This skill provides comprehensive methods for detecting and preventing privilege escalation within Kubernetes pods and containers. It details using runtime tools like Falco for monitoring syscalls and capabilities, and implementing admission controls via OPA Gatekeeper or Pod Security Admission to enforce security best practices, thereby hardening the cluster against unauthorized access and dangerous configurations.

This skill guides the comprehensive evaluation and selection of Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs). It assesses vendor capabilities, including STIX/TAXII support, workflow automation, SIEM/SOAR integration, and total cost of ownership. It is essential for procurement decisions, migrating between TIP solutions, or assessing whether the current CTI program meets required maturity levels.

Structures completed intrusion investigations with the Diamond Model by documenting adversaries, capabilities, infrastructure, and victims plus their relationships, metadata, and pivots to cluster incidents and support campaign attribution, confidence scoring, and analytic write-ups.

Executes comprehensive red team exercises that mimic real-world adversary operations across people, processes, and technology. This capability simulates the full attack lifecycle, from initial reconnaissance to objective completion, specifically testing an organization's detection, response, and containment mechanisms. It focuses on adversary emulation and complex attack chains, differentiating it from standard vulnerability scanning or penetration testing.

This capability provides advanced threat hunting by analyzing network telemetry (DNS, proxy, connection logs) to detect Command and Control (C2) beaconing patterns. It uses statistical analysis, frequency detection, and jitter analysis to identify compromised endpoints communicating with adversary infrastructure, crucial for proactive threat detection and incident response.

This skill provides advanced threat hunting capabilities to detect NTLM relay attacks within Active Directory environments. It analyzes critical Windows Security Event 4624 logs, specifically focusing on logon type 3 using NTLMSSP authentication. The detection logic identifies suspicious patterns, including IP-to-hostname mismatches, rapid multi-host authentications, and lack of SMB signing enforcement, helping SOC analysts pinpoint unauthorized credential access attempts.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on implementing robust network security controls in Kubernetes using Calico's CNI capabilities. Learn to define and audit NetworkPolicy and GlobalNetworkPolicy resources to achieve zero-trust microsegmentation, restrict egress traffic, and control all pod-to-pod communications, ensuring compliance and enhanced security posture.

This skill implements the Diamond Model framework, providing a structured approach to analyzing complex cyber intrusions. It allows users to programmatically classify and correlate events based on four core elements: Adversary, Capability, Infrastructure, and Victim. Key functionalities include building activity threads, identifying pivot points, and generating comprehensive, pivot-ready threat intelligence reports.

This skill guides the implementation of envelope encryption using AWS Key Management Service (KMS). Envelope encryption is a robust security pattern where data is encrypted locally using a Data Encryption Key (DEK), and the DEK itself is protected by a master Key Encryption Key (KEK) managed by AWS KMS. This approach overcomes the limitations of direct KMS encryption, enabling unlimited data size encryption, reducing latency, and allowing offline encryption capabilities by keeping the master key secure in an HSM.

This methodology provides SOC teams with an adversary-centric framework to evaluate security detection capabilities against the MITRE ATT&CK framework. By systematically mapping existing SIEM rules and data sources, users can identify critical detection gaps, prioritize rule development efforts, and measure the overall maturity of their security operations center (SOC) defenses over time.

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 guide details how to simulate ARP spoofing attacks in controlled, authorized lab environments. It demonstrates Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) risks by poisoning the ARP cache, allowing users to test network detection capabilities (IDS/IPS, DAI) and validate the effectiveness of security controls like port security and 802.1X. This skill is strictly for authorized penetration testing and educational purposes.
