A (somewhat) complete timeline of Talos’ history
Summary: Cisco Talos marked its 10th anniversary by publishing a retrospective timeline of major events, cyber attacks, and research breakthroughs from its history, drawn from multiple interviews with Talos leaders. The piece notes that analysis of traffic between networked devices has been of interest since devices could communicate, and that tools like Snort and Wireshark advanced the field as networks grew more complex.
Bottom line: The retrospective flags malicious drivers as difficult to detect and notes that successfully leveraging one can give an attacker full access to a system - a reminder that the deepest footholds are the ones standard tooling was never built to surface.
