Bejtlich/Bianco ShmooCon DVD

Thanks to David Bianco, I received a copy of a DVD of our ShmooCon 2006 presentation, Network Security Monitoring with Sguil (.ppt). The cover is posted at left, and clicking on it will show a larger version. I am not sure if the Feds will appreciate the Che Guevara theme the next time my security clearance is reviewed. If you want to order you own copy, you can visit MediaArchives.com. As far as I know I do not get a penny from DVD sales, unless there was some hidden clause in the form Heidi Potter asked me to sign!

By the way, this blog has been on fire this month. Where are you all coming from? If you started reading this blog this month, would you mind posting a comment saying where you heard of it, and if you plan to return next month? Thank you!

When I started posting my ShmooCon coverage I went looking for others that had already posted about it. Your blog looked interesting, so I added it to my feedreader. Now if only the they had the video torrents up.

I don't remember exactly how I found your blog... maybe Googling on "Security Blog"...
I really enjoyed your posts on the Blackhat Federal :)

Read your book "The Tao of Network Security Monitoring" last year, and I've been a daily reader (although not a poster) since then. I'm in Texas (although I just moved here from Florida).

I've heard about your blog on Harlan Carvey's blog http://windowsir.blogspot.com/. It was about a year ago. From than on I started to check your blog every day. Really great work and articles Mr. Bejtlich.

BTW, I'm from Slovenia.

Richard,

I found you and your blog when searching for more details about bonding interfaces. I found an old email of yours in snort-users.

I enjoy FreeBSD and OpenBSD and work as a security person for my day job. My focus is NSM, so your blog is right up my alley.

I've been an advocate of your blog since I discovered it. I've read Tao and am reading Extrusion. I have Forensics in my "to read next". You've got a great approach to writing and I enjoy catching up on your blog.

It's great to see your write up on Mike Rash's SchmooCon presentation. I work with Mike and had to let him know you made his blog! :)

Keep up the great work and I look forward to new material that you develop.

Best of luck!

Richard,

I have read your first book and that is how I found out about your blog. I was at your presentation at RSA Conference 2006. Great presentation, by the way.

I am from Brazil and own an IT/Infosec services company.

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

  I've completed the TaoSecurity Blog book series . 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.

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