Bejtlich Teaching at USENIX LISA in December 2006

USENIX posted the training schedule for its LISA 2006 conference. I will be teaching days one and two of TCP/IP Weapons School. I will also teach Network Security Monitoring with Open Source Tools.

I am currently working with USENIX to determine if I might be able to present days 3 and 4 of TCP/IP Weapons School outside the LISA schedule on 9 and 10 December, following the end of LISA.

Days 1 and 2 cover layers 1-3 of the TCP/IP stack. Day 3 will address layer 4, and day 4 will discuss layers 5-7. These last two days will be open to the public, assuming I can secure a location for the class. It would make the most sense to have attended days 1 and 2 prior to attending days 3 and 4. If you want to start learning how to interpret network attack traffic at layer 4, you're welcome to attend.

If you are interested in attending these bonus TCP/IP Weapons School classes, please email training [at] taosecurity [dot] com. I will keep you informed as this class develops. I have not determined a cost yet. Thank you.

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...

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. In the first three volumes of the series, Mr. Bejtlich selected and republished the very best entries from 18 years of writing and over 18 million blog views, along with commentaries and additional material.  In this title, Mr. Bejtlich collects material that has not been published elsewhere, including articles that are no longer available or are stored in assorted digital or physical archives. Volume 4 offers early white papers that Mr. Bejtlich wrote as a network defender, either for technica...
