This comprehensive guide details how to implement robust security hardening measures for LDAP directory services. It specifically addresses critical vulnerabilities like LDAP injection, anonymous binding, and channel binding bypass. Key features include mandatory LDAPS enforcement, granular access control list configuration, and integrating advanced monitoring to ensure the infrastructure meets high compliance standards (e.g., NIST 800-53). Essential for security architects and operations teams.

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 skill guides SOC analysts and detection engineers on how to correlate complex, multi-stage attacks within the IBM QRadar SIEM platform. It covers advanced usage of AQL (Ariel Query Language) for deep event investigation, building custom correlation rules (Building Blocks and Offenses), and cross-source data correlation (e.g., auth failures with network flows). It is essential for reducing false positives and improving threat detection accuracy.

A comprehensive guide for security professionals on detecting and preventing ARP spoofing and poisoning attacks. The skill covers multiple layers of defense, including implementing Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) on managed switches, utilizing ARPWatch for continuous monitoring, performing deep packet inspection with Wireshark, and developing custom Python scripts for real-time anomaly detection. Essential for mitigating Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks at Layer 2.

This skill detects compromised cloud credentials by analyzing anomalous API activity, impossible travel patterns, and unauthorized access indicators across AWS, Azure, and GCP. It integrates findings from GuardDuty, Defender for Identity, and Security Command Center to provide comprehensive threat visibility and assist in incident response and scope assessment.

This skill detects unauthorized modifications (container drift) to running containers by monitoring for deviations from the original image state. It monitors binary execution drift, file system changes, and configuration deviations using tools like Falco and Kubernetes security contexts. Essential for SOC analysts and security teams investigating runtime compromises and enforcing immutable infrastructure.

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 skill outlines a comprehensive methodology for detecting compromised email accounts in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It analyzes critical indicators such as unauthorized inbox rule creation (e.g., forwarding rules, deletion rules), suspicious sign-in locations (impossible travel), and unusual API access patterns using Microsoft Graph and Unified Audit Logs. It is essential for threat hunting and incident response (IR) to mitigate Business Email Compromise (BEC) and account takeover.

This guide outlines a comprehensive threat hunting methodology for detecting Kerberoasting attacks. It focuses on monitoring for anomalous Kerberos TGS requests targeting service accounts with SPNs, which are indicators of brute-force or offline password cracking attempts. Use this workflow during proactive security assessments, incident response, or when analyzing SIEM/EDR telemetry to identify potential lateral movement.

This guide details advanced threat hunting techniques to proactively detect Mimikatz execution. It focuses on identifying command-line patterns, unauthorized access to LSASS memory, binary indicators, and known credential dumping techniques (e.g., DCSync, Golden Tickets). Ideal for security analysts, threat hunters, and incident response teams during proactive assessments or active compromise investigation.

A guide for security professionals and threat hunters to proactively detect advanced privilege escalation techniques across Windows and Linux environments. It covers critical attack methods including token manipulation, UAC bypass, unquoted service paths, and kernel exploits, utilizing EDR and SIEM data sources for comprehensive incident response and security assessments.

This guide details advanced methods for detecting and preventing QR code phishing (quishing) attacks. It covers how malicious URLs embedded in images bypass traditional email security filters, requiring multimodal AI, OCR, and robust mobile threat defense solutions. Essential for SOC analysts and security teams.
