2018-025-BsidesSPFD, threathunting, assessing risk
Sorry, this week's show took an odd turn, and we don't have much in the way of show notes... Ms. Berlin is recovering from knee surgery, and we wish her a speedy recovery. Bryan B. got back from BsidesSPFD, MO this week, after what was a well-received talk on building community. Lots of other excellent talks from speakers like Ms. Sunny Wear , and impromptu panel with Ben Miller and a whole host of others, including: @icssec @bethayoung @ViciousData @killianditch @fang0654 @SunnyWear @awsmhacks @sysopfb @killamjr We started talking about malware, and we ended up discussing a new channel in the BrakeSec Slack on #threatHunting. Appears there's a lot of information out there on the topic, so much so, that SANS is having a whole conference around it. https://www.sans.org/event/threat-hunting-and-incident-response-summit-2018 @icssec @bethayoung @bryanbrake @ViciousData @killianditch @fang0654 @SunnyWear @awsmhacks @sysopfb @killamjr

Beginners & CTFs Types tips/tricks Biggest downfalls of CTF development https://www.heroku.com/ www.exploit-db.com BrakeSec DerbyCon @dragosinc dragos.com DNS Enumeration: https://github.com/nixawk/pentest-wiki/blob/master/1.Information-Gathering/How-to-gather-dns-information.md DNS Tools: https://dnsdumpster.com/ https://tools.kali.org/information-gathering/theharvester DNS Tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZtFk2dtqv0 (A cat explains DNS) https://pentestlab.blog/tag/dns-enumeration/ DNS Logging detailed DNS queries and responses can be beneficial for many reasons. For the first and most obvious reason is to aid in incident response. DNS logs can be largely helpful for tracking down malicious behavior, especially on endpoints in a DHCP pool. If an alert is received with a specific IP address, that IP address may not be on the same endpoint by the time someone ends up investigating. Not only does that waste time, it also gives the malicious program or attacker more time to hide themselves or spread to other machines. DNS is also useful for tracking down other compromised hosts, downloads from malicious websites, and if malware is using Domain Generating Algorithms (DGAs) to mask malicious behavior and evade detection. NOTE: However if a Microsoft DNS solution (prior to server 2012) is in use, according to Microsoft, “Debug logging can be resource intensive, affecting overall server performance and consuming disk space. Therefore, it should only be used temporarily when more detailed information about server performance is needed.” From Server 2012 forward DNS analytic logging is much less resource intensive. If the organization is using BIND or some DNS appliance, it should have the capability to log all information about DNS requests and replies. How difficult has that become with the advent of GDPR and whois record anonymization? Join our #Slack Channel!
