Histoire de la Cybersécurité Française – LIO dans la doctrine française (2007)

The article discusses the integration of Lutte Informatique Offensive (LIO) into French cybersecurity doctrine during the development of the LPM 2009-2014. Key outcomes include:
– Official recognition of cyberdefense in the 2008 Livre Blanc.
– Establishment of an interagency group (DGSE, DGA, EMA, ANSSI).
– Increased investments in offensive cyber capabilities.

Key French Cybersecurity Commands & Tools

1. ANSSI Tools & Best Practices

• Secure Linux hardening:

  sudo apt install aide  File integrity checker
  sudo aideinit  Initialize AIDE database
  

• CLIP OS: ANSSI’s hardened Linux distro (GitHub).

2. Offensive Cyber (LIO-Inspired)

• Metasploit Framework (used for red-teaming):

  msfconsole
  use exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue
  set RHOSTS <target_IP>
  exploit
  

• Nmap for Recon:

  nmap -sS -A -T4 <target_IP>
  

3. Windows Cyberdefense (LPM Alignment)

• Enable Windows Defender ASR Rules:

  Set-MpPreference -AttackSurfaceReductionRules_Ids <rule_GUID> -AttackSurfaceReductionRules_Actions Enabled
  

• Log Analysis with PowerShell:

  Get-WinEvent -LogName Security | Where-Object {$_.ID -eq 4624}
  

4. DGSE Tradecraft

• Tails OS for opsec (French ties):

  sudo apt update && sudo apt install tails
  

• Tor Anonymization:

  sudo systemctl start tor
  

What Undercode Say

France’s LIO doctrine mirrors global trends in offensive cyber (e.g., NSA’s TAO). Key takeaways:
– Linux: Use `chkrootkit` for defense (sudo chkrootkit).
– Windows: Audit with `Sysmon` (Microsoft’s tool).
– Network: Block attacks via iptables:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP  Block SSH brute-forcing

– Forensics: Analyze memory dumps with Volatility:

volatility -f memory.dump windows.pslist

Prediction: Offensive cyber tools will decentralize, with more open-source equivalents (e.g., Cobalt Strike alternatives).

Expected Output:

• ANSSI’s CLIP OS GitHub
• Livre Blanc 2008 (French)
• Metasploit: `msfdb init` (initialize database)
• Volatility: `pip3 install volatility3`
