Skill UI

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for detecting various privilege escalation techniques across Windows and Linux. It covers access token manipulation, UAC bypass, unquoted service path abuse, and kernel exploits. It is essential for threat hunting, scoping compromise during incident response, and validating detection coverage in proactive security assessments.

A comprehensive guide and workflow for threat hunting suspicious PowerShell activity (T1059.001). This technique focuses on detecting advanced adversary techniques such as encoded commands, AMSI bypass, and download cradles using telemetry from EDR platforms (CrowdStrike, MDE), SIEMs (Splunk, Elastic), and Sysmon. Essential for proactive threat detection, incident response, and security assessment.

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.

A proactive, hypothesis-driven skill designed to hunt for Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) within complex enterprise environments. It analyzes endpoint telemetry, network logs, and memory artifacts using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK. Use this skill when investigating anomalous behavior flagged by UEBA, conducting scheduled threat sprints, or validating exposure to known TTPs using tools like Velociraptor and osquery.

A comprehensive guide for security professionals to detect data exfiltration by analyzing network telemetry (Zeek, Suricata) and logs. Techniques include identifying DNS tunneling, unusual cloud uploads, and detecting large/abusive data flows across various channels during incident response and proactive threat hunting.

This guide details how to hunt for DCSync attacks (MITRE ATT&CK T1003.006) in Active Directory environments. It focuses on analyzing Windows Security Event ID 4662, specifically looking for DS-Replication-Get-Changes requests originating from non-domain-controller accounts. This technique is critical for incident response, purple teaming, and detecting unauthorized credential theft via Active Directory replication abuse.

This skill provides a structured methodology for threat hunting DNS-based persistence mechanisms. It detects unauthorized changes such as DNS hijacking, dangling CNAME records enabling subdomain takeover, wildcard DNS abuse, or unauthorized NS delegation modifications. By utilizing passive DNS history (e.g., SecurityTrails API) and auditing cloud DNS logs (Route53, Azure, Cloudflare), users can identify persistent attack vectors that survive traditional remediation efforts.

A comprehensive guide to identifying covert data exfiltration channels using Zeek logs. This technique analyzes DNS traffic for high-entropy subdomains, unusually long query lengths, abnormal record types (TXT/NULL), and excessive query volume, which are key indicators of malicious DNS tunneling or command-and-control (C2) activity.

This tool analyzes Windows Event Logs (ID 4688, Sysmon ID 1) and WMI-Activity Operational events to detect suspicious lateral movement. It specifically hunts for WmiPrvSE.exe spawning child processes (like cmd.exe or powershell.exe) or identifying WMI event subscriptions, which are common indicators of remote code execution and persistence.

A specialized technique for proactive threat hunting, designed to detect adversary activity that abuses legitimate cloud services (like Azure, AWS, GCP, and SaaS platforms). It focuses on identifying 'living off the cloud' tradecraft, such as using cloud APIs for command-and-control (C2), staging data, or exfiltrating information while blending into normal network traffic.

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 skill helps detect NTLM relay attacks (T1557.001) by analyzing Windows Security Event ID 4624 (logon type 3) for NTLMSSP usage. It flags critical anomalies such as IP-to-hostname mismatches, evidence of LLMNR/NBT-NS poisoning, rapid cross-domain authentication, and verifies SMB signing status. It is essential for proactive threat hunting and security incident investigation in Active Directory environments.
