Skill UI

Master the complete penetration testing lifecycle, covering all five stages from reconnaissance and scanning to vulnerability analysis using OWASP standards, and advanced exploitation techniques with tools like Metasploit. This skill provides a structured framework for conducting authorized, professional security assessments.

A comprehensive framework for assessing network security posture. This skill guides the tester through the entire penetration testing lifecycle, from reconnaissance and host discovery (using tools like Nmap) to service enumeration, vulnerability identification (CVEs), and controlled exploitation (Metasploit). It is essential for validating firewall rules, ensuring compliance (e.g., PCI-DSS), and stress-testing critical infrastructure security.

This guide details the exploitation of the Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) ESC1 vulnerability. By leveraging misconfigurations, an attacker can request certificates impersonating high-privileged users (e.g., Domain Admins). The workflow covers AD enumeration, forging certificates with arbitrary Subject Alternative Names (SANs), authenticating via PKINIT, and ultimately escalating domain privileges using tools like mimikatz. Essential for authorized red team and penetration testing.

This comprehensive guide outlines methods to identify and exploit specific IPv6 vulnerabilities, including SLAAC spoofing, Router Advertisement (RA) manipulation, and Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) attacks. It is designed strictly for authorized penetration testing to assess dual-stack security controls, detect unauthorized tunnels (like Teredo or 6to4), and validate network defenses against IPv6-specific threats. Always obtain explicit written authorization before use.

This guide details the detection and exploitation of the critical MS17-010 (EternalBlue) vulnerability in SMBv1. It covers the full red-teaming lifecycle, including vulnerability scanning using Nmap and executing payloads via Metasploit. It is designed for authorized penetration testing and simulated adversary engagements against legacy Windows environments.

A comprehensive guide to using the Metasploit Framework for advanced penetration testing and vulnerability validation. This skill details how to confirm exploitability of identified CVEs, gather post-exploitation evidence, and validate patch remediation effectiveness. It is essential for risk-based vulnerability management and red team exercises, providing proof of real-world impact beyond simple scanner scores.

This guide details the exploitation of the critical Zerologon vulnerability (CVE-2020-1472) in Active Directory Domain Controllers. It demonstrates the methodology for resetting the DC machine account password to empty, achieving full domain compromise. Subsequent steps include dumping domain credentials using DCSync. Essential for authorized red-teaming and security validation.

A comprehensive toolkit for analyzing ELF binaries to locate memory-corruption vulnerabilities, such as buffer overflows and ROP chains. This skill is vital for authorized penetration testing and CTF challenges, allowing users to evaluate compiler mitigations (ASLR, NX, Canary, PIE) and develop robust proof-of-concept exploits.

This advanced playbook details expert techniques for format string exploitation. It covers arbitrary stack reading (%p), memory writing (%n), and exploiting weaknesses like GOT/hook overwrites. Essential for CTF challenges and binary vulnerability analysis to achieve reliable Remote Code Execution (RCE).

A comprehensive guide detailing various 802.11 management frame attacks, including deauthentication and disassociation. It covers targeted single-client deauth for handshake capture, broadcast DoS attacks, and advanced action-frame exploitation to bypass PMF (802.11w). Essential for professional penetration testing and wireless vulnerability assessment.
