INTRODUCTION

Welcome to our presentation on the Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis and its
relevance to cybersecurity. In today's world, cyber attacks are becoming
increasingly sophisticated, making it more important than ever to understand the
methods used by attackers. The Diamond Model provides a framework for analyzing
and responding to cyber attacks by breaking down the attack into four
components: Actor, Capability, Infrastructure, and Victim.

By understanding these components and how they relate to each other, we can
better understand the motivations and methods of attackers, and develop
effective strategies for mitigating and responding to attacks. This model is
essential for anyone involved in cybersecurity, from IT professionals to
business leaders.





DIAMOND MODEL OVERVIEW

The Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis is a framework that helps analysts
understand the different components of a cyber attack and how they relate to
each other. The model consists of four components: Actor, Capability,
Infrastructure, and Victim. By understanding these components, analysts can
better understand the motivations behind an attack and develop effective
response strategies.

The Actor component refers to the individual or group responsible for the
attack. This could be a hacker, a criminal organization, or even a nation-state.
The Capability component refers to the tools and resources that the attacker has
at their disposal, such as malware or social engineering tactics. The
Infrastructure component refers to the systems and networks that the attacker
uses to carry out the attack, such as botnets or compromised servers. Finally,
the Victim component refers to the target of the attack, which could be an
individual, organization, or even an entire country.





ACTOR: WHO IS THE ATTACKER?

In the world of cybersecurity, understanding the identity and motivations of the
attacker is crucial in analyzing and responding to cyber attacks. The first
component of the Diamond Model, Actor, refers to the individual or group behind
the attack. These actors can range from nation-state sponsored hackers to lone
individuals seeking personal gain.

For example, let's consider the OWASP Top 10 vulnerability of Injection. An
attacker with a high level of technical capability may use SQL injection to gain
access to sensitive data stored in a database. On the other hand, an attacker
with lower technical capability may use a tool like Havij to automate the
process of finding vulnerable websites. By identifying the actor behind the
attack, we can better understand their capabilities and motivations, which can
inform our response strategy.





CAPABILITY: WHAT ARE THE ATTACKER'S CAPABILITIES?

The Capability component of the Diamond Model focuses on what an attacker is
capable of doing. This includes their technical skills, knowledge, and
resources. For example, an attacker with advanced technical skills may be able
to exploit vulnerabilities that a less skilled attacker would not be able to.
Similarly, an attacker with access to specialized tools or resources may be able
to carry out more sophisticated attacks. Understanding an attacker's
capabilities is important for effective intrusion analysis because it can help
identify the level of sophistication of an attack and the potential impact it
may have.

One example of how different capabilities can be used to exploit vulnerabilities
is through the use of automated tools. Attackers with access to tools such as
vulnerability scanners or password cracking software can quickly identify and
exploit weaknesses in a target's system. Additionally, attackers with knowledge
of social engineering techniques may be able to trick users into divulging
sensitive information or granting access to restricted systems. By understanding
an attacker's capabilities, defenders can better prepare for and respond to
attacks.





INFRASTRUCTURE: WHAT TOOLS AND RESOURCES DOES THE ATTACKER HAVE?

Infrastructure refers to the tools and resources that attackers use to carry out
their attacks. This includes everything from malware and exploit kits to command
and control servers and botnets.

For example, an attacker may use a phishing email to deliver a malware payload
to a victim's computer. The malware may then connect back to a command and
control server controlled by the attacker, allowing them to remotely control the
victim's computer and steal sensitive information. Alternatively, an attacker
may use a botnet to launch a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against
a target website, overwhelming it with traffic and causing it to crash.





VICTIM: WHO IS THE TARGET?

In the Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis, the Victim component refers to the
entity or entities that are being targeted by an attacker. Victims can vary
widely depending on the motives and goals of the attacker. For example, a hacker
seeking financial gain may target a bank or other financial institution, while a
hacktivist group may target a government agency or corporation for political
reasons.

The OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities provide a useful framework for understanding
how different types of victims may be targeted by attackers. For instance, SQL
injection attacks can be used to target victims whose websites or applications
use vulnerable database systems. Similarly, cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
can be used to target victims whose websites or applications allow user input
without proper validation. By understanding the different ways in which
attackers can exploit vulnerabilities to target specific victims, organizations
can better protect themselves from cyber attacks.





ACTOR AND CAPABILITY: EXPLOITING VULNERABILITIES

In the world of cybersecurity, actors and their capabilities play a crucial role
in exploiting vulnerabilities. An actor can be anyone from an individual hacker
to a state-sponsored group, and their capabilities can range from basic hacking
skills to advanced techniques like zero-day exploits. By understanding the Actor
and Capability components of the Diamond Model, we can better analyze and
respond to cyber attacks.

For example, let's consider the OWASP Top 10 vulnerability 'Injection'. An
attacker with the capability to craft SQL injection queries can exploit this
vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. On the other hand,
an attacker with the capability to use cross-site scripting (XSS) can exploit
another vulnerability in the OWASP Top 10 list, 'Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)', to
execute malicious scripts on a victim's browser. By understanding the different
capabilities of attackers, we can better anticipate and defend against their
tactics.
