APT, Cyberwar, ANONYMOUS, ACTIVE DEFENSE! All things you will hear along with the word “Attribution” but what is the point of attribution anyway? Are you going to hack back? Will you really be able to tell who really hacked you anyway? This talk is a cry for sanity in a world where the new hotness is attributing who attacked you even though the damage has already been done. In this presentation I will go beyond attribution of who did what to whom and show you methods to use the WHO to perform a 360 degree assessment of WHY you were attacked and HOW it was successfully carried out.
This talk will discuss common techniques of OSINT, Psychology, Sociology, Forensics, Asset Classification, and other INFOSEC standard practices within a framework for securing your environment in a more holistic manner while using salty language and imagery.
