Book Description
An organization must be ready to detect and respond effectively to security events and breaches. Preventive measures alone are not enough in dealing with adversaries. A well-rounded prevention, detection and response program is required. This book aims to raise the bar by highlighting homefield advantage opportunities.
Embrace the Red: The first part of the book focuses on establishing, managing and measuring a red team program, as well as ideas for sharing results and demonstrating impact to raise awareness. Readers will learn about progressive operations like crypto currency mining, focused privacy testing, targeting telemetry and blue team tooling, and more.
The second part is dedicated to tactics, techniques, and security research. Rather than enumerating how to use typical pen test tools, the reader will learn foundational techniques to improve effectiveness. First, we cover knowledge graphs and how to build one. Next hunting for credentials will be covered from basics to advanced techniques. And readers will learn how to protect assets using decoys, auditing, and alerting with examples for major operating systems.
By the end of this book, readers will be proficient with the knowledge required to build and measure a red team program and learn about operational tactics and techniques to augment existing skills.
