SNL Tracer FIRE Event Spring 2023

What is Tracer FIRE

Sandia National Laboratories (https://www.sandia.gov) will be covering incident response, and having participants group up to work through a mock incident. This event mocks an actual compromised network and have participants investigate how the network was compromised, how adversaries moved around the network, and what was stolen from the network. Participants will work with disk images, memory dumps, and malicious binaries in order to understand and report on the incident.

Teams

The SNL Tracer FIRE event will be a team-based event. During the event you will work with up to 4 other people as an incident response team. If you need assistance in forming a team before the event, you may use the Discord for communications. It will serve as the pre-event hub for the Auburn campus. Otherwise, we can assist you with forming teams on the day of the event. Participants are encouraged to form teams early.
