Case Study: Profiling Threats
PURPOSE OF ASSIGNMENT
This assignment will expose you to current issues and gain insight into present threats to consider appropriate countermeasures. Profiling threats is a core skill for any strategic thinker in cyber security.
The Blackhat USA Conference of 2019 lists a number of different training opportunities. The following is a summary of one such training session:
Achieving Security Awareness Through Social Engineering Attacks
“Learn how to use modern social engineering attack tools and gain a better understanding of physical and network attack vectors. Classroom hands ¬on exercises will include basic open ¬source intelligence (OSINT) skill¬building, risk evaluation of humans, use of the Hak5 Pineapple to conduct WiFi-based spoofing and human attacks, and performing physical computer attacks with the Hak5 Bash Bunny. The emphasis of the class exercises, real¬ world case studies, and demonstrations is on building comprehension of attack techniques that can be used to perform pen testing and create awareness programs. Class activities will introduce students to profiling the online presence of employees and enterprises, as well as performing hands-on attacks against WiFi and physical computers”
