MOMBY is on deck

So I'm still undecided on whether or not Mondo Armando and Müstaschio are for real. All the news reporters seem to think so, but I think it could also be just another April fools joke. Either way, if they actually produce some Myspace exploits, that would be awesome. Myspace has such a history of slow response to security issues, that I'm not feeling sorry for them in any way. And given that it hosts millions of peoples personal information and they tend to be mostly computer illiterate and lack security knowledge, it looks like a good target for hackers. I also really like the approach these guys are taking, by making fun of the other Month of Whatever projects. HD Moore's original Month of Browser Bugs was awesome, but the ones that followed seemed to get less and less important. So in the end, I guess we will just have to wait and see whether this is just another publicity stunt or if these guys have something to offer other then humour. Stay tuned.

SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence Summit 2013

     I recently attended the first SANS CTI Summit in Washington DC. While there was plenty of brain power in the room, and good discussions were to be had, overall it was just ok. There was a big focus on what CTI is and why you should be doing it, or at least consuming it. There wasn't enough discussion, aside from one talk, on how you should be doing it. It basically reinforced my beliefs that this is still very much a small, closed off club of insiders, where nobody is sharing tradecraft. I love that SANS is getting involved in this space though, and it sounds like Mike Cloppert will be writing a SANS course on Threat Intelligence in the future. I would very much be interested in that and I expect it would sell out quickly.      Mike Cloppert opened the day by discussing the old vulnerability centric approach focused on reducing attack surface as opposed to the new threat centric model focused on reducing the risk of the actual threats affecting your company. The key focus of

2020 SANS CTI Summit Notes

Unfortunately due to some back surgery I was not able to attend the SANS CTI summit this year, however I always try to take advantage of the great content SANS makes available. To help me out in synthesizing the information, I combined the context provided by those that were live tweeting which is useful when reviewing the slide decks. Hope you find this useful and well done @rickholland , @PDXbek , and @likethecoins , another great year of great content!

FIRST Conference 2018 - Review (Kuala Lumpur Edition)

As apart of my new job, my employer is seeking to gain FIRST membership later this year. To support that goal, I was asked to attend the 30th FIRST Conference in Kuala Lumpur. For the travel weary, this is not a trip to take lightly. For me it was 3 flights and 28 hours total of travel just to arrive. I do have to say, the conference venue, the Shangri-La hotel is absolutely fabulous. Very nice, clean, and ultra courteous staff. The swag bag I was given at registration was also very nice, including 3 shirts, challenge coin, notebook, mini first aid kit, and a pretty decent backpack. I also have to say the lunch options for the conference are vastly superior to anything I have ever experienced. SANS and Blackhat could learn a few things. For a 5 day conference, you get a much greater value here. If you are interested in jumping straight the slides you can visit here . Opening The conference was kicked off on Day 1 by Thomas Schreck (@shrekts) who gave out some
