A practical guide to understanding and analyzing cyber attacks by advanced attackers, such as nation states.

A practical guide to understanding and analyzing cyber attacks by advanced attackers, such as nation states.

Cyber attacks are no longer the domain of petty criminals. Today, companies find themselves targeted by sophisticated nation state attackers armed with the resources to craft scarily effective campaigns. This book is a detailed guide to understanding the major players in these cyber wars, the techniques they use, and the process of analyzing their advanced attacks. Whether you're an individual researcher or part of a team within a Security Operations Center (SoC), you'll learn to approach, track, and attribute attacks to these advanced actors.

The first part of the book is an overview of actual cyber attacks conducted by nation-state actors and other advanced organizations. It explores the geopolitical context in which the attacks took place, the patterns found in the attackers' techniques, and the supporting evidence analysts used to attribute such attacks. Dive into the mechanisms of-

North Korea's series of cyber attacks against financial institutions, which resulted in billions of dollars stolen

The world of targeted ransomware attacks, which have leveraged nation state tactics to cripple entire corporate enterprises with ransomware

Recent cyber attacks aimed at disrupting or influencing national elections globally

The book's second part walks through how defenders can track and attribute future attacks. You'll be provided with the tools, methods, and analytical guidance required to dissect and research each stage of an attack campaign. Here, Jon DiMaggio demonstrates some of the real techniques he has employed to uncover crucial information about the 2021 Colonial Pipeline attacks, among many other advanced threats. He now offers his experience to train the next generation of expert analysts.
