Black Hat USA 2018: CQSysmonToolkit: Advanced System Monitoring Toolkit

Las Vegas is all about gambling, right? Wrong! CQURE CEO Paula Januszkiewicz went to Nevada’s brightest city to take part in the world’s leading information security event Black Hat USA 2018 where she delivered two training workshops and a session entitled CQSysmon Toolkit: Advanced System Monitoring Toolkit.

Paula Januszkiewicz ran 2 x training workshops on Hacking and Securing Windows Infrastructure on August 4-5 & 6-7. In these super-practical hands-on sessions, she covered the critical tasks for designing and implementing secure infrastructures and taking a look at vulnerability verification, and securing techniques.

Info about the CQSysmon Toolkit session

Our toolkit has proven to be useful in the 25000 computers environment! It relies on a free Sysmon deployment and its goal is to boost information delivered by the original tool. CQSysmon Toolkit allows you to extract information about what processes have been running in the operating system, get their hashes and submit them into Virus Total for the forensic information about the malware cases. It also allows to extract information into spreadsheet about what types of network connections have been made: what is the destination IP address, which process was responsible for it and who is the owner of IP. The toolkit also allows to extract information about the current system configuration and compare it with the other servers and much more that allows to become familiar of what is going on in your operating system. There is a special bonus tool in a toolkit that allows to bypass some parts of the Sysmon with another tool that allows to spot that situation so that everything stays in control. CQSysmon Toolkit allows you to established detailed monitoring of the situation on your servers and it is a great complement to the existing forensic tools in your organization.
