A comprehensive guide to deploying Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs). Covers advanced security techniques like App-ID for application awareness, User-ID for identity mapping, zone-based policy enforcement, SSL decryption, and robust threat prevention profiles. Essential for building enterprise-grade network security architectures.

Utilize Velociraptor, an advanced open-source platform, to collect, query, and monitor forensic artifacts across diverse endpoints (Windows, Linux, macOS). This skill enables incident response teams to perform large-scale, rapid digital forensic investigations by collecting critical data such as event logs, registry entries, prefetch files, and network metadata using VQL queries.

A comprehensive guide and workflow for digital forensic investigators to analyze ransomware artifacts. This process involves preserving volatile evidence (memory dumps), identifying the ransomware variant from file extensions and ransom notes, establishing the attack timeline using Prefetch and Event Logs, and extracting critical Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) such as Bitcoin addresses and Tor sites. Essential for incident response and recovery planning.

This tool performs comprehensive API inventory and discovery across an organization's environment. It identifies all API endpoints—including documented, undocumented, shadow, and deprecated APIs—by combining passive traffic analysis (HAR files), active scanning, DNS enumeration, and cloud resource auditing. It helps map the complete API attack surface, crucial for security assessments and compliance requirements like PCI-DSS and SOC2.

This guide details authenticated (credentialed) vulnerability scanning, which uses valid system credentials (SSH keys, domain passwords, etc.) to log into target hosts. Unlike external scanning, credentialed methods allow deep inspection of installed patches, local configurations, registry keys, and system files across diverse platforms (Linux, Windows, Network Devices). This significantly increases vulnerability detection rates and reduces false positives for comprehensive security assessments.

CAPE is an open-source sandbox built for automated malware analysis, derived from Cuckoo. It provides advanced behavioral monitoring, payload dumping, and configuration extraction using over 70 parsers for known malware families (e.g., Emotet, Cobalt Strike). It captures network IOCs, dropped files, and detects anti-evasion techniques, making it ideal for security assessments and incident response workflows via its robust API.

A comprehensive guide for analyzing firmware images from embedded systems, IoT devices, routers, and specialized components like UEFI/BIOS. This skill covers advanced techniques including filesystem extraction, binary reverse engineering (using Ghidra/IDA), rootkit detection, and deep forensic analysis to uncover backdoors, implants, and supply chain compromises. Essential for cybersecurity professionals investigating compromised hardware.

This guide details how to use GoPhish, an open-source framework, to conduct authorized phishing simulations. You will learn the complete lifecycle, from deploying the tool and configuring SMTP profiles, to creating realistic email templates and cloning secure landing pages. The skill culminates in analyzing campaign results to assess organizational security posture and improve employee resilience against social engineering attacks.

A comprehensive guide to performing digital forensics on SQLite databases. This skill covers recovering deleted records from freelists, analyzing Write-Ahead Log (WAL) files, and examining the internal B-tree structure to extract crucial evidence from sources like browser history and messaging apps. Essential for incident response and security auditing.

Leverage Eric Zimmerman's EZ Tools suite for comprehensive Windows forensic artifact analysis. This guide details how to parse critical system data, including the Master File Table (MFT), registry hives, prefetch files, and event logs. Essential for digital forensics investigators and incident responders conducting deep system analysis.

This skill teaches the comprehensive process of developing precise YARA rules for malware detection. It covers techniques such as identifying unique byte patterns, analyzing strings, and inspecting PE file headers to create robust signatures. Ideal for security analysts performing threat hunting, incident response, and security auditing.

This guide provides a comprehensive workflow for recovering deleted files from forensic disk images and storage media. Utilizing PhotoRec and file signature carving techniques, it addresses scenarios where file systems are corrupted, formatted, or metadata is unavailable. The process includes setup, running the recovery tool in both interactive and command-line modes, and advanced steps for organizing, hashing, and validating file integrity.
