If you are looking for very skillful, knowledgeable, and great human beings for your Red Team, please consider @Salbei_ and @Micheal_merrill I worked with them for many years and with confidence can say that your team will greatly improve with them!
Replying to @_MG_

Last year we used JuiceShop with a twist during our CTF. If you want to learn more about bug bounty and app security Juice Shop is a fun way to get started!

This, get familiar with your logs and how they can help you find this much more practical and likely scenario. Then, have a documented plan on how to respond and mitigate!
For anyone worrying about this, I’d like to hear how you were already handling a near identical attack that didn’t require this vuln: - steal Yubikey - login - returns key WITHOUT cloning it, because 1 session is enough for most objectives Same attack flow. If that wasn’t already part of your threat model, why is this? If it was part of your threat model, how do your existing defenses not already handle the vuln? (I can think of a few, but none that apply to most of the people who are concerned) This should change very little for most people.

Great use of the word likely in context of an investigation for which data may not be conclusive. When not fully sure, likely is a good word to choose. Their 2nd tweet tells the story, it was 2FA, the lack of it, plus “likely” an easy to guess password… Kudos for the report!
We have finished our investigation into last week's Mandiant X account takeover and determined it was likely a brute force password attack, limited to this single account.

Just in case, not bashing on them. Things happen and we all learn from them. But it was a good opportunity to highlight the choice of words on the tweet. The report released lacks the details many us were probably expecting, but is short and on point for what it is.

If anyone is looking for an internship for next summer our security engineering team (Paranoids Engineering) has a spot open. Ideal candidate has software engineering experience, interest in security, experience with Go and/or Rust. Please DM for info and share

What makes our CTF different? You play the role of an IR consultant responding to a breach. You get access to host telemetry via a SIEM of your choice (graylog, elastic or splunk) Net telemetry via Arkime or pcaps Security Onion provides an easier path 4 the less experienced

Just as IRL, tools are not always working, the indexed telemetry wasn’t always properly ingested. You will have access to velociraptor data, some of which was collected incorrectly… You need to leverage your IR skills & find ways to overcome these & other obstacles to win!

We designed the CTF for you to choose your own adventure! Ultimately you are in charge of the path you want to pursue, but keep in mind, some paths may have some unwanted penalties, or immediate benefits! See you @defcon 32!

Back in 2021 @coolestcatiknow @1njection @CptOfEvilMinion @TilottamaSanyal and I, presented a 2 day MacOS workshop @defcon @BlueTeamVillage on Emulating & Threat Hunting APT 32: OceanLotus. The workshop was kept private until today. You can play along: huntapples.com

To my knowledge this was the first MacOS Threat Hunting workshop that attempted to show how to properly EMULATE an adversary. Next week datasets will be uploaded for you to load into the SIEM of your choose + pcaps Would you like to see a similar workshop? If so, for what APT?

@MITREengenuity evaluation results are valuable, & while it is true many vendors scored a 100% detection rate, let's keep in mind that the tests performed are emulating a particular actor, primarily on Windows, on specific OS versions… 1/x

…In this regard, Mitre is taking the time to EMULATE an actor. The attention to detail required is available to you on their results and documentation. This information is a must for folks conducting threat hunting, detection engineering, or purple teaming. 7/x

…Use the information to learn how to EMULATE an actor and leverage the data to improve your cyber defense program. Use the information to challenge your vendors' marketing nonsense! <end>
