This guide details the deployment of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for comprehensive Network Access Control (NAC). It utilizes 802.1X authentication, MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB), and posture assessment to enforce security policies. Key features include integrating with Active Directory, assigning dynamic VLANs, and applying TrustSec Security Group Tags (SGTs) for advanced network segmentation in enterprise environments.

This guide details the systematic workflow for patch management, covering the entire lifecycle from vulnerability discovery and risk assessment to controlled testing, multi-phased deployment, and final verification. Learn how to integrate tools like WSUS, SCCM, and Ansible into a robust, automated process to significantly reduce the attack surface and ensure compliance across enterprise IT infrastructure.

This skill guides Security Operations Center (SOC) teams through structured threat modeling using the MITRE ATT&CK framework. It enables mapping adversary Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) against organizational assets to identify critical detection coverage gaps, prioritize defensive investments, and improve overall security posture. Ideal for risk assessment, purple teaming, and compliance planning.

This skill uses the python-gvm library to programmatically deploy and operate Greenbone/OpenVAS vulnerability management. It connects via the Greenbone Management Protocol (GMP) to create scan targets, execute vulnerability scans, and parse complex XML reports into structured, actionable JSON findings. Ideal for automating security assessments, compliance checks, and detailed vulnerability reporting.

This comprehensive guide details the implementation of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) across major multi-cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), adhering to NIST SP 800-207 and BeyondCorp principles. It covers identity-centric access, micro-segmentation, continuous risk assessment, and deploying Identity-Aware Proxies to secure modern, distributed workloads without relying on traditional network perimeters.

This comprehensive guide details the methodology for Active Directory (AD) penetration testing. It covers deep domain enumeration, utilizing tools like BloodHound and Impacket, and executing advanced attacks such as Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, and privilege escalation via delegation abuse. Use this when conducting authorized security assessments to discover and exploit misconfigurations to achieve domain compromise.

This skill covers performing comprehensive vulnerability assessments across diverse environments, including on-premises infrastructure, cloud VMs, and container registries. It leverages standard network protocols like SSH (Linux) and WMI (Windows), coupled with advanced cloud provider APIs for analyzing disk snapshots without requiring local endpoint agents. Ideal for security auditing and compliance checks.

A comprehensive security assessment guide and script to test API rate limit vulnerabilities. It evaluates if an API's security controls can be bypassed using advanced techniques such as IP spoofing (manipulating X-Forwarded-For headers), HTTP method variations, and endpoint path traversal. Designed for penetration testing, it helps assess resilience against brute-force or resource exhaustion attacks, aligning with OWASP API Top 10 findings.

This guide details how to perform authenticated (credentialed) vulnerability scans using industry-leading tools like Nessus, Qualys, and OpenVAS. By utilizing service credentials (SSH, SMB, WinRM, SNMPv3), the scan moves beyond superficial banner checks to deeply inspect installed patches, configurations, and local system settings on Linux, Windows, and network devices. This is crucial for detecting vulnerabilities that unauthenticated scans often miss, significantly improving security assessment accuracy.

CAPE is an open-source sandbox derived from Cuckoo, designed for automated dynamic malware analysis. It features advanced behavioral instrumentation, capturing system changes, network traffic (PCAP), and specialized parsers to extract malware configurations (e.g., Emotet, Cobalt Strike). Use this skill for incident response, security assessments, and validating security controls against complex payloads and evasion techniques.

This guide details the methodology and tools for conducting authorized privilege escalation assessments within AWS environments. It systematically utilizes specialized tools like Pacu and Principal Mapper (PMapper) to identify critical IAM misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and weak cross-account trust relationships. It is essential for validating the principle of least privilege and assessing the potential blast radius of compromised credentials during authorized penetration testing.

A comprehensive guide for authorized red-team assessments using the Pacu framework. This process details how to enumerate IAM policies, scan for privilege escalation paths, test data access across services (S3, DynamoDB), and simulate lateral movement to determine the blast radius of compromised AWS credentials.
