Evening Social Events

This intense course immerses students in a single simulated enterprise environment, with multiple networks, hardened endpoints, modern defenses, and active network defenders responding to red team activities. We will focus on in-depth attacker tradecraft post-initial access; braking out of the beachhead, establishing resilient command and control (C2) infrastructure, gain situational awareness through opsec aware host and network enumerations, perform advanced lateral movement and sophisticated Active Directory escalation, gain persistence (userland, elevated, and domain flavors), and perform advanced Kerberos attacks, data mining, and exfiltration.

Identity-driven Offensive Tradecraft offers an in-depth look at identity-driven attacks, targeting both on-premises and hybrid identities. Participants will learn how to abuse the intricacies of different authentication and authorization mechanisms to traverse on-premises and cloud environments, gain access to integrated systems, and even cross tenants. Participants will also be equipped with a practical approach to identifying known attack paths and forging new ones within complex operational environments and across people, processes, and technology.

Get Your Head in the Clouds! Through hands-on labs, this course teaches participants how to identify misconfigurations in Azure that are commonly leveraged by attackers. Participants should expect to walk away from Adversary Perspectives: Azure with a strong foundation of Azure security knowledge and first step on their journey of attacking or defending corporate Azure and Entra (Azure AD) environments.

In Adversary Tactics: Tradecraft Analysis, we will present and apply a general tradecraft analysis methodology for offensive TTPs, focused on Windows components. We will discuss Windows attack techniques and learn to deconstruct how they work underneath the hood. For various techniques, we will identify the layers of telemetry sources and learn to understand potential detection choke points. Finally, the course will culminate with students creating their own technique evasion and detection strategy. You will be able to use the knowledge gained to both use your telemetry to create robust detection coverage across your organization, and truly assess the efficacy of that coverage.
