Week 2

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” – Sun Tzu

You will want to begin building your repository of information on LulzSec. You will make use of the two documents provided as well as information you go out and collect on your own.

Section 1 – Raw Known Data

For this portion of the lab, I want a list of all the data you collected during your work, this is known internal and external information.

Section 1.5 – Identify Strategic and Tactical Intelligence

For this portion of the lab, I want a breakdown of the known data into what is key strategic and tactical intelligence. You will combine this with Section 1 data using appropriate tags with your data. I.e. *TACTICAL* or *STRATEGIC*

Section 2 – Present the Pyramid of Pain

For this portion of the lab, you will lay out the pertinent intelligence collected into the appropriate layers of the Pyramid.

Section 3 – Present the Kill Chain

For this portion of the lab, I want you to build out a Kill Chain using the collected information. See the GLASS WIZARD Kill Chain example in your book.

Section 4 – Collate and Organize Your Intelligence into a Summary

For this portion of the lab, I want you to present a summary of the key intelligence that can be used by your organization to prepare for a theoretical upcoming attack from LulzSec.

Please remember to follow APA standards in your writings, in particular, ensure you are citing properly. Your final deliverable will most likely be about 10-12 pages in length, with a large chunk being Sections 1 and 4. Make sure you give yourself enough time to gather and process the information.
