Adversarial Tradecraft in Cybersecurity: Offense versus defense in real-time computer conflict

• Gain an advantage against live hackers in a competition or real computing environment
• Understand advanced red team and blue team techniques with code examples
• Learn to battle in short-term memory, whether remaining unseen (red teams) or monitoring an attacker's traffic (blue teams)

• Understand how to implement process injection and how to detect it
• Turn the tables on the offense with active defense
• Disappear on the defender’s system, by tampering with defensive sensors
• Upskill in using deception with your backdoors and countermeasures including honeypots
• Kick someone else from a computer you are on and gain the upper hand
• Adopt a language agnostic approach to become familiar with techniques that can be applied to both the red and blue teams
• Prepare yourself for real-time cybersecurity conflict by using some of the best techniques currently in the industry

Pentesters to red teamers, security operations center analysts to incident responders, attackers, defenders, general hackers, advanced computer users, and security engineers will benefit from this book. Participants in purple teaming or adversarial simulations will also learn a lot from its practical examples of processes for gaining an advantage over the opposing team. Basic knowledge of Python, Go, Bash, PowerShell, system administration as well as knowledge of incident response in Linux and prior exposure to any kind of cybersecurity knowledge, penetration testing, and ethical hacking basics will help you follow along.
