Naming Adversaries and Why It Matters to Your Security Team
What is it with these funny adversary names such as FANCY BEAR, WIZARD SPIDER and DEADEYE JACKAL? You read about them in the media and see them on CrowdStrike T-shirts and referenced by MITRE in the ATT&CK framework. Why are they so important to cyber defenders? How is an adversary born? You may think you have a problem with ransomware, bots or distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks but you would be wrong. Because humans are behind every cyberattack, what you really have is an adversary problem.

How Defenders Can Hunt for Malicious JScript Executions: A Perspective from OverWatch Elite
An adversary’s ability to live off the land — relying on the operating system’s built-in tooling and user-installed legitimate software rather than tooling that must be brought in — may allow them to navigate through a victim organization’s network relatively undetected. CrowdStrike Falcon OverWatch™ threat hunters are acutely aware of adversaries’ love of these living off the land binaries (LOLBins) and build their hunts accordingly.
Hunting a Global Telecommunications Threat: DecisiveArchitect and Its Custom Implant JustForFun
The security landscape is constantly developing to provide easier ways to establish endpoint visibility across networks through the use of endpoint detection and response (EDR) utilities. However, certain challenges still remain, particularly as a result of many organizations' need for systems running legacy or proprietary operating systems, such as Solaris. If such systems are not adequately protected using other security controls or unless they can only be accessed by systems with appropriate endpoint-based detection/prevention capabilities, this can cause a gap in visibility for an organization that an adversary could abuse.
