A comprehensive guide for threat hunting, detailing detection methods for the abuse of elevation controls (T1548). It covers both Windows environments (UAC bypass via registry modification and auto-elevating binaries like fodhelper.exe) and Linux systems (sudo/setuid abuse). Use this to monitor system events, registry changes, and process relationships to identify unauthorized privilege escalation attempts.

A comprehensive guide for threat hunters and incident responders to detect WMI-based persistence mechanisms (MITRE T1546.003). It details the analysis of Sysmon Event IDs 19, 20, and 21, cross-referencing these events with root\subscription namespaces and using tools like Autoruns and SIEM analysis for robust detection.

Execute deep, stealthy red team exercises that emulate real-world sophisticated adversaries. This process maps attacks to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, testing an organization's entire security posture—including detection, incident response, and containment capabilities (Blue Team). It is designed for simulating full attack lifecycles (initial access, lateral movement, exfiltration) to validate security investments and meet regulatory requirements (TIBER-EU, CBEST). Requires executive authorization and defined Rules of Engagement.

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.

This guide details the comprehensive methodology for detecting and exploiting Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerabilities across multiple popular template engines, including Jinja2, Twig, and Freemarker. It provides step-by-step workflows, covering payload detection using basic arithmetic expressions, engine identification, and executing advanced Remote Code Execution (RCE) payloads for penetration testing purposes.

This skill provides structured methods for detecting credential stuffing attacks by analyzing authentication logs. It focuses on identifying complex patterns such as login velocity anomalies, high IP diversity, password spray techniques, and suspicious geographical distributions of failed logins. It is essential for SOC analysts conducting threat hunting or building robust detection rules against account takeover attempts.

Detects data-staging activity (MITRE ATT&CK T1074) by analyzing EDR/Sysmon process-creation and file-system telemetry. This skill monitors for archive creation (7-Zip, RAR, tar), unusual file consolidation from multiple directories, and suspicious activity in temporary or hidden paths. It is essential for threat hunting, building robust detection rules, and validating security monitoring coverage against data exfiltration attempts.

This comprehensive guide outlines a structured methodology for threat hunting and incident response, focusing on identifying adversary persistence mechanisms across Windows endpoints. It covers critical areas such as Registry Run/RunOnce keys, services, scheduled tasks, WMI event subscriptions, and COM hijacking. Use this workflow to proactively detect unauthorized backdoors, strengthen detection rules, and assess overall security posture against MITRE ATT&CK techniques (T1547).

This guide details a threat hunting technique for detecting persistence mechanisms utilizing Windows Registry Run keys (T1547.001). By analyzing Sysmon Event ID 13 logs, it identifies suspicious auto-start entries pointing to temporary directories, encoded PowerShell commands, or abused LOLBins. Essential for SOC analysts and security engineers investigating incidents and developing robust detection rules.

This guide details a structured threat hunting methodology designed to proactively detect sophisticated spearphishing campaigns. It instructs users on correlating indicators across email logs, endpoint telemetry (EDR), and network data (SIEM) to identify targeted threats, supporting incident response and security posture improvement.

Monitors Windows process creation events to flag Living Off The Land Binary abuse by matching Event ID 4688/Sysmon 1 logs against LOLBAS database entries, supporting threat hunting and SIEM rule creation for fileless attacks.

This skill provides a structured methodology for mitigating alert fatigue within Security Operations Centers (SOCs). It guides users through advanced techniques, including implementing Risk-Based Alerting (RBA) to replace high-volume, low-fidelity alerts with consolidated risk scores. It emphasizes quantifying alert quality by analyzing True Positive (TP) and False Positive (FP) rates, and systematically tuning detection rules to maintain analyst effectiveness.
