This skill automates the hardening of Linux endpoints (Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS) by implementing industry-standard security best practices guided by CIS Benchmarks. It systematically secures various layers, including filesystem permissions, network parameters (sysctl), SSH configuration, user access controls (PAM), and integrates deep auditing using auditd and OpenSCAP. It is essential for achieving compliance with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

Binary Authorization is a critical Google Cloud security control that enforces policy-based deployment rules. It mandates that only container images with valid cryptographic attestations (proof of successful vulnerability scanning, code reviews, etc.) can be deployed to GKE or Cloud Run. Use this guide to establish robust supply chain security and compliance controls for your cloud-native applications.

This guide details the process of deploying and configuring Tofino industrial firewalls for critical OT/ICS environments. It provides architectural blueprints and Python-based rule generators to implement deep packet inspection (DPI) for key industrial protocols like Modbus, EtherNet/IP, and S7comm. This ensures granular, protocol-aware access control and robust zone segmentation for safeguarding SCADA and PLCs.

Pod Security Admission (PSA) is a built-in Kubernetes admission controller designed to enforce Pod Security Standards (Baseline, Restricted, Privileged) at the namespace level. It serves as a crucial replacement for the deprecated PodSecurityPolicy (PSP), allowing users to implement robust security controls and maintain compliance. By applying specific labels, administrators can set enforcement modes (enforce, audit, warn) to harden container environments against unauthorized privilege escalation and security risks.

This skill guides the deployment and comprehensive configuration of Rapid7 InsightVM. It covers setting up the Security Console and distributed Scan Engines for both authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scanning. Learn how to manage diverse scan templates (e.g., PCI, HIPAA), utilize various credential types (SSH, WMI), and integrate endpoint assessment for robust cybersecurity posture management.

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.

This skill guides the end-to-end deployment of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) using Zscaler Private Access (ZPA). It replaces traditional, perimeter-based VPNs by enforcing identity-based, context-aware microsegmentation. Learn to configure Identity Provider integration, deploy App Connectors, define granular application segments, and establish robust access policies for secure, outbound-only connections.

This tool performs comprehensive API inventory and discovery across an organization's environment. It identifies all API endpoints—including documented, undocumented, shadow, and deprecated APIs—by combining passive traffic analysis (HAR files), active scanning, DNS enumeration, and cloud resource auditing. It helps map the complete API attack surface, crucial for security assessments and compliance requirements like PCI-DSS and SOC2.

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 skill simulates various network attack scenarios, including bandwidth throttling, traffic shaping, and network degradation, using tools like tc, iperf3, and Scapy. It is designed for authorized security assessments to test the resilience of applications, validate Quality-of-Service (QoS) policies, and assess the ability of network monitoring tools to detect sophisticated traffic manipulation attacks (e.g., Slowloris-style attacks).
