As penetration testers, we all have a need to establish command and control channels in our customer environments. This can be done under the guise of an “assumed compromise” context or in a more adversarial Red Team context. The age of endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions and application whitelisting has created significant barriers to commodity/well known malware deployment for adversarial exercises. This class focuses on the demonstration of an Open Command Channel framework called “OpenC2RAT”, and then developing, enhancing, and deploying the “OpenC2RAT” command channel software into a target environment. Students will learn about the internal details of a command channel architecture and methods to deploy in an application-whitelisted context. The class will introduce students to blocks of code written in C#, GoLang, and Python to achieve these goals. In addition, the class will introduce some ideas to deploy existing shellcode such as Cobalt Strike Beacon or Meterpreter within a programmed wrapper to enhance success in the age of modern endpoint defense. Many of the techniques introduced in this class can be used to evade modern defensive technologies.

For the luckiest of enterprises, the awareness of an insecure environment is proven not in public discord after a breach but instead by effective security penetration tests. Time and time again Jordan and Kent have witnessed organizations struggle with network management, Active Directory, organizational change, and an increasingly experienced adversary. For new and legacy enterprises alike, Defending the Enterprise explores the configuration practices and opportunities that secure networks, Windows, and Active Directory from the most common and effective adversarial techniques. Have the confidence that your organization is prepared for tomorrow’s security threats by learning how to defend against network poisoning, credential abuse, exploitable vulnerabilities, lateral movement, and privilege escalation. Learn cost-effective mitigations to contemporary adversarial attacks. The best defended networks are those which have matured from countless penetration tests and security incidents. Learn from Kent and Jordan, two seasoned offensive and defensive security experts, to shortcut your organization’s security posture into a well-fortified fortress.

Attack Emulation tools help you measure, monitor, and improve your security controls by executing scripted attacks. Atomic Red Team is a community developed open-source library of these scripted attacks that are mapped directly to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework. There are several frameworks available for executing these scripted attacks including MITRE CALDERA and VECTR.

This class will provide an overview of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and give you in-depth, hands-on knowledge of how to execute scripted attacks that exercise many of the techniques defined in MITRE ATT&CK. You will be provided with hands-on lab instructions for emulating a variety of attacks and creating visualizations using the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator. At the end of this class, you will have the knowledge and tools to begin executing simulated attacks within your own test environment, allowing you to create and validate detections in a script-able and consistent way.

This is an advanced course that focuses on setting up secure and resilient C2 infrastructure using Azure/AWS, creating custom Cobalt Strike profiles, hunting for Active Directory Certificate Services misconfigurations in mature enterprise environments. Learn current post-exploitation techniques that White Knight Labs (WKL) has used during real-life engagements to dump credentials, move laterally, escalate to Domain Admin, and capture the client’s crown jewels. We will cover EDR bypass briefly, but AV/EDR bypass will be assumed knowledge for this course. Although this course is designed to be a deep dive into hunting for ADCS misconfigurations and setting up C2 infrastructure, an apex attacker must also know their own indicators of compromise (IOCs) they’re creating and the artifacts they’re leaving behind. On the second day, students will be led through a real-life red team operation.

SEC201 provides students that have no or minimal prior knowledge, or those in need of a refresher, with an understanding of the architecture of modern computers and topics spanning how a CPU works, the addressing of memory and the hardware relationship with operating systems. SEC201 includes an introduction to both Windows and Linux, providing students with plenty of hands-on exercises to build their familiarity with the command line and move their knowledge beyond being a power user to actually understanding the underlying facets of a modern OS. SEC201 teaches logic, programming and scripting and introduces how each of these can lead to errors that allow security experts or cyber criminals to find faults and exploit them. SEC201 provides the perfect balance of hands-on labs and theory in order to ensure that students can study security effectively and put their hands on the keyboard, rather than just understanding theory.

Syllabus

Many publications exist documenting ways to attack Wi-Fi networks. Still, the gap between old methods that have become obsolete and the current state and outdated tools can be frustrating for someone who wants to learn or even update his knowledge in this field. This course aims to learn the modern ways of assessing the security of Wi-Fi networks and how to apply these attacks against organizations during a Red Team engagement. Indeed, during this course, we will be able to start from the very beginning by talking about old, current, and new attacks and opportunities to allow attendees to fulfill their pentest or Red Team engagements in the future based on our recent experiences.
