Study Notes
Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs)
- Definition: Patterns of activities and methods used by threat actors or groups during attacks.
-
Tactics: Overall strategy used by attackers to carry out an attack from start to finish, revealing their goals.
- Examples: Employing social engineering through phishing campaigns to gain unauthorized access.
-
Techniques: Specific technical methods or tools used to achieve intermediate attack objectives, highlighting system vulnerabilities.
- Examples: Using SQL injection to gain access to a database in web application attacks.
-
Procedures: Systematic steps followed by attackers to execute an attack, exposing their intentions and targets.
- Examples: Gaining access through phishing emails and moving laterally within a network to steal data.
Information Warfare (InfoWar)
- Definition: Using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to gain competitive advantages over opponents, including attacking or defending systems and data.
-
Weapons of Information Warfare:
- Viruses, worms, Trojan horses, logic bombs, trap doors, electronic jamming, penetration exploits, nanomachines, microbes.
-
Categories of Information Warfare (Martin Libicki’s Classification):
- Command and Control Warfare (C2 Warfare): Attackers control compromised systems and networks.
- Intelligence-based Warfare: Uses technology to corrupt systems and dominate the battlefield by gaining knowledge.
-
Electronic Warfare: Uses radio-electronic and cryptographic techniques to disrupt communication.
- Radio-electronic: Attacks physical communication means.
- Cryptographic: Uses digital means to disrupt communication.
- Psychological Warfare: Employs propaganda, terror, and other psychological techniques to demoralize adversaries.
- Hacker Warfare: Aims to shutdown systems, cause errors, steal data, and manipulate systems, using tools like viruses and sniffers.
- Economic Warfare: Disrupts the flow of information to damage the economy of businesses or nations, particularly affecting digital-reliant organizations.
- Cyberwarfare: Targets the virtual identities of individuals or groups using information systems.
Incident Handling and Response (IH&R)
- A structured approach to managing security incidents and cyberattacks, involving planning, execution, and communication to minimize disruption.
- Aims to restore normal service as quickly as possible while mitigating the impact of the incident.
- Key Elements:
- Preparation: Establishing policies, procedures, and teams for effective response.
- Incident Recording: Logging and documenting incidents for analysis and future reference.
- Incident Triage: Evaluating and prioritizing incidents based on severity and impact.
- Notification: Informing stakeholders about the incident and response actions.
- Containment: Preventing the spread of the incident to other systems or assets.
- Evidence Gathering: Collecting data for forensic analysis to understand the incident's nature.
- Eradication: Removing the incident's root cause and closing any vulnerabilities.
- Recovery: Restoring affected systems and services to normal operation.
