 ring Community) - [1]Map\n\n   SpeakerBio:Crane Hassold\n   Crane Hassold 
 has worked in the social engineering and behavioral\n   analysis space for
  more than 16 years. He is currently the Director of\n   Threat Intelligen
 ce at Abnormal Security\, where he leads a team\n   responsible for resear
 ching enterprise-focused cyber threats\,\n   particularly business email c
 ompromise (BEC) and credential phishing\n   attacks. Prior to moving to th
 e private sector in 2015\, Crane served\n   as an Analyst at the FBI for m
 ore than 11 years\, spending most of his\n   career in the Behavioral Anal
 ysis Units\, providing support to\n   intelligence community and law enfor
 cement partners against national\n   security adversaries and serial viole
 nt criminals. In 2012\, Crane\n   helped create the FBI’s Cyber Behavior
 al Analysis Center\, which\n   combines the traditional behavioral concept
 s used for decades in the\n   violent crime world with technical expertise
  to gain a holistic\n   understanding of cyber adversary TTPs.\n\n   Descr
 iption:\n   Too often\, our understanding of cyber threats is limited to p
 assive\n   observation of the threat as it comes into an environment. In e
 ssence\,\n   the only intelligence that can be gleaned from this type of p
 assive\n   collection is simply what the adversary reveals in the initial 
 phase\n   of an attack and we are blind to the rest of the attack cycle. T
 his\n   presentation will cover how today’s phishing attacks present us 
 with\n   an opportunity to better understand the full cycle of a cyber att
 ack\n   by engaging with an attacker to collect intelligence to reveal wha
 t\n   happens AFTER a potential attack is successful. We’ll start by\n  
  talking about the concept of active defense\, which helps answer the\n   
 question\, “And then what?” that we aren’t able to answer using\n   
 normal passive intelligence collection. We’ll discuss why these\n   tact
 ics work so well and how the same behavioral exploits scammers use\n   to 
 con victims can also be used to better understand their attacks.\n   We’
 ll end by looking at some examples of successful active defense\n   engage
 ments\, including an engagement with a ransomware actor that used\n   mult
 iple communication platforms and will include some clips of\n   conversati
 ons with the actor where we’ll learn more about his\n   background and m
 otivations.\n   '\n\n   1. https://defcon.outel.org/consolidated_page.html
