, and behavioral detections, while remaining platform and data source agnostic.
In this talk, I will demonstrate the iterative process of establishing situational awareness in your environment, creating targeted detections, and hunting for the adversary in your environment with real data, queries, and results.

Abstract:
Red team testing in organizations over the last year has shown a dramatic increase in detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK™ across Windows, Linux and macOS. However, many organizations continue to miss several key techniques that, unsurprisingly, often blend in with day-to-day user operations. One example includes Trusted Developer Utilities which can be readily available on standard user endpoints, not just developer workstations, and such applications allow for code execution. Also, XSL Script processing can be used as an attack vector as there are a number of trusted utilities that can consume and execute scripts via XSL. And finally, in addition to these techniques, trusted .NET default binaries are known to allow unauthorized execution as well, these include tools like InstallUtil, Regsvcs and AddInProcess. Specific techniques, coupled with procedural difficulties within a team, such as alert fatigue and lack of understanding with environmental norms, make reliable detection of these events near impossible.
This talk summarizes prevalent and ongoing gaps across organizations uncovered by testing their defenses against a broad spectrum of attacks via Atomic Red Team. Many of these adversary behaviors are not atomic, but span multiple events in an event stream that may be arbitrarily and inconsistently separated in time by nuisance events.
Additionally, we introduce and demonstrate the open-sourced Event Query Language for creating high signal-to-noise analytics that close these prevalent behavioral gaps. EQL is event agnostic and can be used to craft analytics that readily link evidence across long sequences of log data. In a live demonstration, we showcase powerful but easy to craft analytics that catch adversarial behavior most commonly missed in organizations today.
A follow on to the Encyclopedia Of Windows Privilege Escalation published by InsomniaSec at Ruxcon 2011, this talk is aimed at detailing not just escalation from user to admin and admin to system, but persistence and forced authentication as well as a few other treats.

PuppetConf 2017: Inviting Windows to the Puppet Party- Chris Kittell & Derek ...Puppet
Adding Windows servers to a Puppet instance can feel like a daunting task, even more so when you already have a large number of Linux servers in Puppet already. Learn how Walmart integrated their Windows servers into Puppet Enterprise. We’ll discuss not only why we chose Puppet over other tools, but why and how we still use tools like DSC, SCCM and GPOs. We’ll also go over the successes and pitfalls we had along the way in using Puppet on Windows, onboarding other teams, and evangelizing our team’s vision to others.
The last few years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of PowerShell-based penetration testing tools. A benefit of tools written in PowerShell is that it is installed by default on every Windows system. This allows us as attackers to “”live off the land””. It also has built-in functionality to run in memory bypassing most security products.
I will walk through various methodologies I use surrounding popular PowerShell tools. Details on attacking an organization remotely, establishing command and control, and escalating privileges within an environment all with PowerShell will be discussed. You say you’ve blocked PowerShell? Techniques for running PowerShell in locked down environments that block PowerShell will be highlighted as well.
Over the last few years threat hunting has risen from being a grassroots hands-on defensive technique to all-out hype as security vendors have jumped on the bandwagon. In this talk I wanted to strip away the marketing and talk about real-life threat hunting at scale and how it differs from traditional security monitoring. I'll cover the key datasets, different analytical approaches, cutting-edge TTPs and the people/skills needed to make it happen. I'll also share some real-world compromises that would have been missed by traditional detection but were found through hands-on threat hunting.

Taking the Attacker Eviction Red Pill (v2.0)Frode Hommedal
This presentation is about how you can structure your analysis to increase the chances of success when attempting to evict an advanced attacker. It's my thoughts on how to think when deciding how and when to respond and attempt to evict a mission driven attacker from your infrastructure. This is a continuation of my previous work on the Cyber Threat Intelligence Matrix.
P.S. The concepts are still work in progress, and the slide deck is a bit rough around the edges, but I hope it can spark some ideas and help you out. If you have feedback I would also greatly appreciate hearing from you, e.g. on Twitter (@FrodeHommedal).
MS Just Gave the Blue Team Tactical Nukes (And How Red Teams Need To Adapt) -...Chris Thompson
"Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection will soon be available for all Blue Teams to utilize within Windows 10 Enterprise, which includes detection of post breach tools, tactics and techniques commonly used by Red Teams, as well as behavior analytics. Combined with Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics for user behavior analytics across the Domain, Red Teamers will soon face a significantly more challenging time maintaining stealth while performing internal recon, lateral movement, and privilege escalation in Windows 10/Active Directory environments.
This talk highlights challenges to red teams posed by Microsoft's new tools based on common hacking tools/techniques, and covers techniques which can be used to bypass, disable, or avoid high severity alerts within Windows Defender ATP and Microsoft ATA, as well as TTP used against mature organizations that may have additional controls in place such as Event Log Forwarding and Sysmon."
Keeping Up with the Adversary: Creating a Threat-Based Cyber TeamPriyanka Aash
With advanced cyber-actors evolving quickly and becoming more stealthy, it has become imperative to question the status quo of our existing cyber-operations. This session will outline how a case study and incident response led to changes in focus and philosophy and how that changed the structure of Defensive Cyber Operations.

Defcon 27 - Writing custom backdoor payloads with C#Mauricio Velazco
This workshop aims to provide attendees hands-on experience on writing custom backdoor payloads using C# for the most common command and control frameworks including Metasploit, Powershell Empire and Cobalt Strike. The workshop consists in 7 lab exercises; each of the exercises goes over a different technique that leverages C# and .NET capabilities to obtain a reverse shell on a victim Windows host. The covered techniques include raw shellcode injection, process injection, process hollowing, runtime compilation, parent pid spoofing, antivirus bypassing, etc. At the end of this workshop attendees will have a clear understanding of these techniques both from an attack and defense perspective.

Owning computers without shell access 2Royce Davis
These are the slides from my talk at BSides Puerto Rico 2013. I will post a link to the slides later.
Abstract:
For many years Penetration Testers have relied on gaining shell access to remote systems in order to take ownership of network resources and enterprise owned assets. AntiVirus (AV) companies are becoming increasingly more aware of shell signatures and are therefore making it more and more difficult to compromise remote hosts. The current industry mentality seams to believe the answer is stealthier payloads and super complex obfuscation techniques. I believe a more effective answer might lie in alternative attack methodologies involving authenticated execution of native Windows commands to accomplish the majority of shell reliant tasks common to most network level penetration tests. The techniques I will be discussing were developed precisely with this style of attack in mind. Using these new tools, I will demonstrate how to accomplish the same degree of network level compromise that has been enjoyed in the past with shell-based attack vectors, while avoiding detection from AV solut
In theory, post-exploitation after having remote access is easy. Also in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. Imagine a scenario, where you have deployed a malware on a user’s workstation, but the target information is on a secure server accessed via two-factor authentication, with screen access only (e.g. RDP, Citrix, etc.). On top of that, the server runs application white-listing, and only the inbound port to the screen server (e.g. 3389) is allowed through the hardware firewall. But you also need persistent interactive C&C communication (e.g. Netcat, Meterpreter, RAT) to this server through the user’s workstation.
I developed (and will publish) two tools that help you in these situations. The first tool can drop malware to the server through the screen while the user is logged in. The second tool can help you to circumvent the hardware firewall after we can execute code on the server with admin privileges (using a signed kernel driver). My tools are generic meaning that they work against Windows server 2012 and Windows 8, and they work with RDP or other remote desktops. The number of problems you can solve with them are endless, e.g., communicating with bind-shell on webserver behind restricted DMZ. Beware, live demo and fun included!
Hacking Highly Secured Enterprise Environments by Zoltan BalazsShakacon
In theory, post-exploitation after having remote access is easy. Also in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. Imagine a scenario, where the hacker/penetration-tester has deployed a malware on a user's workstation, but the target information is on a secure server accessed via two-factor authentication, with screen access only (e.g. RDP, Citrix, etc.) On top of that, the server runs application white-listing, and only the inbound port to the screen server (e.g. 3389) is allowed through the hardware firewall. But you also need persistent interactive C&C communication (e.g. Netcat, Meterpreter, RAT) to this server through the user's workstation.
I developed (and will publish) two tools that help the community in these situations. The first tool can drop malware to the server through the screen while the user is logged in. The second tool can help to circumvent the hardware firewall after one can execute code on the server with admin privileges (using a signed kernel driver).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
