Offensive Countermeasures: The Art of Active Defense


Listen Later

This excerpt explores "Offensive Countermeasures - The Art Of Active Defense," a publication challenging traditional passive cybersecurity methods. The author, John Strand of Black Hills Information Security, advocates for proactive defensive strategies, arguing that current approaches are often inadequate. The text discusses legal considerations and case studies related to "hacking back," emphasizing the need for careful, legal actions and avoiding illegal retaliatory strikes like denial-of-service attacks. It highlights the importance of attribution in understanding attackers and details various tools and techniques for active defense, such as honeypots, web traps, and methods for identifying attacker locations and activity. Ultimately, the book aims to initiate a broader discussion on implementing offensive tactics within a defensive framework to create a less favorable environment for attackers.
