A comprehensive guide for conducting penetration testing on iOS and Android mobile applications, adhering to the OWASP MASTG. This skill covers the full mobile attack surface, including static analysis of binaries, dynamic runtime testing, and deep API security assessment. Techniques taught include bypassing certificate pinning, analyzing local data storage (Keychain, SQLite), and identifying vulnerabilities in authentication and network communication.

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 comprehensive skill guides users through designing and executing advanced social engineering penetration tests. It covers simulating real-world attacks, including phishing (email), vishing (voice), smishing (SMS), and physical pretexting. The goal is to measure an organization's human security resilience, identify training gaps, and test security controls across multiple vectors using tools like GoPhish and SET.

This guide outlines the comprehensive process for planning and executing authorized vishing (voice phishing) pretext calls. Used in red teaming exercises, it assesses employee susceptibility to social engineering attacks and evaluates the effectiveness of existing security awareness controls. Key steps include OSINT research, developing believable pretexts (e.g., IT helpdesk impersonation), structured call execution, and collecting detailed metrics.

This guide details the end-to-end process of conducting a sophisticated spearphishing simulation campaign, mirroring real red team adversary techniques. It covers initial OSINT research and pretext development, building weaponized payloads that bypass security controls, setting up robust email infrastructure (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), executing the campaign in waves, and performing detailed post-campaign metrics analysis for comprehensive security reporting.

This guide details the implementation of Microsoft's Enhanced Security Admin Environment (ESAE) tiered model for Active Directory. It covers best practices for establishing Tier 0/1/2 separation, deploying Privileged Access Workstations (PAWs), and designing robust access control policies. Ideal for security architects and compliance officers seeking to meet stringent standards like NIST 800-53.

This guide details how to build and manage a robust two-tier Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) using OpenSSL. Learn to establish a Root CA and an Intermediate CA, issue server and client certificates, configure Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), and implement best practices for secure key management and certificate policy enforcement, ensuring compliance and high security standards.

This skill guides the setup of Host-Based Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS) using industry-standard tools like Wazuh, OSSEC, or AIDE. It covers essential security practices, including File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) for critical directories, monitoring system calls, detecting configuration changes, and identifying rootkits. It is crucial for meeting regulatory compliance requirements (e.g., PCI DSS) and significantly enhancing overall endpoint security posture.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to configuring Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) using the industry-standard PKCS#11 interface. It details best practices for key generation, secure key storage, and cryptographic operations (signing, encryption, decryption). Learn how to manage keys in a tamper-resistant environment, ensuring private keys never leave the device boundary. Applicable for building compliance-grade security architectures across finance and government sectors.

This comprehensive guide details how to implement robust security hardening measures for LDAP directory services. It specifically addresses critical vulnerabilities like LDAP injection, anonymous binding, and channel binding bypass. Key features include mandatory LDAPS enforcement, granular access control list configuration, and integrating advanced monitoring to ensure the infrastructure meets high compliance standards (e.g., NIST 800-53). Essential for security architects and operations teams.

This guide details the process of configuring microsegmentation policies to enforce least-privilege access between workloads. It covers the entire workflow, from application dependency mapping and discovery (Phase 1) to defining label-based, default-deny security zones (Phase 2). It is crucial for preventing lateral movement in highly secure, zero-trust architectures using tools like VMware NSX, Illumio, and Calico.

A comprehensive guide for deploying Cisco Duo Multi-Factor Authentication across diverse enterprise access points, including VPN, RDP, SSH, and web applications. This skill details advanced security practices, covering adaptive access policies, phishing-resistant authentication (WebAuthn/FIDO2), device health checks, and establishing robust identity and access management controls aligned with industry compliance standards.
