DNS Spikes Strikes and The Like - BSides San Francisco 2015

Analyzing traffic patterns for trends can be a rich source of information for investigating potential malicious domains. This talk will be an examination of spikes in DNS queries and how they can be used to find potentially new threats. Malicious domains that appear as spiked domains usually belong to Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) or exploit kit families. However, not all domains that spike are necessarily malicious. One challenge is sifting through the large data set and extracting the potentially harmful spikes. To accomplish this goal we rely on unsupervised learning methods such as clustering to help us explore and eventually classify the data.

Anatomy of a Phish - BSides San Francisco 2015

This talk takes a look at modern phishing campaigns and how they have evolved from simple generic HTML based sites attempting to grab login credentials to full dynamic sites that almost flawlessly mirror the real ones attempting to gather login credentials, credit card information, and social security numbers. Topics covered will include discovered IoC's, various kits for sale, detection methods, top companies spoofed, and potential victim loss.
