This talk reframes modern endpoint compromise as a series of r epeatable strategies drawn from a well-understood playbook. Despite the ap parent complexity of malware\, ransomware\, and post-exploitation framewor ks\, most attacks rely on a small set of foundational techniques: gaining code execution\, evading controls through in-memory and "living off the la nd" methods\, and chaining these primitives to achieve persistence and imp act.\n\nThrough a structured breakdown of these core "moves\," this sessio n deconstructs real-world attack patterns and shows how attackers consiste ntly succeedā€”now increasingly accelerated by AI-assisted tooling. By under standing the strategy guide attackers implicitly follow\, defenders can st op reacting to individual threats and instead target the underlying mechan ics that make compromise possible.\n\nThe session provides concrete defens ive approaches\, including deny-by-default and application control strateg ies\, that materially limit attacker options at the endpoint. The goal is simple: if you understand the rules of the game\, you can start to change them\n\nšŸ“ Flinders Festival Plaza campus (Room TBA)\nA big thank you to * *Flinders University** for partnering with SecTalks for this month's meetu p\, and for the venue for this month's meetup.
