Webcast: How to Build a Phishing Engagement - Coding TTP's

Building a phishing engagement is hard. While the concept is straightforward, real-world execution is tricky. Being successful takes enormous amounts of up-front setup and knowledge in quickly evolving phishing tactics. While there is always a need to craft a custom email, the most considerable amount of work is setting up an infrastructure to make it all work. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a playbook of how to set everything up to save time and prevent mistakes? What if we coded this playbook ...

Webcast: Getting Started in Pentesting The Cloud: Azure

In this Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) webcast, you will learn tools and techniques for performing penetration tests against Microsoft Azure environments. Increasingly, more organizations are migrating resources to being hosted in the cloud. With this comes a greater potential for misconfiguration if there isn’t a solid understanding of the attack surface. While there are many similarities between traditional on-premises pentesting and cloud-based pentesting, the latter is an animal of ...

Webcast: Your Free and Open Source EDR Options!

There has been a huge explosion of different free and open-source options for EDR in the security space. Which is nice because the commercial offerings are stupid expensive. In this Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) webcast, we look at OpenEDR, Elastic, and Velociraptor. With all these great options, there is no reason your organization should not have one of these offerings. Further, they are essential for any IR gig you may do.

Webcast: Ok, Let's Talk About Ransomware

This is a joint emergency webcast from the teams of Black Hills Information Security, Wild West Hackin’ Fest, and Active Countermeasures, presented by John Strand. There have been a couple of very scary ransomware stories in the news over the past few weeks. We figured it would be a good idea to throw a quick emergency webcast together to cover some of these new developments and hit on some very real and very easy things to mitigate against some of these attacks. We say “some” because these atta...

Webcast: OPSEC Fundamentals for Remote Red Teams

Every interaction with the target’s website, every email sent, and every network service probed leaves some trace that the red team was there. Mature blue teams can correlate those pieces of information to identify red team actions and infrastructure, and use that information to either block the red team outright or execute deception operations to frustrate further a...
