    How it started. How it went. How it ended.

    🧵 I've been working on a presentation that looks at signs that you are probably in the early stages of a ransomware attack. The idea is to look at logs/threat hunting indicators that are almost always a sign of ransomware reconnaissance. Here is the list I have, I'd love to see

    I sincerely appreciate all of the great suggestions. Here is the updated chart based on everyone's input. I had to reformat it make it readable. I originally had company logos where the ransomware icon is but I figure companies won't want their logo on a ransomware chart 🤣.
    I could use your (yes you) help. I am trying to compile a list of vulnerabilities ransomware groups (or their access brokers) use to gain initial access. Excepting Kaseya, are there any others I am missing from this list? Remember, this is initial access only.

    I am trying to map out the anatomy of a ransomware attack. Are there any glaring steps or tools I am missing from this diagram (I know I didn't get all the tools ransomware groups use, but did I miss any big ones)?

    Big News 🚨! My ransomware book is out, but the book is just one part of a bigger project, ransomware.org. A comprehensive site designed to help orgs defend against ransomware...and they are making all the content from the book available at no cost. Please visit!

    Weird question, but does anyone know where I got these cards? I thought it was @dustrial, but I don’t see them on their site. I just sent my last one and want to order more.

    20+ years ago, when I entered Infosec the books I read were about firewall configuration and deep dives into protocols. Now, I am reading @VossNegotiation’s book, “Never Split the Difference,” to understand better ways to deal with ransomware groups.

    So, we are up to 42 vulnerabilities across 17 technologies (with 1 pending) that ransomware groups exploit for initial access. This is why preaching “just patch” isn’t good enough. I don’t know what the answer is, but what we’re doing clearly isn’t working.

    It is always amazing to me the things it never occurred to anyone to start tracking. It am glad this is being done now.

    I want to expand on the targeting point I made yesterday, but in non-meme format. This is a breakdown of known ransomware victims by industry in 2020 and 2021 that @ddd1ms and I have been working on. Notice, that with the exception of healthcare and possibly local government 1/4

    All the people going to Blackhat/Defcon who talk about burner phones and burner laptops obviously don't know how to conference. I just bring my own portable Faraday Cage on wheels. Makes it easier to get around AND no one can hack me. Just kidding, I just don't go 🤣
