Recently, my co-founders gave a talk at DerbyCon 7.0 on evading common persistence enumeration tools. Evasion using trusted applications has been a hot topic of discussion within the infosec community and is one of the techniques they covered in their presentation. However, very little discussion exists on why these matter or the steps researchers take to find “hosting” applications.
Top global airline companies have been compromised by fraudsters for the second time during the last six months.
Over the past month, the Emotet family of malware has re-emerged as a formidable piece of crimeware, thanks to its new self-propagation techniques (undoubtedly inspired by the success of WannaCry and Petya).

When it comes to breaches, it’s hard to find a silver lining when the end result is customer down time, data theft, or damaged reputations. For Managed Service Providers with tens to hundreds (or even thousands) of clients, the stakes are even higher. In this MSP Moment, we’re highlighting how NTConnections, a Washington DC based MSP, responded to a database outage which quickly escalated into an incident response effort.
When it comes to troubleshooting software errors, analyzing malware samples, or discovering security misconfigurations, the Sysinternals Suite can likely solve your problem. For many IT and Security professionals, this collection of Windows utilities is similar to the Swiss Army knife.
