The “Threat Hunting Workshop 18: Hunting for Credential Access – Level 2” offers cybersecurity professionals an immersive, interactive experience centered on the detection and investigation of credential access attacks. This session, led by Lee Archinal of Intel 471, moves beyond theory, placing participants in the midst of authentic scenarios that mirror the complexities of real-world cyber threats.
Industry Context and Relevance
Credential access remains a pivotal phase in many cyber intrusions, often serving as the gateway for attackers to escalate privileges and move laterally within targeted environments. As organizations face increasingly sophisticated adversaries, the ability to proactively hunt for and disrupt credential theft has become a core competency for modern security teams. This workshop addresses these operational challenges head-on, equipping attendees with the frameworks and investigative techniques needed to stay ahead of evolving threats.
Workshop Structure and Learning Experience
Unlike traditional lectures, the session is structured as a hands-on, virtual workshop. Participants engage directly with real authentication artifacts, memory access patterns, and process behaviors, learning to identify the subtle indicators of credential theft. The format encourages active problem-solving, with guidance from an experienced practitioner and access to supporting reference materials. Those who complete the final challenge are eligible to earn a digital badge, underscoring their newly sharpened investigative skills.
