Guides SSH service security assessments from discovery, enumeration, credential attacks and key testing to tunneling, vulnerability exploitation, and reporting deliverables.

Guides security pros through WordPress 7.0 attack surfaces covering discovery, enumeration, vulnerability scanning, credential checks, and exploitation with WPScan, Burp, Metasploit, and manual curl probes for authorized assessments.

Guides security testers through identifying, exploiting, and remediating insecure direct object references in web apps, with methods covering reconnaissance, request manipulation, Burp Suite automation, and reportable mitigation steps.

Guides authorized practitioners through Nmap, Masscan, Nessus, OpenVAS, Burp Suite, and OWASP ZAP for network discovery, vulnerability assessment, web application testing, wireless security, and compliance reporting across diverse environments.

Leverages Monte Carlo-based simulation to spot potential software vulnerabilities by feeding randomized inputs into modules, tracking failure likelihoods, and highlighting risky code paths for security testing.

This comprehensive guide details the professional process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities using the powerful sqlmap tool. It covers the entire workflow, from initial vulnerability identification and basic scanning to database enumeration, data dumping, advanced exploitation (like file reading and OS command execution), and WAF bypass techniques, ensuring thorough penetration testing reporting.

This skill implements comprehensive API security testing using the 42Crunch platform. It combines static analysis (API Audit) on OpenAPI definitions, dynamic vulnerability scanning (API Conformance Scan) against running APIs, and runtime threat protection. Ideal for integrating OWASP API Security Top 10 checks into CI/CD pipelines and IDEs, enabling 'shift-left' security practices.

This guide details the systematic workflow for patch management, covering the entire lifecycle from vulnerability discovery and risk assessment to controlled testing, multi-phased deployment, and final verification. Learn how to integrate tools like WSUS, SCCM, and Ansible into a robust, automated process to significantly reduce the attack surface and ensure compliance across enterprise IT infrastructure.

This guide details how to integrate Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools like CodeQL and Semgrep into your CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions. It covers setting up automated vulnerability detection on pull requests, tuning rules to minimize false positives, uploading SARIF results for centralized security reporting, and enforcing quality gates to prevent vulnerable code from merging into protected branches. Essential for DevSecOps and compliance (SOC 2, PCI DSS).

This guide details how to configure and execute deep, authenticated vulnerability scans using OpenVAS/Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM). By utilizing valid credentials (SSH, SMB, or ESXi), users can log into target systems to detect local vulnerabilities, missing security patches, and misconfigurations, which are typically missed by unauthenticated scans. Essential for professional security auditing and penetration testing.

This advanced technique utilizes AFL++, a powerful fork of American Fuzzy Lop, to perform coverage-guided fuzzing on compiled binaries. It instruments targets and systematically mutates input data to explore deep, previously unreached code paths. Ideal for comprehensive security assessments, vulnerability discovery, and rigorous binary compatibility testing, it helps uncover crashes, memory corruption bugs, and security flaws.

A specialized tool for authorized penetration testing and security assessments. It exploits the vulnerability of JWT libraries that accept tokens with the "alg": "none" header, bypassing cryptographic signature verification. Users can craft tokens with arbitrary claims (e.g., elevated privileges, impersonation) to validate that a target server correctly rejects unsigned JSON Web Tokens.
