Using Sysmon to increase Security Onion effectiveness

Author Josh Brower did a great job in this research project. From the paper's abstract, "With more network traffic being encrypted, as well as the persistence of advanced adversaries, it is becoming increasingly imperative that there is greater visibility at the host-level. With this greater visibility comes the ability to more efficiently detect and respond to threats. This paper highlights the use of Sysmon to enrich existing Windows host visibility capabilities in Security Onion, as well as how to use this increased visibility in detection and incident response."

 

New GIAC Cert GCHQ

Global Intelligence Acquired Covertly, (GIAC), is please to announce our newest certification, the GCHQ. The GCHQ is your opportunity to demonstrate your mastery of the Zero Knowledge Reproof, (ZKR).

GIAC's Hero's Quest, (GCHQ), is the highest level of IntelWars. All Your SIMs Belong to Us, (AYSBU) is an automated adventure game/role-playing game hybrid, designed by a joint unit consisting of operatives from the NSA and its British counterpart Government Communications Headquarters, or GCHQ, (recursion alert), and available in both tournament mode and continuous play. Feedback from beta testers give it credit for being a genre-defining test of skill mixing graphical adventure gaming with role-playing-like elements such as statistic building (cryptoanalysis, Intel microcode hijacking, or electricity sinewave manipulation for remote access) that would actually have an impact on the ability to accomplish certain parts of the simulation. Candidates have 72 hours to locate and acquire the private keys from Geppetto, an international digital security company providing smart cards, tokens and the world's most secure Subscriber Identify Module, (SIM).

Practical El Jefe, (Windows process monitoring), by Charles Vedaa

The continuing threat increase is leading to something considered impossible ten years ago, a host based, OS monitoring solution. Author Charles Vedaa describes how to implement El Jefe, a fairly lightweight and economical solution. See the paper here.
