Skill UI

This skill provides a structured methodology and tools for investigating sophisticated supply chain attacks. It focuses on detecting trojanized software updates, compromised build pipelines, and hidden dependencies by performing deep binary comparison, code signing verification, and anomaly detection. Use it during incident response to map out intrusion vectors and assess the full scope of a security breach.

A comprehensive guide to deploying and configuring Suricata as a high-performance Intrusion Detection System (IDS) or Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). This skill covers setting up multi-threaded packet processing for high-throughput links, enabling protocol-aware inspection (HTTP, TLS, DNS, SMB), generating structured EVE JSON logs for SIEM ingestion, and integrating advanced signature and anomaly detection capabilities.

This tool detects critical anomalies in DNP3 communications used within SCADA and ICS environments. It employs deep packet inspection and machine learning to monitor for unauthorized control commands, protocol violations, firmware update attempts, and deviations from established network baselines. It is essential for securing critical infrastructure, such as energy grids and industrial control networks, and building robust anomaly-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).

Deploy Zeek for passive network analysis to generate structured logs (DNS, HTTP, etc.). This tool detects behavioral anomalies like DNS tunneling or beaconing, complementing traditional signature-based IDS tools. It is ideal for threat hunting and incident response, feeding rich protocol metadata into SIEM platforms.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on detecting network reconnaissance and port scanning activities using industry-standard IDS/IPS systems like Suricata and Snort. It covers various scanning techniques (e.g., SYN, FIN, NULL, Xmas scans, UDP sweeps) and advanced detection methods, including signature matching, threshold-based alerting, and traffic anomaly analysis to identify tools like Nmap and Masscan.

A comprehensive tool for aggregating and displaying system metrics (counters, gauges, histograms) from the observability namespace. It computes baselines and flags anomalies by detecting deviations exceeding standard deviations, providing a clear snapshot of system health, error rates, and performance degradation trends.
