DomainTools Malware, Recon, and BIC Villages Talks – DEF CON 33 Sessions

Date: Tuesday September 30th

Time: 10:00AM PT/1:00PM ET

Topics:

• 10:00 – 10:30 AM PDT – Malware in DNS
• 10:30 – 11:00 AM PDT – Pre-Identifying DNS Wildcards: A New Standard of Care
• 11:00 – 11:30 AM PDT – DNS Scavenger Hunt

Our DomainTools Investigations team took the stage at DEF CON 33 with three talks. For those not in attendance, we would like to share those three sessions with you during this 1.5 hour webinar where we discuss malware in DNS, pre-identifying DNS wildcards, and an interactive end to the sessions with a DNS scavenger hunt. 

Malware in DNS

Come see how attackers exploit DNS TXT records to hide malicious code and establish covert communication channels. The presentation, led by Ian Campbell and Malachi Walker, will provide real-world examples and actionable insights for defenders to monitor these records and leverage security solutions to combat this threat. 

Pre-Identifying DNS Wildcards: A New Standard of Care

See how wildcards affect subdomain enumeration and attack surface management. Daniel Schwalbe will discuss the DomainTools winning entry to the DEF CON 31 Recon-Aacharva subdomain challenge, and share a follow-up with new techniques that yielded more than 100 times the raw subdomains found in passive DNS. 

DNS Scavenger Hunt
Be ready to break out that command line and search for clues, domains, subdomains, and records. One lucky/skillful winner will go home with Second Edition Airpod Pros! Those who don’t have experience working out of a command line are still encouraged to join and learn more, as we will work through each step of the hunt after enough time has passed.

Please join us on Tuesday, September 30 to experience what took stage in Vegas this year at the Malware, Recon and BIC villages.
