You've Got to Lurk Before you Smirk
from Beers with Talos Podcast Hosted by Cisco Talos
How do you get under a cybercriminal’s skin? Sometimes you expose their operations. Sometimes you make every step through a network painfully slow. And sometimes, if you’re Azim, you join a dark web forum where they’re insulting you, and help them do it. Azim and Nick join Hazel and Dave this week to discuss the fine art of frustrating adversaries, from ransomware-group paranoia to deception that wastes their time and gives defenders a chance to spot their activity. For more on this topic, check out our blog post https://blog.talosintelligence.com/the-fine-art-of-frustrating-the-adversary/ Plus: a listener question has us reflecting on the best parts of our job, we discuss the story of an insider threat whose browser history did the investigators a favor, and Dave makes a poetic tribute.
