Recently I researched activity from some DPRK baddies called Andariel. The investigation involved 2 set of attacks, a staging server, some new RATs, and tools/TTPs - all attributable to Andariel. The report is now live: labs.withsecure.com/publicat… #malware #andariel #dprk

Are language model "hallucinations" always useless? Might they be used to generate new research ideas? After all, some of the most interesting developments in machine learning have happened by chance. In this short thread, I'll present some findings on this topic. 1/10

Let's continue our ATT&CK misunderstandings series & discuss procedures. People sometimes assume ATT&CK is trying to cover every possible way a (sub-)technique can be done, but our procedures only cover what we've seen in public reporting tied to Groups, Software, or Campaigns.

SOC analysts and detection engineers who like to publicly write/talk about detection content should put out more about the false positives they usually have to deal with. I feel that false positives often suffer from what academics call the "Publication bias"

I love @MITREattack - but the ways some vendors operationalize it is misleading and often useless. 🧵
