Skill UI

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.

Comprehensive patterns and best practices for deploying and managing microservices using the Linkerd service mesh on Kubernetes. Covers automatic mTLS, sophisticated traffic splitting for canary deployments, setting Service Profiles for enhanced resilience (retries/timeouts), and defining robust authorization policies.

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.

A specialized tool designed for incident responders and threat hunters. It extracts critical configuration data—such as C2 server addresses, malleable profiles, watermarks, and communication settings—from Cobalt Strike beacon payloads found in PE files or memory dumps. This analysis is crucial for mapping attacker infrastructure and improving defensive detection rules.

Comprehensive digital forensic analysis guide for Linux systems. It covers the collection and examination of critical artifacts such as authentication logs, shell histories, user configurations, system files (passwd, shadow), and persistence mechanisms to effectively detect security compromises, unauthorized access, and malicious activity.

A comprehensive guide for analyzing PCAP files captured during malware execution. It demonstrates advanced techniques using Wireshark, Zeek, Suricata, and Python (scapy) to identify Command and Control (C2) communications, data exfiltration channels, Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA), and periodic beaconing patterns. Essential for malware reverse engineering and network threat detection.

A comprehensive guide and set of detection rules for identifying OS credential dumping techniques (MITRE T1003). It leverages EDR telemetry, Sysmon process access monitoring, and Windows security event correlation to detect attacks targeting LSASS memory, SAM databases, and NTDS.dit files. Essential for proactive threat hunting and incident response.

This skill automates the hardening of Linux endpoints (Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS) by implementing industry-standard security best practices guided by CIS Benchmarks. It systematically secures various layers, including filesystem permissions, network parameters (sysctl), SSH configuration, user access controls (PAM), and integrates deep auditing using auditd and OpenSCAP. It is essential for achieving compliance with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

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.

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.

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.
