ACCESS GRANTED
Identity confirmed. You're cleared for Operation Sundown.
Join us for an exclusive evening with the UK's leading cyber security professionals. Drinks, connections, and celebration.
A software flaw that has been discovered by an attacker but not yet disclosed to or patched by the vendor. There are no existing signatures or defences. The attacker has had it for exactly how many days of notice?

ZERO-DAY
APT
EXPLOIT KIT
CLUE 02 // OSINT INTELLIGENCE
🌐
Hidden Infrastructure
This overlay network sits within the deep web, requires anonymising software such as Tor to access, and uses .onion domains. Threat actors use it to trade stolen credentials, ransomware-as-a-service toolkits, and initial access. Security teams monitor it for data breach exposure. What is it?
DEEP WEB
TOR NETWORK
SHADOW IT
DARK WEB
CLUE 03 // NETWORK INTELLIGENCE
📡
Infrastructure Basics
TCP/IP, DNS, BGP, and TLS all exist to secure and route traffic across one thing. It is the attack surface that every cyber security professional is ultimately defending. Abbreviated in commands like "netstat", "nmap", and "netcat". Three letters. What is it?
