The book is also hosted in the Toronto Public Library. The book is also available through Google Play.

    Chinese transaltion is available at Amazon Bookstore.

    Reviews

    • ".the book works its way through how attacks are planned and executed, following by a description of protective measures and concluding with a bit of myth-busting in order to leave readers with a clear and accurate picture of what the threat really means for them.you get a very sharp sense of how and why these attacks are possible."

      Network Security

    • "The most complete text in targeted cyber attacks to date. Dr. Sood and Dr. Enbody are able to present the topic in an easy to read format that introduces the reader into the basics of targeted cyber attacks, how the attackers gather information about their target, what strategies are used to compromise a system, and how information is being exfiltrated out from the target systems. The book then concludes on how to build multi-layer defenses to protect against cyber attacks. In other words, the book describes the problem and presents a solution. If you are new to targeted attacks or a seasoned professional who wants to sharpen his or her skills, then this book is for you."

      Christopher Elisan, Principal Malware Scientist, RSA -The Division of EMC

    • "Sood and Enbody have taken a systematic, step by step approach to break down a pretty complex topic into bite-sized chunks that are easily digestible. They cover everything from the basics and 'need to know' of targeted attacks to the more advanced insights into the world of exploit packs, attack techniques and more."

      Dhillon Andrew Kannabhiran, Founder/Chief Executive Officer, Hack In The Box

    • "Targeted Cyber Attacks is by far the perfect manual to dive into the dark borders of cybercrime. The book thoroughly describes the model and the mechanisms used by criminals to achieve the cyber attack to exfiltrate information or steal money. From a pen-tester’s perspective, the ethical hackers will certainly find the fundamental factors to prepare a better approach to conduct high level penetration testing. Aditya and Richard deliver the secrets used by cyber-criminals to get inside the most secured companies. I learned a lot from this stunning publication authored by a BlackHat Arsenal Jedi."

    Botnets and Cybercrime

    • Cybercrime at a Scale: A Practical Study of Deployments of HTTP-Based Botnet Command and Control Panels
      Cybercriminals deploy botnets for conducting nefarious operations on the Internet. Botnets are managed on a large scale and harness the power of compromised machines, which are controlled through centralized portals known as C&C panels. C&C panels are considered as attackers primary operating environment through which bots are controlled and updated at regular intervals of time. C&C panels also store information stolen from the compromised machines as a part of the data exfiltration activity. In this empirical study, we analyzed many over 9000 C&C web URLs to better understand the deployment and the operational characteristics of HTTP-based botnets.

    • The Taxonomy of Domain Generation Algorithms
      Domain-generation algorithms (DGAs) allow attackers to manage infection-spreading websites and command-and-control (C&C) deployments by altering domain names on a timely basis. DGAs have made the infection and C&C architecture more robust and supportive for attackers.

OSNs have revolutionized the human experience, but they have also created a platform for attackers to distribute infections and conduct cybercrime. An OSN provides an opportunistic attack platform for cybercriminals through which they can spread infections at a large scale.

      Cybercrime’s tentacles reach deeply into the Internet. A complete, underground criminal economy has developed that lets malicious actors steal money through the Web. The authors detail this enterprise, showing how information, expertise, and money flow through it. Understanding the underground economy’s structure is critical for fighting it.

    • The Conundrum of Declarative Security: HTTP Response Headers: Lessons Learned
      The stringency of attacks has grown simultaneously with the development of the web. To combat some of the new attacks, declarative security has been proposed in the form of HTTP response headers from the server side. The declarative model provides an extensible set of security parameters in form of HTTP responses. In this, browsers can respond with a requested security mechanism. This paper explores the state of HTTP declarative security and how it is being applied today.

    • Exploiting Fundamental Weaknesses in Botnet C&C Panels
      Bot herders deploy Command and Control (C&C) panels for commanding and collecting exfiltrated data from the infected hosts on the Internet. To protect C&C panels, bot herders deploy several built-in (software-centric) protection mechanisms to restrict direct access to these C&C panels. However, there exist fundamental mistakes in the design and deployment of these C&C panels that can be exploited to take complete control. This talk discusses about the methodology of launching reverse attacks on the centralized C&C panels to derive intelligence that can be used to build automated solutions. This research reveals how to detect vulnerabilities and configuration flaws in the remote C&C panels and exploit them by following the path of penetration testing. This talk is derived from the real time research in which several C&C panels were targeted and intelligence was gathered to attack the next set of C&C panels. A number of case studies will be discussed to elaborate step-by-step process of attacking and compromising C&C panels. This talk also demonstrates the use of automated tools authored for making the testing easier for the researchers.

    • Melee - A Tool to Detect Infections in MySQL Instances: Attackers are abusing MySQL instances for conducting nefarious operations on the Internet. The cybercriminals are targeting exposed MySQL instances and triggering infections at scale to exfiltrate data, destruct data, and extort money via ransom. For example one of the significant threats MySQL deployments face is ransomware. We have authored a tool named "MELEE" to detect potential infections in MySQL instances. The tool allows security researchers, penetration testers, and threat intelligence experts to detect compromised and infected MySQL instances running malicious code. The tool also enables you to conduct efficient research in the field of malware targeting cloud databases.

    • Sparty - Sharepoint Web Application Penetration Testing Tool: Sparty is an open source tool written in python to audit web applications using sharepoint and frontpage architecture. The motivation behind this tool is to provide an easy and robust way to scrutinize the security configurations of sharepoint and frontpage based web applications. Due to the complex nature of these web administration software, it is required to have a simple and efficient tool that gathers information, check access permissions, dump critical information from default files and perform automated exploitation if security risks are identified. A number of automated scanners fall short of this and Sparty is a solution to that.

WebX client is hosted on the embedded web server which is shipped as a part of complete ClearSCADA architecture. Primarily, the WebX client is restricted to perform any configuration changes but it can reveal potential information about the ClearSCADA server and associated components. Insecure deployments of WebX client can reveal potential information about the various functions such as alarm pages, SQL lists, and diagnostic checks including various reports.
