The Best Defense is a Great Offense - Leveraging Automated OffSec to Build Proactive C2 Detections

Discover how to build proactive Command & Control (C2) detections in this 35-minute conference talk from BSidesSF 2023. Learn about push-button C2 infrastructure that simulates complex attacker behaviors and generates high-fidelity signals for developing generalized detection capabilities. Explore the concept of leveraging automated offensive security techniques to enhance defensive strategies against evolving C2 threats. Gain insights from speakers Sam Manzer and Mike Parowski on creating comprehensive and rigorously-validated detections to stay ahead of sophisticated attackers.
