SpecterOps – Adversary Tactics: Tradecraft Analysis
Course Overview

In Adversary Tactics: Tradecraft Analysis, we present and apply a general tradecraft analysis methodology for offensive TTPs, focused on Windows components. We discuss Windows attack techniques and learn to deconstruct how they work underneath the hood. For various techniques, we identify the layers of telemetry sources and learn to understand potential detection choke points. Finally, the course culminates with participants creating their own technique evasion and detection strategy. You will be able to use the knowledge gained to both use your telemetry to create robust detection coverage across your organization, and truly assess the efficacy of that coverage.
