Talk:Hacked by Raspberia: Simulating a nationally disruptive attack by a non-existent state actor
Adversary Story

Suppose you need to create a scenario for a national cyber crisis exercise with hundred participating organizations. It has to be an attack with a disruptive national impact BUT cannot be an existing APT group. The solution: creating a realistic threat actor and their simulated attack - entirely from scratch. Creating such an adversary simulation is not an easy task. How do you simulate a zero-day attack on the networks of all participating companies, create a fictive country, define TTPs for the non-existent adversary, reflect all defined TTPs in the attack, and allow attribution? This talk includes a detailed description of the attack chain created and how more than two thousand participants broke their heads over finding the attack path in supplied injects, like event logs, memory dumps, and custom malware.
