A comprehensive guide for deep packet inspection and network forensics using Wireshark and tshark. This skill is critical for incident response, where it allows users to capture, filter, and analyze network packet data to identify malicious command-and-control traffic, diagnose complex protocol issues, extract indicators of compromise (IOCs), and reconstruct data exfiltration paths. Use it for validating security rules and understanding network anomalies.

A comprehensive framework for assessing network security posture. This skill guides the tester through the entire penetration testing lifecycle, from reconnaissance and host discovery (using tools like Nmap) to service enumeration, vulnerability identification (CVEs), and controlled exploitation (Metasploit). It is essential for validating firewall rules, ensuring compliance (e.g., PCI-DSS), and stress-testing critical infrastructure security.

A comprehensive guide to deploying and configuring Suricata, a high-performance IDS/IPS. This skill covers setting up multi-threaded packet capture, integrating Emerging Threats rulesets, generating structured EVE JSON logs, and enabling deep protocol inspection (HTTP, TLS, DNS). It enables real-time threat detection and seamless SIEM integration for centralized security monitoring.

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.

This guide details methods and rules for detecting container escape attempts, a critical security vulnerability where an adversary breaks out of container isolation to access the host system or other containers. It covers monitoring syscalls, namespace manipulation (e.g., nsenter, unshare), accessing sensitive host paths (/proc), and detecting privileged operations using tools like Falco and eBPF.

This skill provides advanced runtime security rules using Falco, a CNCF-graduated tool. It monitors Linux syscalls to detect container escape attempts in real-time, identifying techniques such as mounting host filesystems, unauthorized namespace access (nsenter), and privileged container launches. It is crucial for SOC analysts and security teams enhancing cloud-native security coverage.

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 tool provides a comprehensive security audit framework for Azure Storage accounts. It systematically detects critical misconfigurations, such as publicly accessible blob containers, weak encryption settings, overly permissive network access rules, and missing logging. Use it when performing compliance checks, responding to security incidents, or establishing storage security baselines in Azure environments.

A comprehensive guide on configuring advanced email security gateways (SEGs) to detect and block sophisticated, targeted spearphishing attacks. This skill covers essential detection layers, including impersonation protection, real-time URL detonation, attachment sandboxing, and creating custom behavioral rules. It is crucial for SOC analysts and security engineers building robust email threat defense systems.

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.

This skill guides the security hardening of Windows endpoints (10/11, Server 2019/2022) using established CIS Benchmarks. It provides a comprehensive workflow for establishing secure organizational baselines, configuring Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and enforcing security controls across critical areas like password policies, audit logs, and firewall rules. It is essential for achieving compliance with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

This skill details how to establish continuous compliance monitoring for AWS resources. It covers deploying managed and custom Config rules aligned with industry standards like CIS and PCI DSS. The workflow includes setting up recording, implementing automated remediation using SSM, and aggregating compliance data across multiple AWS accounts using AWS Organizations. Ideal for security auditing and guardrail deployment.
