Security researchers examine technical aspects of Adapting First Order Security Principles to Newer Architectural Trends.

Summary

Overview: Perimeter defenses are holding an important role in computer security. However, when we check the method of APT groups, a single spear-phishing usually enough to gain a foothold on the network. Therefore, red teams are mostly focused on "assume breach" type of scenarios. In these scenarios, testers need to use a post-exploitation framework. Besides that, testers also need to hide the server-agent communication from NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection Systems). firstorder is designed to evade Empir

Key Topics: e's C2-Agent communication from anomaly-based intrusion detection systems. It takes a traffic capture file (pcap) of the network and tries to identify normal traffic profile. According to results, it creates an Empire HTTP listener with appropriate options.
