Mandiant red teams have conducted hundreds of covert red team operations. This course draws on that knowledge to help learners improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to threats in an enterprise network.

Learners will better understand advanced threat actor behavior that Mandiant experts have observed through incident response investigations. Learners will also see how Mandiant red teams refine advanced attacker tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) for use by red teams in their attempts to emulate advanced threat actors. Learners will develop the ability to think like an attacker and creatively use these TTPs to accomplish response goals while avoiding detection.

Mandiant red team leads conduct this fast-paced technical course with presentations and scenario-based labs based on frontline expertise and intelligence-based security research. Learners receive hands-on experience conducting covert cyber attack simulations that mimic real-world threat actors. They will learn how to bypass advanced network segmentation, multi-factor authentication and application whitelisting, abuse web applications, escalate privileges and steal data while circumventing detection methods.

The Corelan “BOOTCAMP” is a truly unique opportunity to learn both basic & advanced techniques from an experienced exploit developer, at a conference. During this (typically 3 ‘long’ day) course, students will be able to learn all ins and outs about writing reliable exploits for the Windows platform.  The trainer will share his “notes from the field” and various tips & tricks to become more effective at writing exploits.

We believe it is important to start the course by explaining the basics of stack buffer overflows and exploit writing, but this is most certainly not “your average” entry level course. In fact, this is a true bootcamp and one of the finest and most advanced courses you will find on Win32 stack based exploit development.

This hardcore hands-on course will provide students with solid understanding of current x86 (stack based) exploitation techniques and memory protection bypass techniques.  We make sure the course material is kept updated with current techniques, includes previously undocumented tricks and techniques, and details about research we performed ourselves.  Combined with the way the course is built up, this will turn this class into a truly unique experience.

Corelan Win32 Exploit Development Bootcamp

The Advanced Software Exploitation (ASE) course offers security professionals an opportunity to test and develop their skills like never before. During this course, students will learn to identify common vulnerabilities and then use them to develop exploits for a wide range of software applications, including popular Windows applications, interpreted languages, and Web browsers.

In the first half of the course, attendees will use fuzzing, reverse engineering, and source code auditing, to attack a wide variety of applications (e.g. iTunes, Firefox, Vulnserver, etc.) and then use proven exploitation techniques to develop an exploit for one of the VMs (Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10).

Then, in the second half of the course, the focus will shift from classic vulnerabilities to more advanced ones. In this section, students will learn how to escape Java sandbox using a type confusion vulnerability, how to circumvent the ASLR without pointer leaks, and how to use precise heap spraying, just to name a few.

By the end of this course, students will know how to find software vulnerabilities using fuzzing, reverse engineering, and source code auditing, and then how to write their own exploits in Python, JavaScript, or Java.

Conclusion

Ptrace Security – Advanced Software Exploitation

This intensive three-day course is designed to teach the fundamental investigative techniques needed to respond to today’s cyber threats. The fast-paced course is built upon a series of hands-on labs that highlight the phases of a targeted attack, sources of evidence and principles of analysis. Examples of skills taught include how to conduct rapid triage on a system to determine whether it is compromised, uncover evidence of initial attack vectors, recognize persistence mechanisms and investigate an incident throughout an enterprise. Although the course is focused on analyzing Windows-based systems and servers, the techniques and investigative processes are applicable to all systems and applications. The course includes detailed discussions of common forms of endpoint, network and file-based forensic evidence collection and their limitations as well as how attackers move around in a compromised Windows environment. The course also explores information management that enriches the investigative process and bolsters an enterprise security program. Discussion topics include the containment and remediation of a security incident, and the connection of short-term actions to longer-term strategies that improve organizational resiliency.

Syllabus

• Describe the incident response process, including the threat landscape, targeted attack life cycle, initial attack vectors used by different threat actors, and phases of an effective incident response process
• Conduct system triage to answer key questions about what transpired across the enterprise during an incident
• Apply lessons learned to proactively investigate an entire environment (including metadata, registry, event logs, services, persistence mechanisms and artifacts of execution) at scale for signs of compromise
• Manage and effectively record information related to ongoing investigations and incidents
• Understand the role of the remediation phase in an enterprise investigation
• Understand how to hunt for threats using threat intelligence, anomaly detection and known threat actor techniques, tactics and procedures (TTPs)

Mandiant Academy – Windows Enterprise Incident Response

Sophisticated attackers frequently go undetected in a victim’s network for an extended period. Attackers can blend their traffic with legitimate traffic that only skilled network analysts know how to detect. This course shows learners how to identify malicious network activity. The course provides an overview of network protocols, network architecture, intrusion detection systems, network traffic capture and traffic analysis. Learners review the types of network monitoring and the tools commonly used to analyze captured network traffic. The course also explores the best techniques for investigating botnets and how to use honeypots in network monitoring. The course includes lectures and hands-on lab sessions to reinforce technical concepts.

Syllabus

• Understand the network monitoring and incident response processes
• Discuss the pros and cons of statistical, connection, full content and event monitoring and tools
• Perform event-based monitoring using Snort
• Minimize network traffic with the Snort rule structure and custom rule creation
• Review Snort alerts using the Sguil front end
