Why are schools soft targets?

Is money/budget the reason schools get the raw deal here?

Why is ransomware such an appealing attack?

 

How complex is the school environment?
    Mobile, tablets, hostile users, hostile external forces

 

Adding technology too quickly? Outpacing the infrastructure in schools?







Just ideas for some questions. - Jared

 

Do you find vendors are very responsive in the education space when receiving a vulnerability report?

https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2019/09/10/parent-who-criticized-his-sons-math-program.html

When students, who you are trying to educate, when they are found doing something inappropriate, how do Districts handle it?

https://ktvz.com/news/2017/11/08/mtn-view-hs-bomb-threat-traced-to-eugene-14-year-old/

What challenges do Security people in education face when partnering with their user base?

Unlike a corporate setting, many educators and students need to install different software throughout the year, how is that handled?

How did April, Nathan, and Jared meet?



Is the technology stack in your various school systems changed much in the last 10 years? Have you moved to cloud based, or do you still have an IT shack at the school systems with physical machines? 

 

Localadmins are not granted… (excellent!)

2020-010-Dave Kennedy, offensive security tool release, Derbycom, and Esports


Dave Kennedy (@hackingDave)

TrustedSec

Released SEToolkit, Pentester Framework (PTF)

PoC release for “Shitrix” bug (was disclosed after Google zero initiative India group)

Jeff Snover, Lee Holmes - Powershell gods

Arguments against release

Tools are released are utilized by the ‘bad guys’

Tooling makes it more difficult to fingerprint who are who they say they are “Fuzzy Weasel Vs. Psycho Toads”

Makes the bad guys job harder by making them have to create the PoC (presumably most bad actors are skids)

 

 

Arguments for release

 

Tools allow for teaching Blue team, and SIEM/logging systems to understand 

Learning how something was created, being able to break down the vulnerability

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-evasion-encyclopedia-shows-how-malware-detects-virtual-machines/



Show #2:

DerbyCom - Tell us about it

Dave Kennedy Center for gaming and Leadship https://twitter.com/hackingdave/status/1220150360779710464?lang=en 

 

Offensive Security Tool release (PowerShell Empire 3.0)

Powershell is re-released, using Python:
https://twitter.com/BCSecurity1/status/1209126652300709888 

 

Initial tweet:

https://twitter.com/taosecurity/status/1209132572128747520

“We believe that Powershell and Empire framework will remain a major threat vector employed by APTs, malware authors, and Red Teams.” SO WHY ARE YOU UPDATING IT? You are improving capabilities you explicitly say are *used by bad guys.* Scottie, beam me up from this bizarro world.

Affirmations and evidence:

https://twitter.com/taosecurity/status/1209287582439395330 

Nope. One example: Iranian APT “CopyKittens” uses Powershell Empire. Incidentally, I found this example via

@MITREattack

. https://clearskysec.com/tulip/



https://twitter.com/michael_yip/status/1209151868036886528 

One can innovate without sharing with the adversary no? It’s literally how the defense industry work or am I missing something?

 

https://twitter.com/michael_yip/status/1209247219796398083 

… “Are we really justifying lowering the R&D cost of the adversary is the only way to attract talent to the defensive side. Not to mention - no one is saying developing OST is wrong. It’s the way they're being shared that’s problematic”  

 

https://twitter.com/2sec4u/status/1209169724799623169?s=20 

The whole idea is that actors can't just git clone an advanced post exploitation framework which bypasses 95% of organisations defences. It should cost actors time & money to bypass these defences but because red team keep releasing new stuff with bypasses... the cycle continues.

Comments in Support of initial argument

https://twitter.com/IISResetMe/status/1209180945011621889?s=20 

I really _want_ to agree. ... but I also work in an org with million dollar budgets, a dozen full-time detection engineers and analysts and an army of devs and sysadmins, and even we are having a hard time keeping up - how does this arms race "help" non-F500 orgs?

(later discussion does mention that he has a hard time seeing it as net negative) https://twitter.com/IISResetMe/status/1209183774182907904?s=20 

 

https://twitter.com/cnoanalysis/status/1209169633460150272?s=20 

“If we don’t create the offensive tools then the bad guys will!” That is a terrible argument for OST release. “We might as well do something that harms because someone else will do that eventually anyway...” there are so many logical fallacies I don’t have enough space

Rebuttals

https://twitter.com/r3dQu1nn/status/1209207550731677697 

Limiting yourself by not exposing more tooling to defenders is NOT how to improve security. Yikes. The more exposure you provide defenders gives you more detection's/IOC's you can build to help defend against APT's. That's the whole point of Proactive security.

 

https://twitter.com/bettersafetynet/status/1209138002473160707

It's vital that we continue to sharpen our swords. The commoditization of attacker techniques allows better defense against what adversaries are doing.

 

https://twitter.com/dragosr/status/1209213064446279680 

And this whole discussion ignores a simple fact that released information is way better than exploits passed around quietly or kept in stockpile caches regardless of anyone’s metric of responsibility (which is a debatable, very hypothetical line of what’s acceptable or not).

 

https://twitter.com/bettersafetynet/status/1209139099979923457

The very fact that you and others who are taking this side are trying to cajole and brow beat to this position shows how weak your argument is. MITRE ATT&CK took off like gang-busters not because they had a better trolling game, but because it was a great idea implemented well.



https://twitter.com/bettersafetynet/status/1209139578579275776 

It's odd that those who advocate this position point out these reports while ignoring all the vendor patches, all the hardening guidelines, basically all the technical defensive work that ops teams do. Nobody's doubting attackers use these techniques, we doubt your conclusions.

 

https://twitter.com/bettersafetynet/status/1209154592560353280 

My stance is likely to tick off both sides here. I think there are times that limited release is good. But over and over, we've seen where vendors do not change until something is publicly released.

https://twitter.com/r3dQu1nn/status/1209346356151631873

Security is a service that can be improved with products. Having no security or limiting exposure to offensive tool sets increases the chances of a breach. Ethical hackers sole purpose is to help make Blue better. Which is why purple teams are a great resource for any company.

 

https://twitter.com/ippsec/status/1209354476072689664?s=20 

To the people upset by public red team tools. If you cant detect open source tools than what chance do you have at detecting private one off tools. It’s much easier to automate a battle against 100 duck sized horses than it is to face off against a single horse sized duck.

Defender Classification of PowerShell Empire 3.0

https://www.bc-security.org/post/the-empire-3-0-strikes-back

 

Is there a way to protect against it?

 

Where does this sit in the ATT&CK Matrix? 



Features: 

 

Enhanced Windows Evasion vs. Defender

DPAPI support for “PSCredential” and “SecureString”

AMSI bypasses

JA3/S signature Randomization

New Mimikatz version intergration

 

Curveball test (CryptoAPI test scripts)

Dave’s new Esport initiative (opens in February): https://twitter.com/HackingDave/status/1220150360779710464

What is a Notebook?

Think of a notebook as a document that you can access via a web interface that allows you to save input (i.e live code) and output (i.e code execution results / evaluated code output) of interactive sessions as well as important notes needed to explain the methodology and steps taken to perform specific tasks (i.e data analysis).

“GreyMatter integrates security data from security incident and event manager (SIEM), endpoint detection and response (EDR), firewalls, threat intelligence feeds, and other security tools, and includes analysis functions and automation. Threatcare's technology — which will become a new feature on the platform — simulates how a specific threat or attack could target an organization's network in order to determine whether its security tools and settings are or are not actually working to thwart the threats.”

 

Security model - everyone’s is diff

    How do you work with your threat model?

    A proper threat model

 

Attack Simulation - 

    How is this different from doing a typical Incident Response tabletop? Threat modeling systems?

    How is this different than a pentest?

    Is this automated red teaming? How effective can automated testing be?

    Is this like some kind of constant scanning system?

    How does this work with threat intel feeds? 

    Can it simulate ransomware, or any attacks?

 

Hedgehog principles

    A lot of things crappily, and nothing good
