This guide details the methodology for conducting internal network penetration tests, simulating an attacker operating from an assumed breach state. It covers initial network reconnaissance, Active Directory enumeration, advanced credential harvesting techniques (e.g., Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash), and lateral movement exploitation to determine the full blast radius of a potential breach. Essential for comprehensive security auditing.

This guide details the robust process of implementing VLAN-based (802.1Q) network segmentation on managed switches. It is crucial for isolating critical zones—such as DMZ, servers, and IoT—to meet strict compliance standards (PCI-DSS, HIPAA) and significantly limiting the blast radius during a security incident by controlling lateral movement. Includes port hardening and ACL configuration.

This guide details the methodology and tools for conducting authorized privilege escalation assessments within AWS environments. It systematically utilizes specialized tools like Pacu and Principal Mapper (PMapper) to identify critical IAM misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and weak cross-account trust relationships. It is essential for validating the principle of least privilege and assessing the potential blast radius of compromised credentials during authorized penetration testing.

A comprehensive guide for authorized red-team assessments using the Pacu framework. This process details how to enumerate IAM policies, scan for privilege escalation paths, test data access across services (S3, DynamoDB), and simulate lateral movement to determine the blast radius of compromised AWS credentials.

This guide provides a deep dive into hardening AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) configurations. It teaches advanced security practices, including enforcing the principle of least privilege, defining granular policy scopes, implementing permission boundaries, and leveraging Access Analyzer to ensure continuous compliance and minimize the blast radius of security breaches.

A comprehensive guide to hardening AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) configurations. This skill enforces least-privilege access by utilizing IAM Access Analyzer, setting permission boundaries, scoping policies, and managing credential rotation. It is crucial for reducing the blast radius of compromised accounts and passing compliance audits (e.g., SOC 2, PCI-DSS).

A comprehensive set of reusable patterns for structured incident triage in AWS environments. Includes pre-built Logs Insights queries for detecting errors, latency spikes, cold starts, and OOM events. Also provides systematic correlation methods linking CloudWatch alarms to deployment events, and a decision tree to narrow the blast radius scope from account to resource.
