    S4 Ep14: I, Malware
    2026/10/29
    What happens when malware starts asking AI what it should do next? This episode examines an autonomous AI-assisted command-and-control implant that queries multiple large language models, lets them vote on the next action, and then executes familiar techniques such as credential theft, persistence, process injection, and telemetry impairment. We separate the reality from the hype around AI-driven attacks, identify the behaviors hunters can still see, and then turn to the 2026 SANS Threat Hunting Survey to discuss stealth, living-off-the-land activity, cloud hunting, data quality, AI adoption, and where threat hunting programs are actually heading. ---------- Stay in Touch!

    Having the telemetry is one thing. Knowing what to do with it is another. This episode starts with Tortoiseshell's use of reverse SSH tunneling, masquerading, and familiar infrastructure tricks to maintain access, then turns to a broader problem facing defenders: organizations are logging more attacker activity than ever while still struggling to turn that visibility into meaningful alerts. We break down the gap between collection and detection, why familiar techniques can still slip through mature security stacks, and why threat hunting remains critical after an attacker gets past the front door. ---------- Stay in Touch!

    S4 Ep12: Dude, Where's My Alert?
    2026/10/15
    A fake recruiter, a coding challenge, and a Node.js payload walk into a development environment. This week, we break down Mirage Kitten's NodeRabbit and PoleCat malware families, including Trojanized coding challenges, cross-platform persistence, proxy-aware command and control, malicious VS Code extensions, Git hooks, WSL abuse, and JavaScript execution. We also look at the return of exploit-kit style activity and why familiar technologies such as Node.js, JavaScript, curl, scheduled tasks, and legitimate developer tooling continue to give threat actors plenty of room to operate. ---------- Stay in Touch!

    S4 Ep11: Of Mice and RATs
    2026/10/08
    This week, we dig into a packed threat landscape starting with Silk Parasite and its sprawling ecosystem of modular RATs, DLL sideloading, Google Drive C2, and techniques designed to make familiar attacker behaviors harder to spot. We also explore how AI recommendation poisoning can quietly influence model memory and decision-making, before looking at a Rust supply-chain compromise where simply building a poisoned dependency could be enough to trigger execution. From modular malware to AI trust and developer ecosystems, the common thread is attackers finding new ways to hide inside tools and workflows we already trust. ---------- Stay in Touch!

    S4 Ep10: [LIVE] Know Thy Environment: Putting Your Data to Work
    2026/07/30

    Most threat hunters have more data than they know what to do with. The problem isn't access. It's understanding: what your fields actually mean, what normal really looks like, and where your visibility quietly runs out before a hunt even gets started.

    This session picks up from our last conversation on environmental context and gets into the work that makes data usable. You don't need to have caught the first episode to follow along.

    What we'll cover:

    • Building data dictionaries that preserve knowledge and help hunters move faster
    • Mapping telemetry fields to the entities and behaviors that matter during a hunt
    • Baselining normal behavior without creating blind spots
    • Working through noisy data, inconsistent logging, and visibility gaps
    • Communicating coverage and gaps in a way that resonates with leadership

  • S4 Ep7: Threat Report - Q2 2026

    S4 Ep7: Threat Report - Q2 2026
    2026/07/09

    In this episode of Out of the Woods, Scott Poley and Tom Kostura review key findings from the Q2 2026 Threat Hunt Report and discuss what stood out across the quarter. They cover supply chain compromises, growing abuse of Node.js and Bun runtimes, a surge in credential harvesting following the Florida Bleed campaign, and a shrinking window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation tied to the MS Nightmare vulnerabilities.

    The episode also touches on recent threat profiles, including the Iranian-linked actor Cavern Manticore and a fast-moving intrusion that went from an SEO-poisoned download to full ransomware encryption in under 48 hours, with a focus on what these patterns mean for threat hunters and defenders.
