Advanced Phishing Tactics Beyond User Awareness
SkyDogCon 2012
Martin Bos & Eric Milam
Over the past 10 years, organizations have spent time, resources and
considerable financial investments to protect their external perimeter from
potential information security threats. Most advanced threat agents know if and
when they bypass the hardened perimeter, successfully compromising assets within
the internal environment is trivial, with very few controls in place to stop a
focused and motivated intruder.
This talk will discuss why spear phishing penetration testing is a necessary
exercise for all organizations. We will walkthrough and demonstrate live our
methodology that has proven extremely effective on numerous engagements. We will
also focus on why advanced techniques should be used to assess internal user
environments as a whole and that approaching a social engineering exercise as a
user awareness exercise is not beneficial for an enterprise.
