Hunting Malware with osquery at scale

Presented at BruCON 0x08 (2016), Oct. 27, 2016, 1:30 p.m. (240 minutes)

This workshop is an introduction to osquery, an SQL-powered operating system for instrumentation and analytics. osquery is developed and used by Facebook to proactively hunt for abnormalities. Since osquery allows us to easily ask questions about our infrastructure, it provides powerful capabilities, such as finding malware persistence techniques and scanning IOCs across our fleets of machines. This workshop is a very hands-on training and we expect participants to be comfortable with CLI.
