The Ammunition You Need to Find Evil and Solve Crime

About Us

Welcome to M-unition, the MANDIANT blog. Here we share our insights about the tools we create and use to find evil and solve crime.

Join us for The Fresh Prints of Mal-Ware Webinar Series: Explosion of the Axis of Evil!

Written by Peter Silberman

In September I had the chance to speak at Source Barcelona with Ero Carrera. We gave a talk entitled State Of Malware: Explosion of the Axis of Evil. Both Ero and I really enjoyed giving this talk and the content is so new, we’ve decided to give it again as a free webinar on Nov 5th at 2pm. You’ll get the same content, and Ero and I will be speaking. You’ll also get the added bonus of getting to ask us questions.

I know you’re wondering,  ‘Should I be interested in this talk?’ The answer is unequivocally yes. First, you get to hear my and Ero’s angelic voices, which alone is worth the price of admission (free).

Second, this talk runs the gamut of information. Ero will discuss volume, how much VirusTotal sees on a day-to-day basis. He will also cover popular families (I bet you can’t guess which is the most popular, and no it doesn’t start with my and end in doom). Ero will also discuss obfuscation, what trends Virus Total is seeing, what kinds of packers, etc.

I will discuss the Advanced Persistent Threat, specifically speaking about the malware these attackers leave behind. I will discuss how the malware commonly behaves, what it can look like, and why it’s so hard to catch these guys.

You will get interesting statistics like what percent of APT backdoors are detected by any engine VirusTotal supports. You might also see a statistic like what percent of APT uses encryption when communicating.

We’ll cover information that can be interesting to a network administrator trying to protect his company, a CSO who wants to understand the threat landscape better, forensicators who are trying to catch these guys, malware analysts who are curious about behavior, and those who just want to hear our voices!

Hope you guys can join us for a good time, I know Ero and I really enjoyed giving this talk at Source Barcelona and are looking forward to doing it again.
