Pass-the-Ticket (PtT) is a critical post-exploitation technique used in red teaming and offensive security assessments. It allows an attacker to move laterally across a network by utilizing stolen Kerberos tickets (TGT or TGS) without ever needing the user's password. This skill outlines the process of dumping tickets from memory (e.g., LSASS) and injecting them into a current session to impersonate a high-privilege user for access to sensitive resources.

A structured guide for conducting blameless post-mortem reviews after any security incident. This process helps identify root causes using techniques like the 5 Whys, calculates critical metrics (MTTD, MTTR), and generates actionable recommendations to continuously improve incident response playbooks and procedures.

This guide details the end-to-end process of conducting a sophisticated spearphishing simulation campaign, mirroring real red team adversary techniques. It covers initial OSINT research and pretext development, building weaponized payloads that bypass security controls, setting up robust email infrastructure (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), executing the campaign in waves, and performing detailed post-campaign metrics analysis for comprehensive security reporting.

This guide details the process of configuring microsegmentation policies to enforce least-privilege access between workloads. It covers the entire workflow, from application dependency mapping and discovery (Phase 1) to defining label-based, default-deny security zones (Phase 2). It is crucial for preventing lateral movement in highly secure, zero-trust architectures using tools like VMware NSX, Illumio, and Calico.

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 guide details the process of implementing Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) to replace legacy VPNs with a modern Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) framework. It covers deploying App Connectors, defining application segments, and establishing granular access policies based on user identity, organizational user groups, and detailed device posture checks (e.g., compliance, anti-malware status).

This comprehensive guide provides a structured, multi-stage workflow for containing active security breaches. It details both short-term and long-term strategies, including network segmentation, endpoint isolation, credential revocation, and evidence preservation. Use this process during confirmed intrusions, ransomware attacks, or lateral movement events to effectively stop adversary activity and secure critical assets before eradication.

This comprehensive guide details how to implement a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution using Cloudflare Access and Cloudflare Tunnel. It provides a secure alternative to traditional VPNs by offering identity-aware, policy-driven access to self-hosted and private applications. The process covers setting up tunnels, integrating major Identity Providers (Okta, Azure AD), and enforcing granular access policies.

This solution automates the processing of AWS GuardDuty findings using EventBridge and AWS Lambda. It enables real-time incident response capabilities, including automatic quarantine of compromised EC2 resources, comprehensive forensic snapshot creation, and immediate high-severity security notifications via SNS. Ideal for SOC teams seeking to drastically reduce Mean Time To Response (MTTR) and strengthen cloud security posture.

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).

A comprehensive methodology for detecting advanced system compromises, including rootkits, hidden processes, and kernel-level malware. It utilizes memory forensics, cross-view detection (comparing different system views), and integrity checking to identify manipulated kernel structures, hooked system calls (SSDT, IAT, IRP), and covert network connections. Ideal for deep forensic investigations where standard tools fail to reveal the true state of a compromised system.

This skill addresses advanced threat detection for critical infrastructure (OT/ICS). It monitors sophisticated, multi-stage cyber-physical attacks, focusing specifically on PLC logic integrity monitoring, detecting unauthorized modifications, and analyzing process anomalies. It covers the entire attack chain, from initial USB-borne access (IT) to process manipulation (OT).
