TaoSecurity Blog Under Construction

I'm experimenting with adding a comments feature to the blog. The easiest way to do that was to use a new template. You may see additional changes. Also, links which were previously in this format

http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_taosecurity_archive.html#110129970708337670

now take this format

http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2004/11/using-portsnap-to-update-freebsd-ports.html

The old format appears to still work, however.

A little bit on Linux would also help. FreeBSD rocks!

Thanks for the comments. I am not happy that only Blogger users can identify themselves when posting, but this is better than nothing.

About Linux -- I am not a daily Linux user, although I administer several systems running Linux. I do not believe I could contribute much of anything to the body of Linux knowledge.

I write about FreeBSD because it is my primary OS (on my laptops, desktops, and servers). I try to document what I do for future reference and in the hopes it also helps Blog readers.

Gregg -- Yes, I can see old comments. I currently have all comments being copied to my Gmail account. The email includes a link to the story from which the comment was posted, so I can reply there too.

I just posted a test message to the earliest old story (Monday, May 10, 2004) and it is now available online.

Zeek in Action Videos

Image
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.

MITRE ATT&CK Tactics Are Not Tactics

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

The new book is  The Best of TaoSecurity Blog, Volume 4: Beyond the Blog with Articles, Testimony, and Scholarship .  It's available now for Kindle , and I'm working on the print edition.  I'm running a 50% off promo on Volumes 1-3 on Kindle through midnight 20 April. Take advantage before the prices go back up. I described the new title thus: Go beyond TaoSecurity Blog with this new volume from author Richard Bejtlich.

Volume 4 offers early white papers that Mr. Bejtlich wrote as a network defender, either for technical or pol
