Java Journal & Pyresso: A Python-Based Framework for Debugging Java
Despite the multitude of Java decompilers available, we often have the need to debug or trace malicious or obfuscated Java bytecode. Existing Java debuggers and tracers are mostly targeted towards Java developers, are closed-source, and are not meant to handle malicious or obfuscated targets. We present a new open-source cross-platform framework for debugging Java, written completely in Python, designed specifically for reverse engineering. We also present a Java method call tracer as a sample Python application that utilizes this framework.
CrowdCast Monthly: Operationalizing Intelligence
In today’s threat environment, adversaries are constantly profiling and attacking your corporate infrastructure to access and collect your intellectual property, proprietary data, and trade secrets. Now, more than ever, Threat Intelligence is increasingly important for organizations who want to proactively defend against advanced threat actors.
While many organizations today are collecting massive amount of threat intelligence, are they able to translate the information into an effective defense strategy?
View the slides now to learn about threat intelligence for operational purposes, including real-world demonstrations of how to consume intelligence and integrate it with existing security infrastructure.
Learn how to prioritize response by differentiating between commodity and targeted attacks and develop a defense that responds to specific methods used by advanced attackers.
Battling Unknown Malware with Machine Learning
The document discusses how machine learning can be used to battle unknown malware. It provides examples of using machine learning techniques like feature selection, dimensionality reduction, and classification on military personnel data and malware samples. While machine learning is effective against most malware, it is not enough on its own as many attacks do not use malware. A comprehensive prevention approach is needed to address the full spectrum of threats.
Cloud-Enabled: The Future of Endpoint Security
As the cost and complexity of deploying and maintaining on-premises security continues to rise, many endpoint security providers have embraced the cloud as the ideal way to deliver their solutions. Yet, incorporating cloud services into legacy architectures limits their ability to fully engage the tremendous power the cloud offers.
CrowdStrike Falcon recognized the value of cloud-delivery from the beginning, developing architecture built from the ground up to take full advantage of the cloud. CrowdStrike’s cloud-powered endpoint security not only ensures rapid deployment and infinite scalability, it increases your security posture by enabling real-time advanced threat protection across even the largest, distributed enterprises.
In this CrowdCast, Jackie Castelli, Sr. Product Manager will discuss:
•The advantages of endpoint protection purpose-built for the cloud – why it allows you to take full advantage of the cloud’s power
•The common concerns organizations face when evaluating cloud-based endpoint security - can privacy and control be assured?
•Real-world examples demonstrating the unique advantages offered by CrowdStrike Falcon’s innovative cloud-powered platform
How to Replace Your Legacy Antivirus Solution with CrowdStrike
This document summarizes CrowdStrike's endpoint security product Falcon and argues that it provides more effective protection than legacy antivirus solutions. It notes that antivirus has an efficacy rate of only 45% against modern threats and is ineffective at stopping sophisticated attacks. CrowdStrike's Falcon uses techniques like machine learning, IOAs, and threat intelligence to prevent a wider range of attacks while having a smaller system footprint than antivirus. It also provides detection capabilities like endpoint detection and response to eliminate attack dwell time. The document aims to convince readers to replace their legacy antivirus with CrowdStrike's Falcon.
Be Social. Use CrowdRE.
CrowdRE is an IDA Pro plugin that enables collaborative reverse engineering by allowing analysts to share and synchronize analysis results for malware samples. It uses a version control-like system to manage annotations on functions and types, and features fuzzy matching to import relevant annotations from other analysts who have worked on similar code. The tool aims to improve efficiency of malware analysis by facilitating distributed and collaborative work between reverse engineers.
CrowdCasts Monthly: When Pandas Attack
This document summarizes a CrowdStrike webinar on detecting advanced malware-free intrusions. It describes three speakers from CrowdStrike - Dmitri Alperovitch, Chris Scott, and Adam Meyers. The webinar then discusses how adversaries like China and various state-sponsored and criminal groups are adapting their tactics to evade detection, and how security teams must also adapt detection methods to focus on real-time monitoring rather than indicators of compromise. The webinar includes a case study of detecting a webshell attack in near real-time using CrowdStrike Falcon Host and concludes with a demonstration of its endpoint protection capabilities.
I/O, You Own: Regaining Control of Your Disk in the Presence of Bootkits
This document discusses a technique for regaining control of a disk in the presence of a bootkit by leveraging the crash dump stack in Windows. It provides background on the crash dump stack and how it differs from the normal I/O path. It then describes how identifying and calling the crash dump port and miniport drivers allows sending I/O requests outside of the normal path to bypass bootkit filters and read/write directly to disk. The document concludes with an overview of how this technique can be demonstrated against the TDL4 bootkit.

CrowdCasts Monthly: Mitigating Pass the Hash
Sixteen years later and Pass the Hash (PtH) is still one of the most common techniques a targeted attacker can use to compromise a network. There have been many blogs, webinars, and papers covering different PtH mitigation strategies. With all the information about this particular security vulnerability, networks are still continuously attacked and infiltrated using this technique. It is time to look at the problem from a holistic approach and apply the communities' collective intelligence to make this process one of the most difficult for a targeted attacker to use.
Hacking Exposed Live: Mobile Targeted Threats
The document introduces CrowdStrike speakers George Kurtz, Georg Wicherski, and Alex Radocea. It then discusses the evolution of threats from commercial remote access tools (RATs) to targeted RATs and advanced threats. Examples of commercial RATs like FlexiSPY and targeted RATs like LuckyCat are analyzed. The feasibility of developing exploits and native Android RATs is also explored.
Bear Hunting: History and Attribution of Russian Intelligence Operations
Learn about the history of Russian intelligence influence operations and the cyber actors implementing them today.
In June 2016, CrowdStrike exposed unprecedented efforts by Russian intelligence services to interfere in the U.S. election via the hacking and subsequent leaking of information from political organizations and individuals. Election manipulation was not a new activity for the Russians - they have engaged in these influence operations consistently for the better part of the last two decades inside and outside of Russia.
In this CrowdCast, CrowdStrike experts Adam Meyers, VP of Intelligence, and Dmitri Alperovitch, Co-Founder & CTO, will provide a detailed overview of the history of Russian intelligence influence operations going back decades and provide a deep dive overview of various BEAR (including FANCY BEAR AND COZY BEAR) intrusion sets and their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). They will also discuss the considerable attribution evidence that CrowdStrike has collected from a variety of investigations into their operations and lay out the case for the Russian government connection to these hacks.
End-to-End Analysis of a Domain Generating Algorithm Malware Family
This document summarizes the analysis of a domain generating algorithm (DGA) malware family. Key points include:
- The malware uses inline code obfuscation and encrypted strings to hide its functionality and communication domains. Researchers were able to deobfuscate the code and decrypt the strings to analyze the malware.
- Clues in decrypted strings suggest the malware author is Romani, including references to Romani singers in template strings.
- The malware generates domain names by concatenating two randomly selected words from a dictionary and appending ".net". This allows it to generate many domain variations to communicate with its command and control servers.
- The DGA algorithm uses a 15-bit seed value derived from the
TOR... ALL THE THINGS
The global Tor network and its routing protocols provide an excellent framework for online anonymity. However, the selection of Tor-friendly software for Windows is sub-par at best.
Want to anonymously browse the web? You’re stuck with Firefox, and don’t even think about trying to anonymously use Flash. Want to dynamically analyze malware without letting the C2 server know your home IP address? You’re outta luck. Want to anonymously use any program that doesn’t natively support SOCKS or HTTP proxying? Not gonna happen.
While some solutions currently exist for generically rerouting traffic through Tor, these solutions either don’t support Windows, or can be circumvented by malware, or require an additional network gateway device.
Missed the live session at Black Hat USA 2013? Check out the slides from Jason Geffner's standing room only presentation! Jason released a free new CrowdStrike community tool to securely, anonymously, and transparently route all TCP/IP and DNS traffic through Tor, regardless of the client software, and without relying on VPNs or additional hardware or virtual machines.
You Can't Stop The Breach Without Prevention And Detection
The document discusses the need for a balanced approach to endpoint security that includes both prevention and detection. It argues that relying solely on prevention is not sufficient, as attacks will always get through, requiring detection capabilities to identify breaches. Likewise, detection alone is insufficient, as preventing attacks upfront reduces workload. The document outlines the key components needed to properly unify next-generation antivirus and endpoint detection and response, including complete visibility of endpoint activity, large-scale analysis capacity, and the ability to derive insights and indicators of attack from collected data. An integrated approach is advocated that allows prevention and detection to strengthen one another.

A review of threats in 2016 includes ransomware variants and state-sponsored leaks and tools. The presentation encourages applying the knowledge learned to better secure environments.
Hunting gh0st rat using memory forensics
This document discusses Gh0st RAT, a remote access trojan used in targeted attacks. It provides an overview of Gh0st RAT's network communications and encryption scheme. It then describes three video demonstrations: 1) analyzing Gh0st RAT's network traffic patterns, 2) decrypting its communications, and 3) hunting Gh0st RAT using memory forensics. The document lists the author's credentials and contact information and provides references for further reading on Gh0st RAT and related malware.
The Enemy Within: Stopping Advanced Attacks Against Local Users
Advanced targeted attackers utilize compromised credentials in order to move laterally within their victims' network. These compromised credentials may consist of either domain or local credentials. Local credentials, especially those of local admins, are a lucrative target for the attackers as they are less managed (password complexity and change policy) and less monitored (no traffic and logs besides the specific computer).
In this talk, we will cover how advanced attackers are abusing local users' credentials in their attacks, including real examples as captured "in the wild". We would follow with suggested new methods and tools to detect and prevent such attacks.
Most notably, we'd expose a tool that implements a method which allows visibility to local users' activity without installing an agent on the monitored machine. The visibility is based on periodic scans of the local users' directory, the Windows Security Account Manager (SAM), using the standard SAM-Remote (SAMR) protocol, messages and APIs. Using these methods defenders gain visibility to local users' logons, group membership, password change among others. Security applications enabled by this visibility include but are not limited to, abnormal logons detection, abnormal group additions and removal detection and abnormal password changes detection.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
