As Blue Teamers, we're constantly on the lookout for the out-of-place, legit or not. We scan hosts, monitor logs, and build dashboards. But how do we know we're looking for the right thing? In this talk, we're going to pit blue team against red team, and expand our knowledge of common attack events. In a new presentation format, we're going to compromise a host via a red team method and immediately analyze for any DFIR artifacts left behind.
Attendees of this talk will gain immediate knowledge of how attackers do what they do, and how defenders do what they do. We can't always be right next to a breach, but the more we know, the closer we are.
