2024 Trend Watch: Insights from the INE Community

The INE LinkedIn community provides insights into what organizations leading IT and Cyber teams are facing in 2024. We asked the following question:

Key Takeaways

• Phishing is the most common social engineering attack, and cyber professionals are looking for more training on how to thwart and protect against these attacks. According to a report from Proofpoint “2024 State of the Phish”, TOAD (Callback Phishing) and MFA-Bypass are on the rise. A staggering 73% of organizations reported a BEC attack in 2023.?
• Security awareness training is the first line of defense against phishing. Cybersecurity professionals can still use Red and Blue team strategies to test for weaknesses in an organization's security posture and prepare for defense, mitigation, and recovery.

Train and certify with INE to stay ahead of attacks and strengthen your professional skills.

CTF Arena: Round 7 | The Enigmatic Binary

Binary Executable | Intermediate | 14 Days

The Enigmatic Binary

Your mission is to uncover the hidden flag within the binary executable. The journey will require a blend of analytical thinking, technical acumen, and a keen eye for detail. As you delve into the binary, you'll encounter a series of obstacles designed to thwart your progress. Overcoming these obstacles will necessitate a thorough understanding of reverse engineering principles and a creative approach to problem-solving.

About Challenge:

In this CTF challenge, participants are tasked with uncovering four hidden flags within a binary executable provided. Using a combination of debugging and reverse engineering techniques, participants must dissect the binary and overcome various obstacles designed to obscure the flags. The challenge tests one's ability to analyze binary code, manipulate memory, and understand low-level operations to successfully retrieve each flag. The binary's behaviors and internal mechanisms require careful examination and creative problem-solving to fully unravel the embedded secrets. This challenge showcases the importance of using popular reverse engineering tools and methodologies in cybersecurity.
