Active Defenses have been capturing a large amount of attention in the media lately. There are those who thirst for vengeance and want to directly attack the attackers. There are those who believe that any sort of active response directed at an attacker is wrong. We believe the answer is somewhere in between. In this class, you will learn how to force an attacker to take more moves to attack your network. These moves may increase your ability to detect them. You will learn how to gain better attribution as to who is attacking you and why. You will also find out how to get access to a bad guy’s system. And most importantly, you will find out how to do the above legally.

Enterprises have been working tirelessly to improve their security postures through defense-in-depth approaches. Offensive teams have also been putting in long hours of research into bypassing the latest EDR’s and defensive products that keep them on their toes. Long gone “hopefully” are the days of hurdling an HTA file laced with a download cradle at a mature organization with a “Free iPad” ruse and watching your screen fill with incoming agents. An offense-in-depth approach may be applied to offensive practitioner’s looking for success against organizations well-versed in defending a large enterprise. Today’s organizations have assets in multiple geo regions, networks, cloud services, border hosts, and many of them are tied to the internal network in some way. This course aims to help offensive practitioners successfully exercise their client environments from a multi-faceted approach using the latest TTPs blended with esoteric practices to gain the upper hand on your assessments.

“Security” is arguably one of the most challenging disciplines to move from being an individual contributor (IC) to being a manager. While security ICs can perform most tasks in isolation, a manager needs to regularly interact with people both inside and outside of the team. Further, “security” has its own language which can be completely foreign to people outside of the discipline. How do you take security concerns and convert them into a language that senior leaders and “C” levels can understand? Honing these skills will be the primary objective of this course. In this course, we will cover all of the steps needed to stand up and lead a security team within an organization. We start with a clean slate so that every aspect gets covered. If you are in an environment that already has a security team, this can help fill in the gaps. This course will have a heavy focus on how to integrate the security team with the rest of the business units. We’ll look at strategies for increasing funding, as well as converting “security risks” into “business risks” so they are better understood by the organization’s leadership. The course includes a lot of collateral like a full set of pre-written security policies. The goal is to help you build an effective security team in as little time as possible.

Security Defense and Detection TTX is a comprehensive four-day tabletop exercise that involves the introduction to completion of security TTXs (tabletop exercises), IR playbooks, and after-action reports. The exercises are paired with video and lab demonstrations that reinforce their purpose. The training as a whole is compatible with the world’s most popular RPG rules.

The preparation phase will walk students through the creation of specific IR playbooks that can be utilized in any environment as well as during later parts of the class. The next phase introduces the gamification of the TTXs. The students split up into separate “corporations” with assigned verticals, hit points, armor class, budgets, strengths, and weaknesses. Selection of departments and skills allow the players to further their modifiers. Throughout the exercise, each company will take turns rolling their way through decisions such as large purchases, attack severity, defense capability, and incident response decisions.

This will be a high level exploration of the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. Students will receive a strong understanding of the organization’s history, structure, the standards they maintain, qualified professional certifications, and the lists of validated solutions. This course is a great starting off point for IT or security professionals who reference “PCI” but don’t fully understand everything that entails.

In the Intro to Offensive Tooling class, you will learn about many of the tools used by attackers to identify vulnerabilities and exploit them. This hands-on course covers a variety of offensive tools, such as Nmap, Recon-ng, Metasploit, Proxychains, Responder, and many more. Through a series of practical labs, you will gain experience in using these tools to assess the security of systems and networks. In addition to learning how to use these tools effectively, you will also explore the ethical considerations surrounding offensive tooling, how to responsibly use these tools to protect sensitive information, and prevent cyber attacks. By the end of this course, you will have a strong foundation in offensive tooling and be well-equipped to apply your knowledge to a wide range of security challenges.
