A comprehensive guide for security professionals on detecting and preventing ARP spoofing and poisoning attacks. The skill covers multiple layers of defense, including implementing Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) on managed switches, utilizing ARPWatch for continuous monitoring, performing deep packet inspection with Wireshark, and developing custom Python scripts for real-time anomaly detection. Essential for mitigating Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks at Layer 2.

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.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on detecting network reconnaissance and port scanning activities using industry-standard IDS/IPS systems like Suricata and Snort. It covers various scanning techniques (e.g., SYN, FIN, NULL, Xmas scans, UDP sweeps) and advanced detection methods, including signature matching, threshold-based alerting, and traffic anomaly analysis to identify tools like Nmap and Masscan.

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.

A comprehensive methodology for detecting advanced system compromises, including rootkits, hidden processes, and kernel-level malware. It utilizes memory forensics, cross-view detection (comparing different system views), and integrity checking to identify manipulated kernel structures, hooked system calls (SSDT, IAT, IRP), and covert network connections. Ideal for deep forensic investigations where standard tools fail to reveal the true state of a compromised system.

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.

A comprehensive guide on configuring advanced email security gateways (SEGs) to detect and block sophisticated, targeted spearphishing attacks. This skill covers essential detection layers, including impersonation protection, real-time URL detonation, attachment sandboxing, and creating custom behavioral rules. It is crucial for SOC analysts and security engineers building robust email threat defense systems.

This skill addresses advanced threat detection for critical infrastructure (OT/ICS). It monitors sophisticated, multi-stage cyber-physical attacks, focusing specifically on PLC logic integrity monitoring, detecting unauthorized modifications, and analyzing process anomalies. It covers the entire attack chain, from initial USB-borne access (IT) to process manipulation (OT).

A comprehensive guide and set of detection rules for identifying OS credential dumping techniques (MITRE T1003). It leverages EDR telemetry, Sysmon process access monitoring, and Windows security event correlation to detect attacks targeting LSASS memory, SAM databases, and NTDS.dit files. Essential for proactive threat hunting and incident response.

Executes comprehensive red team exercises that mimic real-world adversary operations across people, processes, and technology. This capability simulates the full attack lifecycle, from initial reconnaissance to objective completion, specifically testing an organization's detection, response, and containment mechanisms. It focuses on adversary emulation and complex attack chains, differentiating it from standard vulnerability scanning or penetration testing.
