The Hacking Team breach resulted in more than 400GBs of sensitive information being publicly released, including the source code for the offensive security programs the company sold and details on zero-day exploits. The leak had significant repercussions in the security world and caused major technology vendors (including Adobe and Microsoft) to issue emergency patches.
In this presentation, you’ll hear about the results of Cybereason’s investigation into the Hacking Team’s operation as well as the writeup by Phineas Phisher, who claims credit for the hack. We’ll discuss what we learned and what we think it means for defenders moving forward.

Detection of Malware Downloads via Graph Mining (AsiaCCS '16)Marco Balduzzi
Mastino, a novel defense system to detect malware download events. A download event is a 3-tuple that identifies the action of downloading a file from a URL that was triggered by a client (machine). Mastino utilizes global situation awareness and continuously monitors various network- and system-level events of the clients' machines across the Internet and provides real time classification of both files and URLs to the clients upon submission of a new, unknown file or URL to the system. To enable detection of the download events, Mastino builds a large download graph that captures the subtle relationships among the entities of download events, i.e. files, URLs, and machines. We implemented a prototype version of Mastino and evaluated it in a large-scale real-world deployment. Our experimental evaluation shows that Mastino can accurately classify malware download events with an average of 95.5% true positive (TP), while incurring less than 0.5% false positives (FP). In addition, we show the Mastino can classify a new download event as either benign or malware in just a fraction of a second, and is therefore suitable as a real time defense system.
Reverse Engineering Malware: A look inside Operation TovarLancope, Inc.
Join us as we step through the reverse engineering of CryptoLocker, identifying important functionality and weaknesses. We'll demonstrate how we were able to use this information to help protect our customers months ago, the weaknesses that the Department of Justice took advantage of, and how you can do the same for other types of malware down the line.
MITRE ATT&CKcon 2018: Sofacy 2018 and the Adversary Playbook, Robert Falcone,...MITRE - ATT&CKcon
Unit 42 researches threat activity and publishes detailed reports on attack campaigns launched by these adversaries. One of these adversaries, known as Sofacy, has been carrying out attack campaigns on high profile targets for many years and has continued into 2018.
To understand how to defend against these threats, an analyst has to read our reports, process them and mentally map them to their defenses. In most cases we expect readers just "block" all of the indicators we include in the report and assume they are covered. Last year we started using ATT&CK to codify the techniques we observed, linking those techniques to indicator patterns and encoding them into STIX 2 objects, with the goal of creating something that a defender can use to answer the question: "How am I defending against this adversary?" We call these documents, "Adversary Playbooks" as they contain our best approximation of how the adversary launches their attacks.
This talk describes the concept of Adversary Playbooks, as well as provides an overview of the attack campaigns Unit 42 has attributed to the Sofacy group in 2018. It uses the discussed attacks to show how these playbooks are constructed and explain some of the challenges of incorporating ATT&CK and STIX 2 together for this purpose.

MITRE ATT&CKcon 2018: Hunters ATT&CKing with the Data, Roberto Rodriguez, Spe...MITRE - ATT&CKcon
With the development of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and its categorization of adversary activity during the attack cycle, understanding what to hunt for has become easier and more efficient than ever. However, organizations are still struggling to understand how they can prioritize the development of hunt hypothesis, assess their current security posture, and develop the right analytics with the help of ATT&CK. Even though there are several ways to utilize ATT&CK to accomplish those goals, there are only a few that are focusing primarily on the data that is currently being collected to drive the success of a hunt program.
This presentation shows how organizations can benefit from mapping their current visibility from a data perspective to the ATT&CK framework. It focuses on how to identify, document, standardize and model current available data to enhance a hunt program. It presents an updated ThreatHunter-Playbook, a Kibana ATT&CK dashboard, a new project named Open Source Security Events Metadata known as OSSEM and expands on the “data sources” section already provided by ATT&CK on most of the documented adversarial techniques.

Inside Cybercrime Groups Harvesting Active Directory for Fun and Profit - Vit...PROIDEA
Vitali presents malware techniques and tricks on how to reverse engineer and analyze malware families exploiting active directory. The talk dives deeper into pseudo-source code level analysis and malware developer implementation of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) harvesting techniques for lateral movement and persistence across corporate environment. The talks explores three prolific malware families such as TrickBot, QakBot, and IcedID (BokBot) and their coding routine and patterns that are focused on collecting LDAP. For example, TrickBot specifically grabs credential and group policy information stored in “SYSVOL” das well as searching for corporate machines for possible sensitive machines associated with possible point-of-sale terminals on domain controller. Vitali also presents detection and mitigation methods on how to detect active directory exploitation and discusses defense mechanisms surrounding most popular active methods used in the wild by the sophisticated groups.
This is about what is threat hunting and how to perform it in cyberworld. Our traditional detection systems are being bypassed and we need modern approach to detect & respond to modern day threats.

For organizations and individuals with limited security budgets, successfully hunting for cyber adversaries can be a daunting challenge. Threat Intelligence can be expensive and sometimes
nothing more than IoCs or blacklists. In this talk, Endgame’s threat research team will present a series of techniques that can enable organizations to leverage free or almost-free sources of
data and open-source tools to “hunt on the cheap.” They’ll explain how to: retrieve attackers’ tools from globally distributed honeynets that look like your organization or a juicy launching
point to attackers; enrich the data past basic file/tool hashes to identify malicious command and control IPs/domains through automated binary analysis using open-source sandboxes and tools; and use passive DNS data to identify active infections and enrich existing data sets. Attendees will learn how to apply these three techniques to hunt for adversaries within their own
networks. They will also learn about the various open-source solutions available, such as graph databases, that make these techniques inexpensive and within the scope of many organizations.

Abstract: The exponential growth of the internet and new technology lead today's world in a hectic situation both positive as well as the negative module. Cybercriminals gamble in the dark net using numerous techniques. This leads to cybercrime. Cyber threats like Malware attempt to infiltrate the computer or mobile device offline or internet, chat(online), and anyone can be a potential target. Malware is also known as malicious software is often used by cybercriminals to achieve their goal by tracking internet activity, capturing sensitive information, or blocking computer access. Reverse engineering is one of the best ways to prevent and is a powerful tool to keep the fight against cyber attacks. Most people in the cyber world see it as a black hat—It is said as being used to steal data and intellectual property. But when it is in the hands of cybersecurity experts, reverse engineering dons the white hat of the hero. Looking at the program from the outside in –often by a third party that had no hand in writing the code. It allows those who practice it to understand how a given program or system works when no source code is available. Reverse engineering accomplishing several tasks related to cybersecurity: finding system vulnerabilities, researching malware &analyzing the complexity of restoring core software algorithms that can further protect against theft. It is hard to hack certain software.

Malware is a worldwide pandemic. It is designed to damage computer systems without
the knowledge of the owner using the system. Software‟s from reputable vendors also contain
malicious code that affects the system or leaks information‟s to remote servers. Malware‟s includes
computer viruses, spyware, dishonest ad-ware, rootkits, Trojans, dialers etc. Malware detectors are
the primary tools in defense against malware. The quality of such a detector is determined by the
techniques it uses. It is therefore imperative that we study malware detection techniques and
understand their strengths and limitations. This survey examines different types of Malware and
malware detection methods.
Deep Learning based Threat / Intrusion detection systemAffine Analytics
The article is about a Threat/Intrusion Detection System, which could be used to detect such data leaks/breaches & take a preventive action to contain, if not stop the damage due to breach.
Basic survey on malware analysis, tools and techniquesijcsa
The term malware stands for malicious software. It is a program installed on a system without the
knowledge of owner of the system. It is basically installed by the third party with the intention to steal some
private data from the system or simply just to play pranks. This in turn threatens the computer’s security,
wherein computer are used by one’s in day-to-day life as to deal with various necessities like education,
communication, hospitals, banking, entertainment etc. Different traditional techniques are used to detect
and defend these malwares like Antivirus Scanner (AVS), firewalls, etc. But today malware writers are one
step forward towards then Malware detectors. Day-by-day they write new malwares, which become a great
challenge for malware detectors. This paper focuses on basis study of malwares and various detection
techniques which can be used to detect malwares.
A Comparison Study of Open Source Penetration Testing Toolsijtsrd
Penetration testing also known as Pen Test is a series of activities which is performed by authorized simulated attack on computer system, network or web application to find vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. It helps confirm the efficiency and effectiveness of the various security measures that have been implemented. In the world of Open Source Software, even Penetration Testing is not untouched. The purpose of this pilot study was to compare various the open source penetration testing tools.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. About Me
[Rahul Sasi ]
I work as a Researcher.
One of the admins of
www.Garage4Hackers.com.
https://twitter.com/fb1h2s
I spend my free time researching on new attack
vectors.
Garage4Hackers
4. APT - Attacks
Advance Persistent threats: Any exploit |
malware that particularly targets a specific
organization, country in order to steal confidential
information.
Garage4Hackers
5. About this Talk
With the rise in number of targeted attacks
against government and private companies,
there is a certain requirement for an intelligent
method for determining these attacks.
This talk would be on an un-detected APT attack
targeting Indian police organizations which we
identified a week back.
Sandy is a free tool we have build that is capable
of doing exploit analysis on Doc, RTF, XLS,PPT,
Jar, Urls.
We also will explain the implications and policy
Garage4Hackers
guidelines for the prevention of these attacks.
6. APT: Who should be concerned.
You need ask yourself what have u got that other
people would want .
Commercially sensitive information, Intellectual
property that has designs.
What I have seen is mostly, government,
manufactures, financial services.
Garage4Hackers
7. My organization is small!
Many attacks I have seen were
attacking small companies.
And most of the times its the startup that have the innovative
technology that can be used.
Or could be small organization
working for the government.
We have seen smaller organizations
targeted as much as the larger
organizations.
Garage4Hackers
8. Recent APT Incident in news.
FBI released a notice on
targeted attack on US aviation
Industry.
Many professionals from the
aviation industry was targeted
and there computers were
infected or an attempt to infect
was made.
Steal blueprints, new airspace
technology and lots of stuffs .
Garage4Hackers
10. Step 1: Establishing the backdoor.
Use of various Exploits .
Uses malicious attachments via email to infect
victims.
These contained exploits targeting various
applications like Adobe Reader and Microsoft
Office.
Browser based exploits where you visit a
particular a web page crafted with an exploits
Garage4Hackers
11. Document Exploits.
Uses an exploit.
File comes in the form of .doc
.rtf file that has the exploit
embedded.
Once you open these doc files
you would be infected.
These exploits affect OS with
office | pdf installed.
Garage4Hackers
12. What is Sandy
A tool built under Indian Honeynet project.
Sandy is an online tool (sandbox) capable of doing
both static and dynamic analysis of Malicious Office,
PDF, Jar, Flash, HTML.
The input would be the above mentioned file formats
and output would be extracted malwares, controllers,
Urls.
In the talk I will share information on a particular
sample targeting Indian police department that we
received via sandy .
Garage4Hackers
14. Sandy Submission:
On 2013-09-03 we received a .doc file on sandy.
The exploit email was sent to the company’s top
executives of an IT security company.
At the time of analysis only 2/34 Anti Virus was
detecting it as malicious.
The document when opened on windows based
machines dropped a backdoor on the users
computer.
Garage4Hackers
15. Research on the Attackers
We managed to collect 30 other exploits that
were used by the same group over a period of 1
year and analyzed them.
We tried to understand the attackers tools and
techniques, Modus operandi and targets.
Out of the 30 exploits none of them was made on
a Saturday or Sunday .
Garage4Hackers
16. Based on our research on the Malware
infrastructure .
We were able to identify that the same group of
attackers were targeting Indian police agencies .
We were able to locate a new persistence
malware with no AV detection, which is digitally
signed and is used by this team.
Except 1 Chinese AV no other AV company was
detecting the threat.
The attacks were part of a Cyber spying [
campaign].
Garage4Hackers
17. Modus operandi
&
Tools and Techniques
The attacker were mainly using phishing based
attacks via email to infect there targets.
The attackers were manually verifying the
infected machines and were adding the new
persistence malware to it.
So if they found the infected machine of high
importance then they added a secondary
advance monitoring tool to there systems.
Garage4Hackers
18. Targets
Targets were mainly government organizations.
Small private companies and contractors to the
government.
Most of the infected computers were that of the
secretaries .
Garage4Hackers
20. Lessons Learned and Policy
Implications.
Knowing what you need to protect is the most
important task.
Active Government and community partnership is
necessary.
Security awareness among employees: the
human firewall.
No single layer of fraud prevention or
authentication is enough to stop determined
attackers.

Editor's Notes
I was privilaged to publish my research papers in many prominent Security conferecnes.
So in simple terms, the bad guys will install a malicious program on your computer that would allow them to monitor all your confidential data. The malicious programs either uploads all confidential records to a central attaker controlled computer or provides live monitoring.
We will introduce a tool named sandy that we build and is free, that helped us in the identification of this risk.
It does not mean t
Attacker backdoor your system with a malicious program , Then the enumerate the network looking for more valid credentials like user account and passwords. Then then install more persistent utlities .
The input of sandy is fileformats. In this talk I will share about the various samples we collected on sandy.
The tool has got a web interface and could be accessed from the following locations. So if you receive an email with a suspicious file, you can upload on our tool and the tool would be able to provide you information on whether it is an exploit or a clean file.
It is always good to study ur attackers.This means the attackers work form an organized office environment and does not work on week ends.
So what we observed was, when a successful attack takes place the attacker log in to there victims computers remotely and then verify whether the infection is of high/low priority .
As part of the re-assessment process, an organisation must ensure it understands why it may be attacked. "Every organisation should draw up a risk register that will allow the allocation of funds and resources to protect the assets that are most valuable to the organisation, which may include business processes as well as information. As bessi mentioned an Active gov community partnership is needed where individual researchers are able to communicate identified issues to the gov directly. If the CEO of a company is getting security awarness and all his emails are operated by his secretary , then she is as mush as a target than him.
