Analyzing Suspicious Artifacts (deep dive)

The talk builds upon our previous talk, 'Triaging Suspicious Artifacts'. We dive deeper into a suspicious artifact learning as much as we can about its capability, purpose, and origin. We will demonstrate how the output from our analysis serves as input into threat intelligence and threat hunts.

Jonas Eichinger currently works as a Sr. Consultant for Security Risk Advisors. His focus is Digital Forensics & Incident Response, malware reverse engineering, defensive tool development, and cloud security. Any time not spent taking apart payloads, investigating security incidents, or knowledge sharing is divvied up between fermenting cabbage, collecting vintage computers, and fixing old Volvo station wagons. Those are normal hobbies, right… right?
