🧵1/2 Defenders, looking to spot or simulate adversaries scanning your network shares? Building on the excellent work of @TheDFIRReport, we are releasing our latest blog, "Sharing is Not Caring: Hunting for Network Share Discovery" Blog: splunk.com/en_us/blog/sec… #threathunting
The #WindowsForensicAnalysis poster has been revised to support modern Windows investigations! Use it as a cheat sheet of WinXP - Windows 11 operating system artifacts & a means to discover important artifacts. Download now! 👉sans.org/u/1nNm @chadtilbury @4enzikat0r
Real talk: Running SOC at scale - super fucking hard. I can't do it. I've watched people labor for it. In all noise, antivirus alerts are the most important signal you'll ever get. Even if it's mostly adware. That AV cleaned something means an attacker with shell will try again.
Reverse Engineering a #CobaltStrike #malware sample and extracting C2's using three different methods. We'll touch on #cyberchef, #x64dbg and Speakeasy from fireeye to perform manual analysis and emulation of #shellcode. A (big) thread ⬇️⬇️ [1/23]
Wow, I was not aware of this. Sharing since I’d believe this can be useful.
This time our fictional company CyberCorp decided to deploy #EDR solution. As a member of threat hunting team you'll have to investigate the breach using telemetry, collected to #threathunting platform. JSON dataset is also available😉 Happy Hunting!🎯 cyberdefenders.org/labs/75
We are pleased to announce the release of the 1st #BlueTeam challenge from @malware_traffic great collection. We'll continue to add more in the upcoming days. Give it a try @ cyberdefenders.org/labs/17 & validate your #PCAP analysis skills. #DFIR #InfoSec #CyberSecurity #Malware
A few years dated, but I know how you all love lists so here's 411 Windows Security Event IDs complete with their summary and security messages, direct from Microsoft. microsoft.com/en-us/download…
Today, @Haus3c released a new post called, "Kerberosity Killed the Domain: An Offensive Kerberos Overview" Ryan consolidates many core concepts of modern Kerberos attacks into a concise reference post. Link: posts.specterops.io/kerberosity-ki…
Today I'm releasing an updated version of Sysmon-Config which adds DNS logging with extensively researched and tested exclusions that massively reduce the event load generated. There's nothing else like this on the market. github.com/SwiftOnSecurit…
Alert fatigue is often a matter of artificially limited problem space. Analysts aren't allowed or empowered to solve problems closer to where they occur by tuning detection. Instead, they are relegated to dealing with the output. They're treating symptoms and not afflictions.
and here we go for another #threathunting mm for getting ppl familiar with some of the most common ports,process combinations in Windows that can be used for hunting or analysis of specific events. bit.ly/2QwHGAj (to interact with mm in webview)
Great end to a great week with @SANSEMEA and @j3ssgarcia on the SANS610 Reverse Engineering Malware course. 6th in today's challenge, one off a coin but very happy with the result all the same. Can't wait to get back and start putting it all into practice! #DFIR
Hunting for suspicious 4625/4624 is not an easy task (requires several layers of baselining), as promised here is a starting point summarized in one mindmap #threathunting #dfir
Tesco's 2020 cyber-security graduate scene is open. Excellent opportunity to get a foot on the #cybersecurity career ladder and be involved in technology at a truly epic scale #dfir #tescotechnology lnkd.in/d5hybS5
Whilst not exhaustive (and neither does it claim to be) this cheat sheet is a fantastic resource for forensic artifacts, analysis techniques, live commands, tools and potential detections for both people new to the field of #DFIR and those already well en…lnkd.in/dnGnuTS
