This guide outlines how to implement Google Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) to enforce zero-trust, identity-based access control across various Google Cloud services (App Engine, Cloud Run, GKE, Compute Engine). It details configuring per-request authentication, context-aware policies (like device posture and location), and programmatic access management for highly secure internal applications.

This guide details the comprehensive deployment of Cisco Duo Multi-Factor Authentication across critical access points like VPN, RDP, SSH, and web applications. It covers setting up the Duo Authentication Proxy, implementing adaptive access policies based on risk and device health, and deploying phishing-resistant methods like WebAuthn/FIDO2, ensuring compliance with NIST standards. Use this when hardening identity access management or establishing robust security controls.

Utilizes User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), statistical baselines, and machine learning models to monitor authentication logs. This skill identifies sophisticated security threats such as impossible travel, credential stuffing, brute force attacks, and compromised accounts in real-time. Essential for security operations and identity access management.

A comprehensive guide and framework for detecting attacker lateral movement within enterprise networks. It details the use of network flow analysis (Zeek), authentication log review (Windows Event Logs, Kerberos), and dedicated SIEM correlation rules (Splunk, Elastic) to identify techniques like Pass-the-Hash and RDP hopping. Ideal for threat hunters and security engineers building detection pipelines.

This guide details how to hunt for adversary lateral movement (MITRE ATT&CK TA0008) using Splunk's advanced SPL querying capabilities. It focuses on analyzing Windows authentication logs (e.g., Type 3/10 logons), correlating event IDs (4624, 4648) with process creation data (Sysmon), and identifying unusual source-destination relationships across the network to scope the breadth of a compromise.

A comprehensive guide and workflow for proactively hunting Pass-the-Hash (T1550.002) attacks. This method involves analyzing NTLM authentication patterns, correlating suspicious logon types, and utilizing EDR/SIEM data (Splunk, CrowdStrike) to scope lateral movement during incident response or threat hunting exercises. Essential for validating security detection coverage.

A comprehensive tool and guide for detecting and exploiting NoSQL injection vulnerabilities in MongoDB, CouchDB, and similar databases. It simulates advanced attacks such as authentication bypass, blind data extraction using regex, and JavaScript execution via the $where operator. Ideal for penetration testers and security researchers assessing APIs and web applications backed by NoSQL backends.

This skill details techniques for exploiting PHP's type juggling vulnerabilities, primarily caused by loose (==) comparison operators. It demonstrates how attackers can bypass authentication mechanisms, defeat magic hash function verifications, and manipulate application logic through controlled type coercion when testing web applications. Ideal for authorized security penetration testing.

This comprehensive guide outlines techniques for authorized penetration testing of real-time web applications using WebSocket connections. It covers discovering various WebSocket endpoints, testing for authentication bypass, identifying Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH) vulnerabilities, and assessing message handling for injection flaws (SQLi, XSS). Essential for securing chat, trading, and live notification platforms.

This utility performs comprehensive forensic analysis on memory dumps. It leverages industry-standard tools like Volatility and Mimikatz to extract sensitive information, including cached credentials, NTLM/LM hashes, Kerberos tickets, and authentication tokens. It is crucial for incident response, assessing the scope of credential compromise, and investigating lateral movement attacks.

This guide details how to harden the Docker daemon (dockerd) configuration by modifying /etc/docker/daemon.json. It implements critical security controls such as user namespace remapping, disabling inter-container communication (ICC), enforcing no-new-privileges, and configuring secure TLS client authentication. Use this method to prevent container breakout, privilege escalation, and lateral movement, ensuring compliance with standards like CIS benchmarks.

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.
