Establishes a repeatable, structured operational process for managing Microsoft Patch Tuesday security updates. The workflow guides users through advisory review, vulnerability triaging (including zero-days), phased testing, and deployment across major platforms (Windows, Azure, Office). Ideal for maturing patch management programs and defining risk-based remediation SLAs.

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 skill guides the advanced configuration of Windows Event Logging using Group Policy Objects (GPO) and advanced audit policies. It enables high-fidelity logging for critical security events, including process creation (Event 4688), logon/logoff activities, and object access. The process covers optimizing log sizes and implementing Windows Event Forwarding (WEF) to centralize data into SIEM platforms for effective threat detection and forensic investigation.

This skill provides comprehensive detection methods for credential dumping techniques, a critical post-exploitation phase in cyber attacks. It targets the extraction of sensitive credentials from LSASS memory, SAM registry hives, and NTDS.dit using advanced security visibility. Detection relies on analyzing Sysmon Event ID 10 (ProcessAccess), Windows Security logs, and complex SIEM correlation rules, making it essential for SOC analysts and threat hunters investigating advanced persistent threats (APTs).

This comprehensive guide details the methodology for detecting Process Hollowing (MITRE T1055.012), a critical defense evasion technique used by fileless malware. It involves analyzing memory-mapped sections, correlating EDR telemetry (Sysmon, ETW), and identifying memory mismatches between the running process and its on-disk binary image. Use this skill when investigating sophisticated, in-memory threats that masquerade as legitimate system processes.

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.

Executes authorized, advanced attack simulations against Active Directory environments to identify critical misconfigurations, weak credentials, and exploitable trust relationships. Utilizing industry tools like BloodHound, Mimikatz, and Impacket, this process simulates complex attacks such as Kerberoasting, Golden Ticket forging, and domain compromise path analysis, helping organizations validate their security posture against real-world threats.

This tool leverages the Rekall memory forensics framework to conduct deep analysis of memory dumps. It is designed to detect sophisticated threats such as process hollowing, injected code via VAD anomalies, hidden operating system processes, and rootkit presence. It applies key forensic plugins (pslist, malfind, vadinfo) essential for rigorous incident response and malware analysis.

This advanced skill guides users on hunting for Living Off the Land Binaries (LOLBins) abuse by analyzing endpoint process creation logs. It focuses on detecting malicious use of legitimate Windows binaries (like certutil or mshta) for defense evasion or data exfiltration, mapping techniques to MITRE T1218. Ideal for threat hunters and security teams building advanced detection rules.

This guide provides a structured methodology for hypothesis-driven threat hunting focused on detecting web shell deployment (T1505.003) on internet-facing servers. It analyzes file creation in web directories, suspicious child-process generation from web server processes, and anomalous HTTP request patterns. Use this during incident response, proactive security assessments, or when EDR/SIEM alerts indicate web server process anomalies.

A Python-powered engine implementing structured OT incident response procedures based on the SANS PICERL lifecycle. It classifies incident severity (safety, process, access, recon) and coordinates cross-functional teams (IT SOC, OT Engineering, Operations) to manage critical threats like ransomware in ICS/SCADA environments. Essential for establishing robust safety protocols and ensuring compliance with IEC 62443 and NERC CIP standards.

This guide focuses on developing multi-event correlation rules using Splunk SPL and Sigma format. It teaches how to detect Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) and lateral movement by chaining multiple Windows authentication, process execution, and network connection events across hosts within specified time windows. Use this to surface complex, multi-stage attack sequences that single-event detection rules typically miss.
