The DNS BunchA closer look to the techniques used by the threat actors that use DNS Attacks. Reviewing overlaps among them and the different techniques used by state sponsored threat actors vs criminal threat actors.

Once Upon a Time in the West - A Story on DNS AttacksJust like in movies about the Old West, we are going through a land riddled with well-known gunmen –OceanLotus, DNSpionage, and OilRig, among others – who roam at ease while the security cowboys sleep. This presentation will uncover the toolset and techniques used by these gunmen, taking a closer look at their big guns and behavioral patterns. We will explore the attacks involving DNS that took place during the last decade to examine the latest techniques discovered to improve detection and dodge the bullets the bad guys are firing in our direction.Ruth Esmeralda Barbacil, Cyber Intelligence Analyst, DeloitteValentina Palacin, Cyber Intelligence Analyst, Deloitte

Raiders of the Mitre Framework: How to Build Your Own Threat LibraryIt's the year 2019 and the internet has been around long enough to be filled with what seems to be "ancient" data. Digging through, classifying and analyzing everything sometimes makes you feel a lot like Indiana Jones searching for the right clues in a moving puzzle. But how could you move through the caves without getting buried under piles of data rubble? How might anyone revisit and study the data from the past to transform it into actionable information for the present? In this talk we are going to show you how a threat intel Indiana Jones analyst should tackle these issues in order to find the treasure of the Threat Library. We will show you how we used the MITRE ATT&CK Framework as our book of secrets for turning dusty old Internet artifacts into a library of actionable Threat Intelligence.Ruth Esmeralda Barbacil, Cyber Intelligence Analyst, DeloitteValentina Palacin, Cyber Intelligence Analyst, Deloitte

Cyber Kung Fu – Una mirada a la ciberseguridad como método de defensa personal“No vuelvas tarde”, “No andes sola por ahí de noche”, “Tené cuidado, pedí que alguien te acompañe”. Son todas las cosas que me decía-y todavía me dice-mi mamá y que sigo escuchando en mi cabeza cada vez que salgo. Desde chiquitas nos inculcan a tomar precauciones, a cuidarnos. Pero nadie nos dijo nunca “Usa una buena contraseña” o “No abras cualquier link” y sin embargo, casi todos tenemos un smartphone.La brecha entre la seguridad digital y la física parece enorme, las consecuencias lo parecen también. Sin embargo, la vida en la era digital no está exenta de peligros.Con esta charla queremos mostrar la importancia de conocer las repercusiones de nuestra huella digital y qué es lo que podemos hacer para protegernos con el objetivo último de demostrar que no es necesario convertirse en un experto en ciberseguridad para aprender defenderse.

Alice in Malwareland: Falling into the Threat Intelligence Rabbit Hole It all started when Alice, a cybersecurity analyst, was sitting in her office reading a boring manual about the ISO 27001. Suddenly, Bad Rabbit appears in her monitoring system, dressed in like a ransomware and running for self-distribution through the company’s internal network watching its crypto wallet grow. Alice immediately had a keen interest in him and followed him to his burrow.The burrow turned out to be a deeper tunnel than what she thought filled with seemingly meaningless logs, through which Alice fell while trying to remember the intelligence cycle and the analysis techniques she learned along the way, not knowing if one day she will reach the bottom. Finally, Alice arrives in an environment full of false tracks. The rabbit does is nowhere to be found and she only sees a file that says "ENABLE MACROS". Without thinking twice, she agrees to activate its execution and, in front of her eyes, the files get encrypted at full speed. Alice will have to perform an analysis of the access door that Bad Rabbit used in order to reach him, discover his motivations and have him bring her before the kings of the deck to recover her files.Like the Alice in our history, in this course we will immerse ourselves in the day-to-day life of an intelligence analyst, analyzing examples of real attacks with the help of the recognized MITRE ATT&CK framework and other open source tools that you can use to conduct your own analysis. Once the training is finished, the participants will have learned to differentiate different types of threats, the different phases of an attack in a targeted campaign, how to collect indicators of compromise, and how to carry out an analysis of the information collected. All these tools will provide them with the necessary bases to implement defense strategies based on the previous analysis of the threats that organizations face.Ruth Esmeralda Barbacil and Valentina Palacin
