Skill UI

Master the complete penetration testing lifecycle, covering all five stages from reconnaissance and scanning to vulnerability analysis using OWASP standards, and advanced exploitation techniques with tools like Metasploit. This skill provides a structured framework for conducting authorized, professional security assessments.

A comprehensive guide detailing the entire workflow for analyzing embedded firmware. It covers hardware-level extraction methods (UART, JTAG, SPI dump), filesystem analysis (SquashFS, JFFS2), binary reverse engineering using tools like Ghidra, and identifying common vulnerabilities (Buffer Overflow, Command Injection). Ideal for security researchers and embedded systems engineers.

A comprehensive guide detailing how to implement declarative, Git-based continuous delivery for Kubernetes. It covers setup using industry-leading tools like ArgoCD and Flux CD, adhering to OpenGitOps principles for automated, reliable, and traceable application deployments and infrastructure management.

A comprehensive guide for deploying complex integrations to production cloud environments (GCP, Kubernetes). This skill covers best practices including creating multi-stage Dockerfiles, implementing robust health and readiness checks, and utilizing cloud tools like gcloud and kubectl for seamless, secure deployment with secret management.

This comprehensive guide details advanced forensic techniques for detecting and analyzing sophisticated malware that operates at the system's deepest levels, such as the Master Boot Record (MBR), Volume Boot Record (VBR), and UEFI firmware. It covers boot sector disassembly, UEFI module inspection, and memory forensics (SSDT/DKOM). Use this when standard security tools fail or when investigating nation-state level compromises.

This guide details the process of performing static analysis on potentially malicious PDF documents. It utilizes advanced tools like peepdf, pdfid, and pdf-parser to extract embedded JavaScript, shellcode, and suspicious objects. Use this method when triaging suspicious attachments from phishing emails or conducting deep forensic examination of weaponized document artifacts to generate actionable Indicators of Compromise (IOCs).

This guide details advanced digital forensics techniques for recovering deleted file metadata and content from NTFS volumes. It focuses on analyzing the Master File Table (MFT), USN Journals, and $LogFile transaction records. Techniques include parsing MFT slack space and utilizing specialized tools like MFTECmd to reconstruct file system timelines and identify deleted evidence remnants.

This guide provides a comprehensive methodology for conducting cloud security audits across major platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) using industry-standard CIS Benchmarks. It covers selecting appropriate benchmark versions, running automated assessments using tools like Prowler and ScoutSuite, interpreting complex compliance results, and prioritizing systematic remediation steps to achieve and maintain continuous compliance (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).

This skill provides comprehensive methods for collecting and synthesizing Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) regarding threat actors, malicious infrastructure, and attack campaigns. It utilizes public data sources, passive reconnaissance tools (like WHOIS, Certificate Transparency), and specialized platforms (Maltego, Shodan, SpiderFoot) to map adversary context and perform pre-engagement intelligence gathering for authorized red team assessments. Emphasis is placed on passive collection techniques to ensure legality and operational security.

A comprehensive guide to simulating Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks using industry-standard tools like Bettercap, Ettercap, and mitmproxy. This technique is strictly for authorized penetration testing environments to assess cryptographic controls, validate TLS certificate pinning, and test network defense mechanisms against ARP/DNS spoofing and sniffing.

A comprehensive framework for assessing network security posture. This skill guides the tester through the entire penetration testing lifecycle, from reconnaissance and host discovery (using tools like Nmap) to service enumeration, vulnerability identification (CVEs), and controlled exploitation (Metasploit). It is essential for validating firewall rules, ensuring compliance (e.g., PCI-DSS), and stress-testing critical infrastructure security.

This guide details the process of configuring microsegmentation policies to enforce least-privilege access between workloads. It covers the entire workflow, from application dependency mapping and discovery (Phase 1) to defining label-based, default-deny security zones (Phase 2). It is crucial for preventing lateral movement in highly secure, zero-trust architectures using tools like VMware NSX, Illumio, and Calico.
