In this session, we’ll take a look at how new techniques are transforming the way red teamers simulate real-world cyber attacks. As a red teamer and former data scientist, I’ll show you how we can replicate the tactics of highly sophisticated adversaries, like APT groups or nation-state attackers, to make our simulations more realistic and harder to defend against.

We’ll explore how these tactics can change during an engagement, adapting on the fly to stay one step ahead of blue teams. From creating malware that evolves to avoid detection to using clever evasion techniques, I’ll show you how we keep blue teams guessing and unable to catch us with traditional defenses. We’ll also dive into how we can teach malware to adjust to new detection methods, making it harder to spot.

You’ll learn how automation can streamline routine red team tasks, like scanning for vulnerabilities or deploying exploits, leaving more time to focus on high-level strategy. And I’ll show you how we can build malware that adjusts its behavior in response to blue team efforts, keeping attacks fresh and elusive.
