- **Event Description**: Security headlines and a presentation about threat huntingAbout this EventSecurity HeadlinesWe will review and discuss recent security headlines followed by a presentation titled...Hunting Smarter, Not Harder: Building Threat Hunting Pipelines with Python (featuring ESXi Hunting) by Jay HoneycuttVirtualization platforms remain one of the least monitored layers in modern enterprise environments, making VMware ESXi a high‑value target for advanced adversaries. In this talk, Hunting Smarter, Not Harder, we explore how attackers abuse ESXi hypervisors through malicious VIBs, covert persistence mechanisms, and hidden virtual machines—often without triggering traditional EDR or NDR controls. Attendees will be guided through a practical, Python‑driven threat‑hunting pipeline designed specifically for ESXi. The session covers targeted telemetry collection, data normalization, and the use of machine‑learning autoencoders to distinguish normal hypervisor behavior from anomalies. By training models on known‑clean ESXi artifacts, defenders can rapidly surface suspicious logs and components that warrant deeper investigation. This presentation is geared toward detection engineers, threat hunters, and security practitioners looking to close visibility gaps in virtualized environments and move from reactive monitoring to proactive, repeatable hypervisor hunting.Jay is a Threat Hunter for a retail organization with 30 years of combined experience across military and commercial cybersecurity operations. After serving 28 years in the U.S. Army as a Cyber Warfare Technician, he now focuses on identifying security gaps and closing them through custom tooling, automation, and deep analysis. He is passionate about problem-solving and knowledge sharing, he brings an approachable, hands-on perspective to modern threat hunting.About ArkanSecEveryone is welcome.
