Baited Canaries - Monitoring Attackers with Active Beacons

Baited Canaries - Monitoring Attackers with Active Beacons

Explore innovative cybersecurity techniques in this 20-minute LASCON conference talk on monitoring attackers using active beacons. Learn how to combine document viewing environments with canary tokens to create 'baited' canaries that function as both trip-wires and call back beacons. Discover how this approach enables the detection of potential attacks against users before they occur, providing valuable information directly from attackers and their victims. Gain insights into this unique method of proactive threat detection and understand its implications for enhancing overall security posture.
