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 guide featuring best practices and patterns for building robust GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Covers multi-stage deployments, containerization (Docker), infrastructure as code (Terraform), security scanning, caching strategies, and advanced GitOps workflows for automated testing and deployment to Kubernetes.

This tool parses NetFlow v9 and IPFIX records to conduct deep network security analysis. It is crucial for investigating security incidents by building traffic baselines and applying statistical methods. Key detection capabilities include identifying port scanning, data exfiltration attempts, command and control (C2) beaconing patterns, and general volumetric anomalies in network traffic.

Binary Authorization is a critical Google Cloud security control that enforces policy-based deployment rules. It mandates that only container images with valid cryptographic attestations (proof of successful vulnerability scanning, code reviews, etc.) can be deployed to GKE or Cloud Run. Use this guide to establish robust supply chain security and compliance controls for your cloud-native applications.

This skill guides the deployment and comprehensive configuration of Rapid7 InsightVM. It covers setting up the Security Console and distributed Scan Engines for both authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scanning. Learn how to manage diverse scan templates (e.g., PCI, HIPAA), utilize various credential types (SSH, WMI), and integrate endpoint assessment for robust cybersecurity posture management.

This tool performs comprehensive API inventory and discovery across an organization's environment. It identifies all API endpoints—including documented, undocumented, shadow, and deprecated APIs—by combining passive traffic analysis (HAR files), active scanning, DNS enumeration, and cloud resource auditing. It helps map the complete API attack surface, crucial for security assessments and compliance requirements like PCI-DSS and SOC2.

This guide details how to use OpenVAS/Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM) to perform authenticated vulnerability scans. By utilizing valid credentials (SSH for Linux, SMB for Windows), scans can log into target systems, detecting deep local vulnerabilities, missing patches, and misconfigurations far beyond what unauthenticated scans can find. This is essential for comprehensive security assessments and compliance auditing.

This guide details authenticated (credentialed) vulnerability scanning, which uses valid system credentials (SSH keys, domain passwords, etc.) to log into target hosts. Unlike external scanning, credentialed methods allow deep inspection of installed patches, local configurations, registry keys, and system files across diverse platforms (Linux, Windows, Network Devices). This significantly increases vulnerability detection rates and reduces false positives for comprehensive security assessments.

This comprehensive guide details the methodology for detecting and exploiting Blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities. It covers crucial techniques including out-of-band (OOB) detection, internal network enumeration (port scanning, IP scanning), accessing cloud metadata endpoints (AWS, GCP, Azure), and bypassing common security filters using various encoding and parsing confusion methods. Ideal for penetration testing and cloud security assessments.

This skill assesses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device security by scanning nearby devices, enumerating GATT services, and analyzing characteristics. It detects critical vulnerabilities such as unencrypted sensitive data exposure, weak pairing configurations, and known vulnerable device fingerprints, making it essential for IoT and medical device security auditing.

This skill simulates and detects critical software supply chain attacks, including typosquatting via Levenshtein distance, dependency confusion detection against private registries, and package integrity verification using SHA-256 hashing. It also performs comprehensive vulnerability scanning against known CVEs using pip-audit. It is essential for security assessments, compliance audits, and incident response when validating software component trustworthiness.

This comprehensive guide details advanced network reconnaissance using Nmap's full capabilities. It covers sophisticated host discovery across multiple protocols, deep port scanning with timing and performance tuning, accurate service version enumeration, and OS fingerprinting. Furthermore, it teaches advanced techniques like firewall evasion (fragmentation, spoofing) and running NSE scripts for systematic vulnerability detection, crucial for authorized security assessment reports.
