A comprehensive guide for conducting hypothesis-driven threat hunting against supply chain compromises (T1195). This skill focuses on querying SIEM/EDR logs to detect indicators of trojanized software updates, compromised dependencies, unauthorized code modifications, and tampered build artifacts. It is crucial when investigating suspected vendor compromises or scoping a build pipeline breach, requiring advanced knowledge of logging systems and threat intelligence.

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 for SOC analysts and digital forensics experts. This skill covers the entire lifecycle of a phishing incident, from initial user report and header analysis (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to detonating malicious URLs/attachments in sandboxes. It guides users on scoping the attack, identifying impacted users via SIEM/proxy logs, and executing containment measures like email purges.

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.

A comprehensive guide for incident responders detailing how to investigate Active Directory (AD) compromises. This skill covers analyzing critical components like NTDS.dit integrity, detecting Kerberos anomalies (Golden/Silver Tickets), tracing lateral movement, and identifying Group Policy abuse to reconstruct attacker activity and determine the full scope of a breach.

A comprehensive guide detailing the systematic process of security alert triage within Elastic Security SIEM. Learn how to classify, prioritize, and investigate potential threats using Kibana, advanced ES|QL queries, and ECS-normalized data. This workflow is crucial for SOC analysts to rapidly determine true positives, manage alert queues, and ensure effective incident response.

A comprehensive guide to investigating AWS account compromises by querying CloudTrail logs. Use boto3 or AWS Athena to filter suspicious activities—such as unauthorized API calls, S3 data exfiltration, or IAM privilege escalation—to reconstruct a detailed attacker timeline and generate a professional forensic report.

Zeek is a powerful, open-source network analysis framework that functions as a passive security monitor. It generates highly detailed, structured logs (e.g., HTTP, DNS, TLS) from raw network traffic, allowing for deep metadata extraction. This skill guides users through deploying Zeek, writing custom detection scripts, and integrating the resulting rich security logs with SIEM platforms for advanced threat detection and forensic investigations.

A comprehensive guide for Security Operations Center (SOC) teams to perform proactive threat hunting using Elastic SIEM. This skill teaches advanced techniques like KQL and EQL queries, analyzing event sequences, and investigating anomalies to uncover threats that bypass automated detection rules. Ideal for validating detection coverage gaps and responding to new TTPs based on the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

A structured guide for SOC Tier 1 analysts to triage security alerts within Splunk Enterprise Security (ES). It provides a systematic workflow for classifying severity, investigating notable events, correlating evidence across diverse data sources (proxy, firewall, logs), and making clear disposition decisions (True Positive, False Positive) required for escalation or closure.

A deep dive toolset for forensic investigation of advanced persistent threats (APT) at the firmware level. It analyzes UEFI variable modifications, SPI flash implants, Secure Boot bypass techniques, and unauthorized components within the EFI System Partition (ESP). Utilizes tools like chipsec, flashrom, and YARA for comprehensive integrity verification.

This guide details how to analyze comprehensive Zeek network logs (conn.log, smb_files.log, ntlm.log, dce_rpc.log, etc.) to detect advanced attacker techniques. It specifically targets indicators of compromise related to lateral movement, such as SMB admin share access, NTLM account spraying, and remote service execution (DCE/RPC patterns). It is a critical network forensics tool for post-incident investigation.
