So… Has it been working?
“85 percent of enterprises surveyed have been
breached in the last 12 months, with 64 percent of
the breaches costing $2 million or more.” - csi
 Of those:
 99% used antivirus software
 98% used firewalls
 91% employed physical security to protect their
computer and information assets
 92% employed some measure of access control

So… Has it been working?
 Misuse of network access by employees was about as
frequent as virus attacks, occurring in more than 75% of
organizations.
 Theft of proprietary information occurred in over 20% of
organizations, resulting in financial losses of more than
$ 2.7 million on average.
 Denial of service occurred in over 40% of organizations,
with financial losses averaging over $2.5 million per
organization.
 System penetration occurred in more than 35% of
organizations, sabotage in over 25%.
 Disgruntled employees were identified nearly as often as
external hackers as the most likely source of security
violations (over 75% of organizations cited both!).

Discovery
2017-05-25
Totally Connected Security
Exploitation
 Vulnerable service is found
 Attacker searches internet for existing exploit
 Attacker creates their own exploit
 Exploit is run against system
 Typically gain root or administrator privileges
 At worst gain low level user privileges
 System’s security is compromised

Forensics
 Some questions to ask:
 What type of evidence is being sought?
 Is there a computer use policy?
 Is there a network administrator?
 Where are the backups?
 If conducting a large search:
 What keywords can I use to identify computers
that contain evidence?
 What type of system will I be looking at?

Point of entry
Things to look for;
 Unusual registry keys
 \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\R
un\*
 Modified hosts file
 %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
 Unknown running services
 Run “sigverif”

Forensics
 I found it, now what?
 Shutting down systems:
 DOS, Win95/98/NT/2K/XP – Pull the plug
 NT Server / Win2k Server – Shut down
 Image the drive to preserve the evidence

Once you have your image, maintain
proper chain of custody
 Ensure evidence is stored securely and
logs are maintained of all who have
access
