Comprehensive patterns and best practices for deploying and managing microservices using the Linkerd service mesh on Kubernetes. Covers automatic mTLS, sophisticated traffic splitting for canary deployments, setting Service Profiles for enhanced resilience (retries/timeouts), and defining robust authorization policies.

This skill empowers users to manage and monitor critical SSL/TLS certificates using the built-in certificate manager. It provides capabilities to check certificate expiration dates, automate the renewal process for expired credentials, and list all installed certificates. It is essential for system administrators and developers maintaining secure, uninterrupted network connections and ensuring compliance.

A comprehensive guide to simulating Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks using industry-standard tools like Bettercap, Ettercap, and mitmproxy. This technique is strictly for authorized penetration testing environments to assess cryptographic controls, validate TLS certificate pinning, and test network defense mechanisms against ARP/DNS spoofing and sniffing.

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 provides a comprehensive guide to deploying a Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) using the CSA v2.0 specification. It implements core zero trust principles by establishing a dynamic, identity-centric network boundary. The deployment covers Single Packet Authorization (SPA) and mutual TLS (mTLS) to ensure that resources are invisible and inaccessible until a user is fully authenticated and authorized.

This guide provides comprehensive steps to harden the Docker daemon configuration. It covers essential security controls like user namespace remapping, disabling inter-container communication (ICC), implementing TLS authentication, and adopting rootless mode. Implementing these measures significantly reduces the attack surface and mitigates risks associated with container breakouts and privilege escalation, aligning with CIS benchmarks.

This skill guides threat hunters in detecting Cobalt Strike Command and Control (C2) beacons. It utilizes advanced network forensic techniques, including analyzing default TLS certificate serials, JA3/JA3S/JARM fingerprints, beacon jitter, and HTTP profile matching. Detection is achieved by correlating data from Zeek logs, Suricata rules, and Python PCAP analysis to identify suspicious outbound communications.

This guide provides a comprehensive methodology for assessing the security posture of Kubernetes etcd clusters. It covers critical areas including encryption at rest (for secrets), TLS transport security, access control validation, secure backup procedures, and network isolation checks, ensuring cluster data integrity and confidentiality.

This skill simulates SSL stripping and Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks using specialized tools like Bettercap and sslstrip. It is designed for authorized penetration testing to assess a web application's resilience against downgrade attacks. Users can test if HSTS headers are properly enforced, if TLS certificates are correctly validated, and if sensitive data remains encrypted throughout the session.

A comprehensive tool for conducting deep security assessments of SSL/TLS server configurations. It uses the sslyze library to evaluate supported protocol versions (e.g., TLS 1.0-1.3), cipher suite strength, certificate chain validity, HSTS enforcement, and scan for critical vulnerabilities like Heartbleed and ROBOT. Ideal for security auditing and incident response.

This tool monitors Certificate Transparency (CT) logs to detect unauthorized certificate issuance for owned domains, discover hidden subdomains, and track suspicious certificate activity. By querying public CT logs and APIs (like crt.sh), it helps build continuous security pipelines, identify potential phishing infrastructure, and map the external attack surface for comprehensive threat intelligence.

Assesses organizational readiness for migrating cryptographic systems to post-quantum standards (PQC), aligning with NIST guidelines. The tool performs comprehensive cryptographic inventory scanning to identify quantum-vulnerable algorithms (RSA, ECDH, ECDSA) and evaluates the feasibility of implementing hybrid TLS configurations using standards like ML-KEM and ML-DSA. Essential for implementing crypto-agility across enterprise infrastructure.
