SANS Forensics and Incident Response 2009

The agenda for the second SANS WhatWorks Summit in Forensics and Incident Response has been posted. I am really happy to see I am speaking on Tuesday, because I will not be available Wednesday. Day 1 appears mainly technical, and day 2 is mainly legal. Please consider registering for the two-day conference. It's the best incident response event in the US this year!

Richard Bejtlich is teaching new classes in Las Vegas in 2009. Regular Las Vegas registration ends 1 July.

Hi Richard,

I'm a wide angle security expert from National PCs. Some of my research on Shawn Carpenter has lead me to your Blog. Were located in N. Carolina and San Jose. I've got a few questions for you and Shawn if he is there.
1. Are you aware that Silicon Valley had two fiber optic cables cut on the day that the bbc announced the discovery of Russian and Chinese Cyber Spys Trojan Horse software in the US Power Grid?
2. Have you read the Cookos Egg about early cyber crime and Nukular Facilities?
3. Are you aware that the PLA is hiring "honkers" each year to test Bill Gates' software. That the winners of last years contest hacked the Pentagon and Home Land Security.
4. Do you know what Sun Tzu recommended to China's army regarding spys vs standing armies.

Let me know what you've got- security@northcarolinapcs.com

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
