I absolutely love giving presentations! I love to run my mouth, so being able to do so in front of like-minded individuals is a passion of mine. I’ve started to lose track of the various presentations I’ve given, so I made this page to catalogue my work and provide resources should anyone be interested in reviewing the content.

Oh You Silly Framework!: An Intro to Analyzing .NET Malware – SANS@Mic Sydney
Nov 4, 2020, SANS Sydney 2020 @Mic Webcast
Malware written using Microsoft’s (MS’s) .NET Framework operates differently from your standard compiled Portable Executable (PE). The framework, often pronounced “dot net,” provides modern, functional, and easy-to-use assemblies for creating current-generation software. Once the C Sharp (C#), Visual Basic (VB.NET) or other .NET language is compiled, the result is MS Intermediate Language (MSIL). Upon being executed, the MSIL-based PE uses a just-in-time (JIT) compiler to generate native code, which is what we see run when .NET software/malware executes. Wonderfully for both the malware hobbyist and reverse engineering guru alike, MSIL PEs are easily decompiled back to source code. In this talk, SANS Instructor Ryan Chapman will provide an overview of the .NET framework, discuss malware families known to depend upon the framework, and provide analysis methodologies and tools for ripping these samples apart with ease.

LOCKED OUT! Detecting, Preventing, & Reacting to Human Operated Ransomware
2020, SANS Webcast
Human Operated Ransomware (HORA) threat groups are growing in number and strength every day. In this Webcast, SANS Instructor Ryan Chapman will cover the evolution of, tactics inherent to, and threats associated with HORA. Ryan will provide “quick wins” that you can implement now to protect yourself against this ugly threat. Ryan will also focus on what to do if ransomware is running *right now*, along with what to do when ransomware has run and the outlook is bleak. Ryan will wrap up the Webcast with a list of digital forensics and incident response tools that work well within on-prem and cloud-based environments alike. Are you and your company prepared for this looming threat?
