WS-1023 - Malware Traffic Analysis Workshop 2

Presented at Texas Cyber Summit 2019, Oct. 12, 2019, 1 p.m. (180 minutes)

This session is part two of a hands-on workshop presented across two separate sessions. The training provides a foundation for investigating packet captures (pcaps) of malicious network traffic from hosts running Microsoft Windows. Participants will review basic investigation concepts, set up Wireshark, and identify hosts and users in network traffic. The training provides several examples of infection traffic that focuses on mass-distribution commodity malware commonly seen from malicious spam. Pcaps for this workshop will be available online. For the best hands-on experience, participants should have a relatively current version of Wireshark (version 2.6 or better), preferably in a non-Windows environment.* You will be required to bring your own laptop, please install a virtual machine (VM) running Linux is recommended for participants using a Windows-based laptop.
