This tool guides the creation of comprehensive, standardized incident response playbooks aligned with industry standards like NIST SP 800-61r3 and SANS PICERL. It structures playbooks covering detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident activities, including decision trees, RACI matrices, and seamless integration pathways for SOAR platforms. Ideal for maturing an organization's security posture and ensuring compliance.

This tool assists in defining a structured Security Operations Center (SOC) escalation matrix. It maps incident response procedures based on severity (P1-P4), asset criticality, and business impact. Users can model tiered response paths, set Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and implement context-driven automatic escalation triggers to ensure rapid and consistent handling of cybersecurity incidents.

A comprehensive system for systematically collecting, categorizing, and enriching Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from various sources (network logs, memory dumps, email, etc.). It supports the entire incident response lifecycle, ensuring structured data representation using STIX/TAXII formats for robust threat intelligence sharing and defensive system automation.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

A comprehensive playbook designed for Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) environments. It provides structured, phased incident response procedures aligned with SANS PICERL, IEC 62443, and NIST standards. It specifically addresses safety-critical challenges, process availability, and the unique coordination required between IT Security, OT Engineering, and Plant Operations during cyber incidents, such as ransomware attacks.
