Texas Cyber Summit II

In this talk, come witness BackdorOS a new stealth malicious in-memory OS through a demo that will then be released directly in your hands. This malicious OS, just like a regular OS, provides a software platform on top of which application programs can run. Then I will explore already-existing applications that can run on top of it and how to develop new applications for BackdorOS. Wait for it! I then touch upon how to detect and remediate such threat
Notes: My company specializes in developing breach and attack simulation software. We’re focused on researching novel attack methods. This is one of the many projects that we publish. (Examples for past projects: “The Adventures of AV and the Leaky Sandbox” and “Crippling HTTPS with Unholy PAC”

Today’s red team isn’t enough. Because we want to move our defense and understanding beyond a detection-based approach which has repeatedly been demonstrated to fail. How do we emulate an adversary? We will go through multiple considerations of the entire red team lifecycle including walking through open source toolsets. We will talk through in detail specific host and network activities for emulation. And, we will conclude with how we can work on these activities towards a purple team approach.
