Presented at
May Contain Hackers (MCH2022),
July 23, 2022, 9 p.m.
(30 minutes)
Borne out of a semi-flippant Twitter comment, this talk will take you on a journey across the benefits, pitfalls, and outright BS of attribution.
Expect passionate opinions, trenchfoot inducing war stories, head+desk frustration, and a strong meme game.
With this session, which is aimed at security practitioners, researchers, students, and anyone with an interest in cybersecurity, we hope to:
• Highlight the value of decent threat intelligence
• Establish why attribution can be valuable, but how it can be a distraction, or worse
• Inform people who are interested in attribution and threat intelligence as areas of study how they can pursue it
