In this 2 hour workshop, we will use new tools developed by Didier Stevens to deal with malicious Cobalt Strike beacons. There used to be a time, that a blue teamer could say: "this sample I just analyzed is a Cobalt Strike beacon: I'm sure this is a pen test". That is no longer the case: Cobalt Strike has become very popular with common criminals, and even some APT crews. Nowadays, if you encounter a Cobalt Strike sample, your organization is more likely to be under real attack than under simulated attack.
