This skill guides comprehensive Active Directory (AD) security assessment using industry-standard tools like PingCastle, BloodHound, and Purple Knight. It helps identify critical misconfigurations, excessive privileges, weak Kerberos settings, and potential lateral movement paths. Ideal for penetration testing, security audits, and incident response to proactively secure enterprise identity management systems.

A comprehensive guide to detecting and mitigating advanced Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing attacks, which bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) using reverse proxies (e.g., Evilginx, EvilProxy). Learn defensive strategies including implementing FIDO2, configuring Conditional Access policies, and monitoring session hijacking indicators in SIEM/Web Proxies.

This guide provides a systematic, step-by-step workflow for Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts to perform alert triage using Elastic Security SIEM. It covers initial alert assessment, context gathering using advanced ES|QL queries, threat intelligence enrichment, and final classification decisions (True Positive, False Positive, etc.) to rapidly determine genuine security threats and prioritize incident response actions.

This guide details how to simulate ARP spoofing attacks in controlled, authorized lab environments. It demonstrates Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) risks by poisoning the ARP cache, allowing users to test network detection capabilities (IDS/IPS, DAI) and validate the effectiveness of security controls like port security and 802.1X. This skill is strictly for authorized penetration testing and educational purposes.

This guide details how to use OpenVAS/Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM) to perform authenticated vulnerability scans. By utilizing valid credentials (SSH for Linux, SMB for Windows), scans can log into target systems, detecting deep local vulnerabilities, missing patches, and misconfigurations far beyond what unauthenticated scans can find. This is essential for comprehensive security assessments and compliance auditing.

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.

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.

This comprehensive guide details the methodology for detecting and exploiting Blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities. It covers crucial techniques including out-of-band (OOB) detection, internal network enumeration (port scanning, IP scanning), accessing cloud metadata endpoints (AWS, GCP, Azure), and bypassing common security filters using various encoding and parsing confusion methods. Ideal for penetration testing and cloud security assessments.

This comprehensive guide outlines a structured workflow for conducting digital forensics investigations across major cloud providers, including AWS, Azure, and GCP. It covers critical steps such as evidence preservation (snapshots, metadata capture), systematic log collection (CloudTrail, Activity Logs, Audit Logs, VPC Flow Logs), and advanced analysis techniques to trace unauthorized accesses and identify root causes of security breaches.

A comprehensive guide to executing cloud-native incident containment procedures across major platforms including AWS, Azure, and GCP. Learn how to systematically isolate compromised resources, revoke malicious credentials, apply network restrictions (Security Groups/ACLs), and capture forensic evidence to prevent lateral movement during a security event. Essential for security assessments and incident response.

This comprehensive guide outlines the phased rollout process for DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance). It details moving from monitoring (p=none) through quarantine (p=quarantine) to full rejection (p=reject). Adopting DMARC is critical for anti-spoofing, ensuring that only authorized senders can use your domain, thereby significantly reducing phishing and unauthorized email traffic.

A comprehensive guide for authorized penetration testing to map a target's entire DNS infrastructure. This skill covers advanced techniques including enumerating various DNS record types (A, MX, TXT, SRV), attempting zone transfers (AXFR/IXFR), brute-forcing subdomains, and analyzing security configurations (DNSSEC, SPF, DMARC). It is crucial for identifying the full external attack surface of a target organization.
