Specter Bash 2025

Adversary Tactics: Detection builds on standard network defense and incident response (which often focuses on alerting for known malware signatures) by focusing on abnormal behaviors and the use of adversary Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs). We will teach you how to engineer detections based on attacker TTPs to perform threat hunting operations and detect attacker activity. In addition, you will learn use utilize free and/or open source data collection and analysis tools (such as Sysmon, Windows Event Logs, and ELK) to analyze large amounts of host information and build detections for malicious activity. You will use the techniques and toolsets you learn to create threat hunting hypotheses and build robust detections in a simulated enterprise network undergoing active compromise from various types of threat actors.
