Public Network Security Operations Class

I am happy to announce the first public Network Security Operations class is tentatively scheduled for the last week in September, starting Tuesday 27 September and ending Friday 30 September. The class is tentatively scheduled to be held at Nortel PEC in Fairfax, VA. I plan to offer 13 seats to the public, at a cost of $2995 per seat.

The course offers four sections, one per day:

  1. Network Security Monitoring: theory, tools, and techniques to detect sophisticated intruders

  2. Network Incident Response: network-centric means to contain and remediate intrusions

  3. Network Forensics: collect, protect, analyze, and present network-based evidence to prosecute or repel intruders

  4. Live Fire Exercises: apply the preceding three days of skills in an all-day, all-lab environment


More information is contained in either the color .pdf or the grayscale .pdf flyers.

Once I have confirmed the location and time, I will post those details at the TaoSecurity training page.

Interested parties should email me: richard at taosecurity dot com. Once I have set up payment processing, those who pay first will receive seats first. Those who only email their intent to attend the class will be contacted as alternates if paying students fail to follow through for some reason. Therefore, it is worthwhile to signal your intention to attend the class, if you are so interested.

I look forward to seeing you in Fairfax in September!

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.

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
