In this episode of the "Out of the Woods Threat Hunting Podcast," Scott and Tom break down the top threat hunting stories for the week of August 26, 2024. They dive into SetXP, a stealthy Linux malware that manipulates UDEV rules to evade detection, and explore why it’s not yet on the MITRE ATT&CK radar. The duo also covers PeakLight, a new memory-only dropper, and Stick Stealer, a malware targeting browser data and crypto wallets. Wrapping up with insights from a BlackSuit ransomware breach, they discuss how attackers often reuse old techniques in new ways. This episode challenges the notion of what truly makes an execution unique, offering practical tips for staying ahead of evolving threats.
