How can you identify advanced persistent threats (APTs) using TCP header analysis?
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are stealthy and sophisticated cyberattacks that target specific organizations or individuals for a long period of time. APTs often use multiple techniques to evade detection and maintain persistence, such as encryption, obfuscation, proxy servers, and malware. One of the ways to identify APTs is to analyze the TCP headers of the network traffic, which contain information about the source and destination IP addresses, ports, flags, sequence and acknowledgment numbers, and options. By examining the TCP headers, you can spot anomalies, patterns, and signatures that indicate the presence of APTs.
