Join us for an interactive forensics scavenger hunt analyzing a pcap with some of the latest variants of ransomware. We will be looking at how Angler EK can, and often will deliver multiple infections such as Locky, CryptXXX and even some unknown goodies.

This will be an interactive session and I will try to come up with some small goodies to give away for those that solve the pieces to the puzzle first. Please bring a laptop with Wireshark installed to participate. Wireshark is a free protocol analyzer and an excellent tool for you toolbox. You can download it here: https://www.wireshark.org/

If you aren’t sure how to use Wireshark you can review the notes from our May session about Wireshark. There are also some good tutorials on Youtube. These both use the old Wireshark interface, the new one looks a bit different. All of the concepts are the same, some of the menus have just been moved around. If you have it installed, and are familiar with it, the session will be a lot more beneficial to you.

The meeting will be on 10/13 at R&K Solutions, 2797 Frontage Rd NW, STE 1000, Roanoke, VA 24017 at 5:30pm. Google Maps.
