Incident responders are continually faced with the challenge of collecting and analyzing relevant event data—network communications is no exception. This course uses an assortment of network data acquisition tools and techniques with a focus on open-source, vendor-neutral solutions. Students who take this course will learn how to perform network traffic and protocol analysis that ultimately supports cybersecurity incident response efforts. From reconnaissance to data exfiltration, network traffic scales to provide a bird’s-eye view of attacker activity. Leveraging the vantage point of key network traffic chokepoints, this course explores nearly every phase of an attacker’s methodology. Students will learn network traffic analysis concepts and work through hands-on lab exercises that reinforce the course material using real-world attack scenarios.

Getting a foothold is the first step in a successful breach—be it in the form of user credentials, email access, or code execution on a target system. This course will provide students with the fundamental skills and know-how to perform the most common attacks used to get an initial foothold during a red team exercise. Since Microsoft products and services are the most widespread platform in use by organizations, Office 365 and Microsoft Windows will be the primary targets of student exercises. Core concepts will also be discussed so that students can apply the lessons learned to other platforms in the future.

Regular expressions are universally embedded in the world of information technology. They are a part of many programming languages, databases, search engines, and command-line tools. As an information security professional, you are continuously analyzing textual data for indicators of compromise, juicy data morsels to exfiltrate, forensic artifacts, supporting evidence in threat hunting, and so much more. Familiarity with regular expressions is a skill, a very life-enhancing essence if you like, to take your information security analysis capabilities from “just ok” to “wizard level.” They are applicable in so many places that you really cannot afford to not have this knowledge.Join me for a four-hour session that takes you on a journey through regular expression POSIX, BRE, ERE, and PCRE syntax and explores various tools that you probably use daily through the lens of regular expressions. Your life will be forever changed when you can apply the power of regular expressions to your professional duties.

MITRE ATT&CK® is a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. The ATT&CK knowledge base is used as a foundation for the development of specific threat models and methodologies in the private sector, in government, and in the cybersecurity product and service community. With the addition of MITRE Shield, you now have a 360 degree view of attack scenarios and the data and capabilities needed to stop them.

This intense course covers the skills required to conduct a simulation of a sophisticated adversary, including the latest tradecraft and offensive tactics. During the training you will gain insight in to planning and conducting a red team operation including all the steps required to perform efficient opensource intelligence, design and automate the deployment of operational infrastructure, gain initial access and perform post-exploitation and lateral movement. You will learn how to bypass defensive controls including anti-virus, EDR, AMSI and application whitelisting that will leave you equipped to target even the most mature environments.

The cyber security industry has grown considerably in recent years, with more sophisticated attacks and consequently more defenders. To have a fighting chance against these kinds of attacks, kernel mode drivers must be employed, where nothing (at least nothing from user mode) can escape their eyes. The course provides the foundations for the most common software device drivers that are useful not just in cyber security, but also other scenarios, where monitoring and sometimes prevention of operations is required. Participants will write real device drivers with useful features that can then be modified and adapted to their particular needs.The course includes tips and techniques employed by the instructor in their own projects, based on years of experience.
