View source for Training 2015 - Tactical Exploitation and Response

=Tactical Exploitation and Response=

===Course Description===
This unique class offers a view into attacker and defender models in one single session. 
Tactical Exploitation and Response will dive into the mechanics used in real attacker scenarios. 
Students will learn how to attack systems using real world techniques vs penetration testing techniques. Using a combination of new tools and lesser-known techniques, attendees will learn how hackers compromise systems without depending on standard exploits.

After learning techniques that will be successful in attacking any target students will turn to learning unique ways to defend and detect against these attacks. This section of the course introduces a tactical approach for instrumenting, alerting, and responding for enterprises. 
Real world attacks concentrate heavily on a number of methodologies including; compromising systems without depending upon standard exploits, Personal Security Product (PSP) evasion, unique stealth approaches, persistence mechanisms, and varying degrees of collection strategies. Attendees will learn how real attackers use these strategies and how to 
detect, alert, respond, and defend against these techniques.

Topics Covered:
* Real offensive mindsets, not penetration testing mindsets
* How attacker recon isn't about processes and software
* Using Windows against itself
* Privilege Escalation without exploits
* Evasion Techniques
* Lateral movement options
* Host logging and auditing
* Leveraging active directory
* Host and network indicator extraction for enterprise results
* Proper response mechanisms and communication
* PCAP and network intelligence extraction
* Advanced host and file triage capabilities
* Host command and process monitoring across a host

= Requirements = 
Students must have:
* Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python/Perl/Ruby
* A familiarity with Windows and Linux administration
* Familiarity with the malware analysis and reverse engineering malware processes 

== Software and hardware requirements ==
Student machines must be able to run at least 2 virtual machines utilizing VMware Workstation 8.0 and above (which can be obtained through a demo license). 
To run multiple machines usually means at least 4 gigs of memory is needed. 
Student laptops must be running either OSX, Linux, or Windows and must have the ability to disable all antivirus, sniff traffic, adjust firewalls, etc. 
Students are responsible for bringing a XP or Windows 7 VMware virtual machine that can be instrumented and infected with malware.
