This guide details how to establish SAML 2.0 identity federation between on-premises Active Directory (using AD FS or third-party IdP) and Microsoft Entra ID. It covers hybrid identity architectures, configuring federation models (AD FS, PHS, PTA), and implementing the full SAML authentication flow. Essential for extending on-premises authentication authority to cloud resources and maintaining security compliance.

This guide details how to configure Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to enforce Zero Trust principles. It converts standing, permanent privileged roles into eligible, time-bound assignments, requiring mandatory justification, MFA, and approval workflows before activation. Ideal for achieving strict role-assignment auditing and comprehensive identity governance in hybrid cloud environments.

A comprehensive guide to hardening AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) configurations. This skill enforces least-privilege access by utilizing IAM Access Analyzer, setting permission boundaries, scoping policies, and managing credential rotation. It is crucial for reducing the blast radius of compromised accounts and passing compliance audits (e.g., SOC 2, PCI-DSS).

A comprehensive guide for conducting memory forensics to extract cached credentials, password hashes, Kerberos tickets, and authentication tokens from Windows memory dumps (LSASS). This technique is crucial during incident response or breach assessment to identify compromised accounts or investigate lateral movement.

A comprehensive guide for defense contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It covers preparing for CMMC Level 2 certification, implementing 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, calculating the SPRS score using DoD methodology, and managing the POA&M and SSP. Essential for DFARS compliance and external assessments.

This skill guides users through hardening LDAP directory services against critical security vulnerabilities, such as LDAP injection, credential harvesting, and anonymous binding bypass. It covers implementing robust security controls including LDAPS enforcement, channel binding, and LDAP signing, essential for maintaining compliance and securing identity infrastructure in regulated environments.

A comprehensive guide detailing detection and defense strategies against OAuth token theft, session hijacking, and token replay in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). It covers advanced attacks like Primary Refresh Token (PRT) abuse and Adversary-in-the-Middle (AitM) phishing, and provides actionable steps for configuring Conditional Access and Token Protection policies.

This skill provides advanced detection methods for credential dumping, covering LSASS memory access, SAM hive extraction, and NTDS.dit theft (e.g., using Mimikatz). It utilizes Sysmon Event ID 10 and Windows Security logs to enable threat hunting, assisting SOC analysts in triaging EDR alerts and building robust SIEM correlation rules.

This comprehensive guide details how to build a robust, ransomware-resilient backup architecture using the extended 3-2-1-1-0 methodology. It covers defining Recovery Point/Time Objectives (RPO/RTO), configuring multiple isolated copies (local, offsite, immutable/air-gapped), strictly isolating backup credentials, and automating regular restore testing. Essential for organizations requiring high cyber resilience against modern threats.

A comprehensive guide to deploying cloud-native deception across AWS, Azure, and GCP. This skill utilizes decoy resources—such as canary IAM keys, honey object storage buckets, and decoy secrets—whose sole purpose is to generate high-fidelity alerts the instant they are interacted with by an attacker. It detects cloud reconnaissance, credential theft, and lateral movement by wiring detection through native logging services (CloudTrail, Sentinel, Cloud Audit Logs), ensuring near-zero false positives for the SOC.

This guide details how to implement Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) using gcloud. It enforces per-request identity verification and context-aware access policies (e.g., device posture, location) across major GCP backends, including Compute Engine, App Engine, Cloud Run, and GKE. It is essential for migrating from traditional VPN access to a robust, zero-trust, identity-based security architecture for cloud applications.

This skill details how to abuse the Windows DPAPI (Data Protection API) to extract and decrypt sensitive secrets protected by the OS. It covers multiple scenarios: online decryption (using the target user's context), offline decryption (requiring passwords or NTLM hashes), and advanced domain-wide decryption via the DPAPI backup key. Essential for red-teaming and post-exploitation activities to harvest credentials, browser logins, and Wi-Fi passwords.
