Attack Emulation Tools: Atomic Red Team, CALDERA and More with Carrie Roberts

There are several frameworks available for executing these scripted attacks including MITRE CALDERA and VECTR.

This class will provide an overview of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and give you in-depth, hands-on knowledge of how to execute scripted attacks that exercise many of the techniques defined in MITRE ATT&CK. You will be provided with hands-on lab instructions for emulating a variety of attacks and creating visualizations using the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator. At the end of this class, you will have the knowledge and tools to begin executing simulated attacks within your own test environment, allowing you to create and validate detections in a script-able and consistent way.

An abundance of well documented labs with screenshots provided on the following topics:

• MITRE ATT&CK and the ATT&CK Navigator
• Atomic Red Team
• Mitre CALDERA
• Vectr

Whether you are a student of information security or a seasoned network defender there is something to learn from getting involved in the Attack Emulation space and this course will help you do that.

Note: We do not write detections in this class.
