Semester Project
The semester project consists of two parts; a PowerPoint presentation, and a 3 page written report.
The project is entitled “Attack, Vulnerability, Mitigation” or “AVM” for short.
I would like for you to go out into industry websites or publications and identify a recent attack and analyze it. I suggest looking at websites similar to these listed below:
- Symantec
https://www.symantec.com/ - FireEye (Specifically Mandiant)
https://www.fireeye.com/current-threats.html - Kaspersky Labs
https://press.kaspersky.com/ - McAffee/Intel Security
https://www.mcafee.com/us/apps/view-all/publications.aspx?tf=aaae16480 - Dark Reading
http://www.darkreading.com/ - US-CERT
https://www.us-cert.gov/ - ICS-CERT
https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/ - CrowdStrike
https://www.crowdstrike.com/resources/#filter=.tag…
I would like to know information like:
- What is the name of the attack?
- Is it part of a targeted campaign or a much broader “spray and pray” operation?
- What type or organization(s) are being targeted?
- How does the attack happen? What does the malware do? (i.e. Phishing campaign followed by download and replication of malware via worm?) Specifically what are the names and attributes of the malware?
- What are the vulnerabilities the attack exploits? (Buffer overflow? SQL Injection? etc.)
- What are some of the mitigation strategies?
- Using the NIST 800-53 (http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-53r4.pdf) Control Catalogue, please give me at least six controls that would have helped mitigate against the attack and a description of why.
I will upload example for the PowerPoint.
