Emulating APT41: A Two-Hour Hands-On Workshop

Overview

APT41 is one of the most prolific and versatile threat actors in the landscape, blending state-sponsored espionage with financially motivated operations across technology, healthcare, telecommunications, and gaming sectors. In this two-hour workshop, we'll get under the hood of how APT41 operates and put those techniques to work in a live emulation environment.

We'll cover the group's hallmark behaviors including supply chain compromise, abuse of trusted binaries, credential access, and lateral movement, walking through how these techniques chain together in a real campaign and where defenders have opportunities to intervene.What you will walk away with:

🦄 A working understanding of APT41's TTPs and operational style.

🦄 Hands-on experience emulating APT41 techniques in a structured environment.

🦄 Insight into how a dual-mission threat actor balances espionage and financial objectives.

🦄 Reusable campaign building blocks you can take back to your own purple team program.
