New Follow-on to Adversary Tactics: Red Team Operations!
We're excited to announce the new red teaming course from SpecterOps: Identity-driven Offensive Tradecraft! The course is in active development, but take a peek below for a preview of the syllabus and to register for the inaugural delivery of the course in October 2024!
As modern architecture increasingly shifts services and data from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud, Identity becomes the thread that ties everything together.
Our Adversary Tactics: Identity-driven Offensive Tradecraft course is a follow-on to our Adversary Tactics: Red Team Operations course and offers an in-depth look at identity-driven attacks, targeting both on-premises and hybrid identities. Participants will learn how to abuse the intricacies of different authentication and authorization mechanisms to traverse on-premises and cloud environments, gain access to integrated systems, and even cross tenants. Participants will also be equipped with a practical approach to identifying known attack paths and forging new ones within complex operational environments and across people, processes, and technology.
Course Summary
Modern ecosystems rely on Identity Providers (IdP) and Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems to authenticate users and govern access. Threat actors and red teams alike have been adopting and adapting “identity-driven” tradecraft to navigate modern environments and identity attack paths to their objectives. But what turns a path into an attack path? How do attackers discover new paths? And how do they abuse identity and access management platforms to execute attacks and impact the target?
Adversary Tactics: Identity-driven Offensive Tradecraft equips participants with a method of discovering attack paths in complex environments, including previously disclosed techniques, as well as new attack primitives in common technology stacks and bespoke internal systems and processes. Participants will learn to identify and execute a wide range of elaborate attacks against both on-premises and cloud technologies. They will practice these skills hands-on in a specially designed lab environment that simulates a real-world client environment incorporating a variety of technologies and attack paths, including cross-tenant and supply chain attacks. Technologies covered include Kerberos, NTLM, ADCS, ADFS, SAML, Okta, Entra ID, OAuth, Azure, and hybrid identities.
In typical SpecterOps fashion, “Red vs. Blue” discussions are incorporated into the lectures to provide participants with the defender’s perspective and detection logic, as well as OPSEC considerations to counter those. A defender will also actively “hunt” participants in the lab to push them to improve their tradecraft by making educated decisions.
