Speaker Information: 

As an incident responder, Dan O'Day, often learns new things about how Windows works from malware authors. He will share how threat actors are leveraging the Windows Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) for persistence and privilege escalation. Dan will present a proof-of-concept method demonstrating how this could be abused further, and he'll show what you’d expect to see from analysis of system artifacts left behind. Dan will share what he's learned in his experience and research in a way that benefits both blue and red team members. This will be a beginner-friendly talk that has stuff for advanced folks too.
