The Attackers Dictionary

Explore the world of cybersecurity and attacker behavior in this 47-minute conference talk from OISF 2016. Delve into topics such as auditing credential criminal attacks, Project Sonar, and low-interaction honeypots with Heisenberg. Examine Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) endpoints and attacker sources while learning about password complexity and lifetime measurements. Discuss the legal implications and ethical considerations of actively scanning the Internet and testing suspect credentials. Analyze the National Exposure Index and challenge your understanding of correlation versus causation. Gain insights into the mindset of bad actors and their hacking capabilities, ultimately enhancing your knowledge of cybersecurity threats and defense strategies.
