Researchers propose embedding subtle noise-like illumination patterns into video scenes to create temporal watermarks that help detect manipulated footage. This approach creates an information asymmetry favoring verification, making it difficult for adversaries to create convincing fake videos even when aware of the technique, with applications for protecting high-stakes public events and interviews.
A four-day hands-on cybersecurity course covers detection engineering, threat hunting, forensics, and incident response using tools like LimaCharlie, OpenSearch, Arkime, and Velociraptor against simulated enterprise attacks. Students investigate multiple attack chains, write detections in Sigma and YARA, hunt adversaries across endpoints and networks, and conduct a live incident response capstone in a range environment.
