Another great meeting with a lot new faces and a lot of familiar ones. Big “Thanks!” to David Raymond (@dnomyard) for presenting and ECPI for hosting. David was kind enough to provide us a copy of the slides, you can grab them here:

If you want some more practice with pcaps and malware definitely check out: http://www.malware-traffic-analysis.net/ Just be careful if you export HTTP Objects out of those as they do contain actual malware. Don’t infect yourself! 🙂

Brad (@malware_traffic), who runs that site, does an outstanding job posting tutorials as well as breakdowns of current samples and traffic patterns. He joined Unit 42, Palo Alto’s Threat Research group,which does some excellent in depth write-ups on malware. This write-up on Locky ransomware and Nuclear EK is a good example: http://researchcenter.paloaltonetworks.com/2016/03/locky-ransomware-installed-through-nuclear-ek/
