Using Open Tools to Convert Threat Intelligence into Practical Defenses: Threat Hunting Summit 2016


Threat actors are not magic and there is not an unlimited, unique list of threats for every organization. Enterprises face similar threats from similar threat sources and threat actors – so why does every organization need to perform completely unique risk assessments and prioritized control decisions? This presentation will show how specific, community-driven threat models can be used to prioritize an organization’s defenses – without all the confusion. In this
presentation James Tarala will present a new, open, community-driven threat model that can be used by any industry to evaluate the risk that faces them. Then he will show how to practically
use this model to prioritize enterprise defense and map to existing compliance requirements facing organizations today. Whether you are in the Department of Defense or work for a small mom-and-pop retailer, you will be able to use this model to specifically determine a prioritized defense for your organization.

James Tarala, Principal Consultant, Enclave Security; Senior Instructor, SANS Institute

James Tarala is a principal consultant with Enclave Security and is based out of Venice, Florida. He is a regular speaker and senior instructor with the SANS Institute as well as a courseware author and editor for many SANS auditing and security courses. As a consultant, he has spent the past few years architecting large enterprise IT security and infrastructure architectures, specifically working with many Microsoft-based directory services, e-mail, terminal services, and wireless technologies. He has also spent a large amount of time consulting with organizations to assist them in their security management, operational practices, and regulatory compliance issues, and he often performs independent security audits and assists internal audit groups in developing their internal audit programs. James completed his undergraduate studies at Philadelphia Biblical University and his graduate work at the University of Maryland. He holds numerous professional certifications.

How to Use and Create Threat Intelligence in an Office 365 World - SANS CTI Summit 2019


Everyone is moving to the cloud, specifically Microsoft Cloud. Microsoft expects to have 66 percent of its Office business customers in the cloud by 2019. Doing so makes sense: it’s easier than having on-premises mail servers, it (theoretically) reduces costs, and Microsoft Office 365 has one of the best security teams in the world. However, there is a downside, which is that it’s hard to protect what you can’t see or access. As of today, it is extremely difficult (or impossible, depending on your subscription level) to apply your externally created threat intelligence into Microsoft Office 365 detections. It is even more frustrating to try and search for known indicators on a platform that is not designed to help the security community.

This talk will describe methods and release open-source code to enhance your Office 365 security by analyzing email metadata, attachments, and even full content with tools like stoQ or LaikaBOSS and by looking at how to use that information to research and create actionable threat intelligence via platforms like Splunk.

IMPORTANT (JUNE 6, 2019): The OSINT Tools by Mike Bazzel featured in this guide were taken down from his website due to increased DDoS-style attacks, as well as DMCAs and cease-and-desists from some of the tools included. Phoneinfoga will still work in this guide, but for the others, you can try using each companys individual tool instead. You can see how it used to work, however, in this video and on null-byte.com.

When running an OSINT investigation, a phone number can prove to be extremely useful in gathering information about a target. On this episode of Cyber Weapons Lab, well explore a couple tools you can use to extract information from a phone number. First, theres the command-line tool called Phoneinfoga, then theres the web app tool on the IntelTechniques website.

How to Track Airplanes and Filtered Aircraft (Jeff Bezos, Floyd Mayweather and Dan Bilzerian)


In this video I go over the basics of tracking airplanes using Open Source tools and how to view filtered aircraft. While ADS-B Exchanges flight data is temporarily down, you can still view limited traces of flights. Apologies for not getting into the LLC portion I mentioned in the beginning, I believe that deserves a video in itself.

Moving Past Just Googling It: Harvesting and Using OSINT | SANS@MIC Talk


Every single day we use search engines to look for things on the internet. Defenders research a domain or IP that contains malware. Attackers look for email addresses for an upcoming phishing campaign. DFIR people examine locations and usernames that they acquired from a subjects computer. Policy and compliance people examine the risk that employees in their organizations might bring to work. Recruiters scour the internet looking for candidates. And «normal people» shop, date, geolocate, post, tweet, and otherwise send a huge amount of data to the public internet. While search engines harvest, store, and index billions of web site data points every day, there is much they do not contain. These pieces of OSINT data can, when put in perspective and analyzed, reveal target geolocations, friends and associates, alcohol consumption, user passwords, and more. This talk will be a series of hands on, live demos where we put our OSINT skills to work in unconventional places to harvest this unindexed OSINT data. Using free web sites, built in web browser tools, and free python scripts, Micah will show attendees how to harvest data from social media applications, the «whois» system, and from breach data that will not appear in search engine results. Students will gain a better understanding of JSON, APIs, reverse whois, and how to run python tools. Come join Micah as he examines how to move beyond «Googling it» in your personal and professional lives.

Aaron Jones: Introduction to Shodan


Aaron Jones presented «Introduction To Shodan» at the Phoenix Linux Users Groups security meeting on July 19th 2018

Introduction To Shodan is designed to provide an overview of the search engine for finding devices connected to the internet. Shodan is a security researcher tool that works by scanning the entire internet, locating and parsing banners, and then returning this information to the user. Shodan is an excellent tool to familiarize yourself with if you do not have the infrastructure or tools necessary to run masscan yourself. Shodan is useful in the target selection phase of an operation.
