Skill UI

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.

This guide provides a systematic, step-by-step workflow for Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts to perform alert triage using Elastic Security SIEM. It covers initial alert assessment, context gathering using advanced ES|QL queries, threat intelligence enrichment, and final classification decisions (True Positive, False Positive, etc.) to rapidly determine genuine security threats and prioritize incident response actions.

Use RESTler to automate stateful security testing of REST APIs. It processes OpenAPI specifications to generate fuzzing grammars, allowing users to discover complex bugs, such as injection vulnerabilities, resource leaks, and unhandled exceptions (500 errors), by executing diverse sequences of API calls. Essential for robust CI/CD regression testing and proactive API security assessments.

This tool performs comprehensive API inventory and discovery across an organization's environment. It identifies all API endpoints—including documented, undocumented, shadow, and deprecated APIs—by combining passive traffic analysis (HAR files), active scanning, DNS enumeration, and cloud resource auditing. It helps map the complete API attack surface, crucial for security assessments and compliance requirements like PCI-DSS and SOC2.

This guide details how to use OpenVAS/Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM) to perform authenticated vulnerability scans. By utilizing valid credentials (SSH for Linux, SMB for Windows), scans can log into target systems, detecting deep local vulnerabilities, missing patches, and misconfigurations far beyond what unauthenticated scans can find. This is essential for comprehensive security assessments and compliance auditing.

This guide details authenticated (credentialed) vulnerability scanning, which uses valid system credentials (SSH keys, domain passwords, etc.) to log into target hosts. Unlike external scanning, credentialed methods allow deep inspection of installed patches, local configurations, registry keys, and system files across diverse platforms (Linux, Windows, Network Devices). This significantly increases vulnerability detection rates and reduces false positives for comprehensive security assessments.

CAPE is an open-source sandbox built for automated malware analysis, derived from Cuckoo. It provides advanced behavioral monitoring, payload dumping, and configuration extraction using over 70 parsers for known malware families (e.g., Emotet, Cobalt Strike). It captures network IOCs, dropped files, and detects anti-evasion techniques, making it ideal for security assessments and incident response workflows via its robust API.

Utilizes ScoutSuite, an open-source multi-cloud auditing tool, to perform comprehensive, agentless security posture assessments across AWS accounts. It queries various AWS APIs to enumerate all resources, identify misconfigurations (such as publicly exposed S3 buckets or weak IAM policies), and generate detailed, actionable HTML reports for compliance and security auditing.

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.

This skill simulates various network attack scenarios, including bandwidth throttling, traffic shaping, and network degradation, using tools like tc, iperf3, and Scapy. It is designed for authorized security assessments to test the resilience of applications, validate Quality-of-Service (QoS) policies, and assess the ability of network monitoring tools to detect sophisticated traffic manipulation attacks (e.g., Slowloris-style attacks).

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.

This comprehensive guide details the methodology for detecting and exploiting Blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities. It covers crucial techniques including out-of-band (OOB) detection, internal network enumeration (port scanning, IP scanning), accessing cloud metadata endpoints (AWS, GCP, Azure), and bypassing common security filters using various encoding and parsing confusion methods. Ideal for penetration testing and cloud security assessments.
