A specialized tool designed for incident responders and threat hunters. It extracts critical configuration data—such as C2 server addresses, malleable profiles, watermarks, and communication settings—from Cobalt Strike beacon payloads found in PE files or memory dumps. This analysis is crucial for mapping attacker infrastructure and improving defensive detection rules.

A comprehensive guide for analyzing PCAP files captured during malware execution. It demonstrates advanced techniques using Wireshark, Zeek, Suricata, and Python (scapy) to identify Command and Control (C2) communications, data exfiltration channels, Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA), and periodic beaconing patterns. Essential for malware reverse engineering and network threat detection.

This comprehensive guide outlines how to plan and execute a full-scope red team engagement. It simulates real-world Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) behavior, covering the entire cyber kill chain from initial reconnaissance (OSINT) through lateral movement, credential harvesting, and data exfiltration. It utilizes MITRE ATT&CK frameworks to rigorously test an organization's detection, prevention, and incident response capabilities.

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 the advanced configuration of Windows Event Logging using Group Policy Objects (GPO) and advanced audit policies. It enables high-fidelity logging for critical security events, including process creation (Event 4688), logon/logoff activities, and object access. The process covers optimizing log sizes and implementing Windows Event Forwarding (WEF) to centralize data into SIEM platforms for effective threat detection and forensic investigation.

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 deploying and configuring CrowdStrike Falcon EDR agents across diverse endpoints (Windows, macOS, Linux). This skill covers silent installation via SCCM, Intune, GPO, and command-line methods, alongside establishing robust prevention and response policies. Ideal for onboarding endpoints, enhancing threat detection capabilities, and integrating Falcon telemetry into SIEM platforms for advanced security operations.

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 provides comprehensive anomaly detection for Modbus/TCP and Modbus RTU traffic in Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). It monitors function codes, validates register access, analyzes timing, and detects unauthorized clients. By utilizing advanced tools like Zeek, Suricata, and custom Python models, it helps establish behavioral baselines and identify potential cyber threats.

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 skill for detecting early-stage ransomware indicators before data encryption occurs. It utilizes advanced network detection tools such as Zeek and Suricata, combined with SIEM correlation rules and threat intelligence feeds. This method monitors the entire pre-encryption kill chain, identifying precursor behaviors like initial access broker activity, Cobalt Strike C2 beaconing, credential harvesting (e.g., Mimikatz signatures), and data staging attempts, enabling timely incident response and containment.

This skill provides a methodology for proactive threat hunting to detect compromised service accounts. It focuses on identifying anomalous activities such as unusual interactive logons, unauthorized privilege escalation, lateral movement, and suspicious access patterns using SIEM/EDR platforms. Essential for incident response and compliance.
