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 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 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 a comprehensive guide to deploying Zeek (formerly Bro) for passive network security monitoring. It details how to generate structured logs (DNS, HTTP, SSL, etc.) and write custom Zeek scripts to detect sophisticated anomalies like DNS tunneling and beaconing. Ideal for threat hunting, security incident response, and complementing traditional IDS solutions.

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).

The Metasploit Framework is the industry standard platform for penetration testing and vulnerability validation. It provides numerous modules (exploits, payloads, auxiliaries) used to confirm if identified security weaknesses are genuinely exploitable. This guide details using Metasploit in a structured, risk-based workflow for authorized testing, including vulnerability checking, post-exploitation assessment, and patch verification.

Provides a structured methodology for proactive threat hunting against Living-off-the-Land Binaries (LOLBins). It guides practitioners in identifying techniques where adversaries abuse legitimate system tools (like certutil, mshta, rundll32) to execute payloads while bypassing traditional security controls (AV/EDR). Ideal for incident response, red team validation, and improving detection coverage against fileless attacks.

This guide provides a structured methodology for proactively hunting adversaries who establish persistence using Windows Scheduled Tasks (T1053). It outlines the necessary prerequisites (EDR, SIEM, Sysmon) and a comprehensive workflow—from hypothesis formulation to threat correlation—for detecting suspicious task creation, unusual scheduling patterns, and attacker TTPs during incident response or red teaming.

This guide details the process of implementing BGP route origin validation using Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). Learn how to create Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs), deploy RPKI validators, and configure Route Origin Validation (ROV) on major routers like Cisco IOS-XE and Juniper Junos. This technique is crucial for preventing malicious route hijacking and securing internet routing paths.

This skill guides the progressive adoption of the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) v2.0. It provides a comprehensive, structured roadmap for assessing and improving security architecture across five critical pillars: Identity, Devices, Networks, Applications, and Data. Learn to perform gap analysis and implement advanced controls needed to achieve optimal zero trust compliance.

This comprehensive guide details the end-to-end deployment of Delinea Secret Server for robust Privileged Access Management (PAM). It provides scripts and steps for configuring the vault infrastructure, defining secret templates, and automating the discovery of privileged credentials across hybrid environments. Essential for organizations needing centralized, compliant, and automatically rotated management of shared and service accounts.
