During remote red team exercises, it can be difficult to keep from leaking information to the target organization’s security team. Every interaction with the target’s website, every email sent, and every network service probed leaves some trace that the red team was there. Mature blue teams can correlate those pieces of information to identify red team actions and infrastructure, and use that information to either block the red team outright or execute deception operations to frustrate further attacks. In this Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) webcast, Michael will discuss common sources of data leakage during remote red team exercises and steps red teamers can take to eliminate or disguise the leakage outright, or to compartmentalize their actions and keep the blue team from connecting the dots. He’ll also discuss how red teamers can see the attack from the defender’s point of view so that these concepts can be applied to new tools and technologies in the future.
