A comprehensive guide detailing the process of identifying and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications. The content covers manual and automated techniques, including error-based, boolean, and time-based blind injections. Users learn to fingerprint major database engines (MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle) and utilize tools like sqlmap to demonstrate data extraction and security risks during authorized penetration tests.

A comprehensive workflow for extracting, parsing, and analyzing Windows Event Logs (EVTX). It guides security professionals in using advanced tools like Chainsaw and Hayabusa, combined with Sigma rules, to detect critical security incidents such as lateral movement, privilege escalation, and persistence mechanisms during incident response and digital forensic investigations.

Provides a structured methodology for proactive threat hunting against Living-off-the-Land Binaries (LOLBins). It guides practitioners in identifying techniques where adversaries abuse legitimate system tools (like certutil, mshta, rundll32) to execute payloads while bypassing traditional security controls (AV/EDR). Ideal for incident response, red team validation, and improving detection coverage against fileless attacks.

This comprehensive guide details how to design, deploy, and measure a robust anti-phishing security awareness program. By combining regular simulations, interactive role-based learning modules, and metric tracking, organizations can build a strong security-conscious culture. It covers initial baseline assessments, continuous difficulty scaling, and compliance alignment using industry-leading tools like KnowBe4 and Proofpoint.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to deploying AWS Security Hub for centralized Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM). It covers aggregating security findings from multiple sources (GuardDuty, Inspector, Macie, and third-party tools), enabling compliance checks against standards like CIS and PCI-DSS, and automating remediation workflows across multi-account AWS organizations. Ideal for security teams needing continuous compliance monitoring and robust governance.

A comprehensive guide for implementing Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). Learn how to use specialized tools like Prowler and ScoutSuite, combined with native cloud services (Security Hub, Defender, SCC), to continuously monitor for misconfigurations, compliance violations (CIS, SOC 2), and security drifts, thereby enforcing security guardrails in complex cloud architectures.

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 the implementation of security chaos engineering experiments. It involves deliberately degrading or disabling security controls (like WAF, firewalls, or log pipelines) in a controlled environment to rigorously verify the detection, alerting, and response capabilities of the Security Operations Center (SOC). Users learn to use tools like boto3 and Python to simulate failure scenarios and assess system resilience and compliance posture.

This skill guides the implementation of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) workflows using platforms like Splunk Phantom. It automates the entire incident lifecycle, including alert triage, IOC enrichment (via VirusTotal, CrowdStrike), containment actions, and ticket creation (ServiceNow). Ideal for SOC teams needing to reduce Mean Time To Respond (MTTR) and standardize complex security procedures across multiple tools.

This guide details how to implement sophisticated Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) playbooks using Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR. It demonstrates full lifecycle automation, such as phishing incident investigation, requiring enrichment of URLs, IPs, and files, followed by automated containment actions (e.g., blocking senders, purging mailboxes). Mastering this allows SOC teams to drastically reduce Mean Time To Respond (MTTR) by automating detection, analysis, and remediation steps across multiple security tools.

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 analyzing binary exploitation techniques, covering buffer overflows, ROP chains, and memory corruption vulnerabilities. It details the use of specialized tools like pwntools, checksec, and ROPgadget for identifying and developing exploits in ELF binaries during authorized security assessments and CTF challenges. Focuses on advanced offensive security practices.
