Assumed is excited to introduce our new cyber-deception platform at Blue Team Con. As you may have inferred from your lanyards or honey jar included in the swag bag, Assumed Seeds are honey tokens and honey accounts. Honey tokens and honey accounts are fake data or user accounts set up to lure cyber attackers, helping organizations detect and respond to unauthorized access attempts without risking real information under their care. During this lab session, get hands on with the Assumed platform to create honey tokens to detect data leaks faster, identify insider threats, vet data partners, and most importantly – slow attackers down, reveal their tactics and identify abuse of personal data.

In this hands-on lab we will review a Play ransomware attack and you can review the collected data to find evidence. We’ll look at the methods of initial access, tools used to pivot and exfiltrate data and culminating in the deployment of the Play encryptor. In addition to an overview of the attack we will conduct a deep dive into the incident investigation. Examining the artifacts created during the attack and how they can be leveraged to build a picture of what happened. The primary tool for the lab will be Cyber Triage, which is an automated investigation platform that focuses on identifying the relevant artifacts.
