Description

Little has been written about what to do when live hackers are on your system and running amok. Even experienced hackers tend to choke up when they realize the network defender has caught them and is zoning in on their implants in real time. This book will provide tips and tricks all along the kill chain of an attack, showing where hackers can have the upper hand in a live conflict and how defenders can outsmart them in this adversarial game of computer cat and mouse. This book contains two subsections in each chapter, specifically focusing on the offensive and defensive teams. It begins by introducing you to adversarial operations and principles of computer conflict where you will explore the core principles of deception, humanity, economy, and more about human-on-human conflicts. Additionally, you will understand everything from planning to setting up infrastructure and tooling that both sides should have in place. Throughout this book, you will learn how to gain an advantage over opponents by disappearing from what they can detect. You will further understand how to blend in, uncover other actors’ motivations and means, and learn to tamper with them to hinder their ability to detect your presence. Finally, you will learn how to gain an advantage through advanced research and thoughtfully concluding an operation. By the end of this book, you will have achieved a solid understanding of cyberattacks from both an attacker’s and a defender’s perspective.

Who is this book for?

Pentesters to red teamers, security operations center analysts to incident responders, attackers, defenders, general hackers, advanced computer users, and security engineers will benefit from this book. Participants in purple teaming or adversarial simulations will also learn a lot from its practical examples of processes for gaining an advantage over the opposing team. Basic knowledge of Python, Go, Bash, PowerShell, system administration as well as knowledge of incident response in Linux and prior exposure to any kind of cybersecurity knowledge, penetration testing, and ethical hacking basics will help you follow along.

What you will learn

Understand how to implement process injection and how to detect it
Turn the tables on the offense with active defense
Disappear on the defender's system, by tampering with defensive sensors
Upskill in using deception with your backdoors and countermeasures including honeypots
Kick someone else from a computer you are on and gain the upper hand
Adopt a language agnostic approach to become familiar with techniques that can be applied to both the red and blue teams
Prepare yourself for real-time cybersecurity conflict by using some of the best techniques currently in the industry

Lots of good nuggets on Refferance material, solid concepts and guidance, easy to understand.

Where do I begin. I am just about done my journey through this dark arts of a book and I’ve learned how to better scan for vulnerability and collect network traffic than I ever could. The Most experienced hackers wouldn’t even be able to achieve this level of finesse and artistry on their own. Dan Borges hand delivers the tools and techniques necessary to become a titan in security. Really wish I had known about this book sooner but I’m glad i have it now

This book goes into great technical depth in the cybersecurity space.

Dan's senior-level infosec experience becomes very apparent as you navigate the pages of his book. Even for someone just starting out with information security concepts like myself, this book is a crucial read. He outlines a lot of concepts that are often overlooked, including the principle of physical control. This book touches on a lot and has motivated me to seek out an eventual hacking competition. The book is heavy on theory in the first 2 chapters but helps to clarify many of the most popular and even some-lesser known and open source tools out there at a hacker's disposal. The book is full of different red and blue (offensive and defensive) tactics that anyone looking to become a pentester ought to know. You'll find a massive amount of customized linux terminal commands/scripts, as well as later chapter that dives into keylogging, to name just a few. Coming from an IT Support background with only a Security+ and a little hands-on infosec experience, this book really helped me to better visualize the preparations and goals involved in hacking competitions. With the level of time-sensitivity that is involved in hacking competitions, this book is an absolute bible in gearing one up for what to expect. I highly highly recommend this book. Whether you're just delving in to information security or are in a mid to sr level role, you will finish this book with a plethora of new knowledge.
