Bejtlich Keynote at SANS Forensics Summit

Rob Lee was kind enough to ask me to deliver the keynote on the second day of the SANS WhatWorks in Incident Response and Forensic Solutions Summit. The two-day event takes place 13-14 October 2008 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, NV. The conference agenda looks great, with training classes available before and after the summit. The tuition fee is $1,595 if paid by 10 Sep or $1,845 thereafter. I am very much looking forward to attending this event.

Rob also pointed out the new SANS Computer Forensics and E-discovery Community and SANS Forensics Blog.

Zeek in Action Videos

This is a quick note to point blog readers to my Zeek in Action YouTube video series for the Zeek network security monitoring project .  Each video addresses a topic that I think might be of interest to people trying to understand their network using Zeek and adjacent tools and approaches, like Suricata, Wireshark, and so on.  I am especially pleased with Video 6 on monitoring wireless networks . It took me several weeks to research material for this video. I had to buy new hardware and experiment with a Linux distro that I had not used before -- Parrot .  Please like and subscribe, and let me know if there is a topic you think might make a good video.

Just what are "tactics"? Introduction MITRE ATT&CK  is a great resource, but something about it has bothered me since I first heard about it several years ago. It's a minor point, but I wanted to document it in case it confuses anyone else. The MITRE ATT&CK Design and Philosophy document from March 2020 says the following: At a high-level, ATT&CK is a behavioral model that consists of the following core components: • Tactics, denoting short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack; • Techniques, describing the means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals; • Sub-techniques, describing more specific means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals at a lower level than techniques; and • Documented adversary usage of techniques, their procedures, and other metadata. My concern is with MITRE's definition of "tactics" as "short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack," which is oddly recursive. The key word in the tacti...
