Wild West Hackin' Fest

As pen testers, we are familiar with the techniques used to attack an environment. Knowing these techniques informs us with respect to various methods of potential detection. In fact, we are often asked by our clients what they could have done to detect the methods we used to successfully compromise their environment. There are so many great community projects out there that allow defenders to assemble their own toolkit for tactical, and focused environment monitoring. If you follow the Black Hills blogs, webcasts, and tool releases you know that we tend to not neglect the network defenders in the community and cover these tools and how to implement them. That's because while we know that while offense can be and flashy and fun, defense wins the game. In this updated talk, we will cover a continuing evolution of how you can use free and open source tools to help detect potential attackers in your network.
