APT Tactics: Lazarus, Ransomware, and Advanced Exploitation is an intermediate-level course designed to immerse participants in the sophisticated techniques and operations used by Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) such as the Lazarus Group. This hands-on course provides deep insights into their tactics, including ransomware deployment, lateral movement, and data exfiltration, with a focus on real-world scenarios.
Students will learn to leverage tools and techniques like RDP, PSExec, and SMB for lateral movement across enterprise networks, exploit vulnerabilities like Log4J (CVE-2021-44228), and deploy ransomware not just on systems but also on enterprise backups. The course includes training on stealing high-value assets, such as cryptocurrency wallets, and crafting comprehensive campaigns against both Windows and Linux environments.
In addition to simulating ransomware attacks, participants will practice disabling Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, explore Bring Your Own Driver (BYOD) attack techniques, and emulate high-profile breaches, such as the WannaCry ransomware outbreak. Through engaging labs and carefully constructed emulation exercises, attendees will apply these techniques in realistic scenarios, gaining a thorough understanding of both offensive operations and the defensive strategies needed to counter them.
This course is aimed at intermediate red team operators who are looking to upgrade their skills in executing modern Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).
