This skill guides threat hunters in detecting Cobalt Strike Command and Control (C2) beacons. It utilizes advanced network forensic techniques, including analyzing default TLS certificate serials, JA3/JA3S/JARM fingerprints, beacon jitter, and HTTP profile matching. Detection is achieved by correlating data from Zeek logs, Suricata rules, and Python PCAP analysis to identify suspicious outbound communications.

A comprehensive guide and detection methodology for identifying covert communication channels utilizing DNS records. This technique analyzes Zeek dns.log for indicators such as high-entropy subdomains, excessive query volume, unusually long query lengths, and abnormal record type distributions, which suggest data exfiltration or Command and Control (C2) activity.

This skill provides a structured methodology for detecting process injection techniques (MITRE ATT&CK T1055), which adversaries use for defense evasion and privilege escalation. It analyzes granular security logs, specifically utilizing Sysmon Event IDs 8 (CreateRemoteThread) and 10 (ProcessAccess), alongside source-target process relationship mapping to identify suspicious malicious behavior over general system activity.

This methodology guides security professionals in proactively hunting for suspicious activity related to Volume Shadow Copy deletion. By monitoring commands like vssadmin, wmic, and PowerShell usage, it helps detect anti-forensics techniques and preparatory steps often executed by ransomware actors, crucial during incident response or threat hunting exercises.

A comprehensive threat hunting methodology designed to detect adversary persistence and execution mechanisms utilizing Windows Scheduled Tasks (T1053.005). This guide covers analyzing task creation events (Event ID 4698), suspicious properties, unusual triggers, and correlating activity with process execution logs (Sysmon). Ideal for incident responders and security analysts conducting proactive threat hunting on compromised endpoints.

A proactive methodology for detecting signs of compromise by analyzing outbound network traffic. This technique focuses on identifying anomalous patterns, such as connections to rare destinations, non-standard ports (T1571), or unusual connection frequencies, which often indicate Command and Control (C2) activity or data exfiltration.

A comprehensive guide and methodology for proactively detecting webshell deployments on internet-facing servers. It focuses on analyzing file system anomalies, suspicious process spawning from web applications, and identifying unusual HTTP traffic patterns. Ideal for security operations centers (SOCs) during threat hunting, incident response, and purple team exercises.

A comprehensive guide on implementing AWS CloudTrail log analysis for robust security monitoring, threat detection, and forensic investigation. Learn how to configure CloudTrail, use Amazon Athena for SQL querying, and leverage CloudWatch Logs Insights and SIEM integration to identify unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and suspicious API activity across AWS services.

This guide details the deployment of deception technologies, including canary files and honeypot shares, to detect ransomware activity at its earliest stages. It outlines configuring file integrity monitoring (FIM) and using specialized tokens to trigger alerts when ransomware attempts encryption or performs lateral movement, significantly enhancing security posture beyond standard EDR.

This comprehensive guide outlines a structured workflow for conducting digital forensics investigations across major cloud providers, including AWS, Azure, and GCP. It covers critical steps such as evidence preservation (snapshots, metadata capture), systematic log collection (CloudTrail, Activity Logs, Audit Logs, VPC Flow Logs), and advanced analysis techniques to trace unauthorized accesses and identify root causes of security breaches.

This tool provides a comprehensive workflow for performing deep forensic investigations on AWS environments. By leveraging CloudTrail logs and programmatic access via boto3/Athena, users can reconstruct attacker activity, identify compromised credentials, analyze suspicious API call patterns, and generate detailed incident response reports.

This skill provides a comprehensive, multi-stage guide for investigating insider threats. It covers the entire lifecycle, from receiving an allegation and ensuring legal authorization, to covert evidence collection (DLP logs, endpoint forensics), advanced user behavior pattern analysis, and reconstructing a detailed activity timeline for potential legal action. Essential for security incident response.
