A comprehensive guide to simulating Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks using industry-standard tools like Bettercap, Ettercap, and mitmproxy. This technique is strictly for authorized penetration testing environments to assess cryptographic controls, validate TLS certificate pinning, and test network defense mechanisms against ARP/DNS spoofing and sniffing.

This guide details the implementation of Microsoft's Enhanced Security Admin Environment (ESAE) tiered model for Active Directory. It covers best practices for establishing Tier 0/1/2 separation, deploying Privileged Access Workstations (PAWs), and designing robust access control policies. Ideal for security architects and compliance officers seeking to meet stringent standards like NIST 800-53.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to configuring Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) using the industry-standard PKCS#11 interface. It details best practices for key generation, secure key storage, and cryptographic operations (signing, encryption, decryption). Learn how to manage keys in a tamper-resistant environment, ensuring private keys never leave the device boundary. Applicable for building compliance-grade security architectures across finance and government sectors.

Provides a comprehensive guide to configuring pfSense firewall rules, NAT policies, and VPN tunnels. It details best practices for enforcing network segmentation (DMZ, LAN, Guest, IOT), controlling traffic flow, and protecting internal network zones in SMB and enterprise environments. Covers VLAN setup, DHCP/DNS management, and granular access control.

TLS 1.3 is the latest Transport Layer Security protocol, offering significant security and performance improvements over TLS 1.2. This guide details how to configure and validate TLS 1.3 on various environments, including Nginx, Apache, and Python applications. It covers advanced topics such as Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), HSTS implementation, modern cipher suites, and best practices for securing modern web services.

Tailscale provides a WireGuard-based, zero-trust mesh VPN solution. It establishes end-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer connections using identity-aware controls and granular Access Control Lists (ACLs). Ideal for modernizing network security, replacing traditional VPNs, and ensuring compliant, identity-gated access across diverse environments (Cloud, On-Prem).

A comprehensive solution for identifying and preventing the accidental commitment of exposed AWS credentials, API keys, and session tokens within source code, configuration files, and git history. It integrates TruffleHog and git-secrets into CI/CD pipelines and pre-commit hooks, providing critical protection against credential theft and unauthorized cloud access in a DevSecOps environment. Essential for security auditing and compliance.

A comprehensive guide for security teams on detecting and responding to unauthorized crypto mining operations in cloud environments (AWS, Azure). It details a multi-layered approach, utilizing cost anomaly detection, compute utilization monitoring, GuardDuty findings, and network flow log analysis (VPC/KQL) to identify resource hijacking attempts and suspicious activity across EC2, ECS, and EKS workloads.

This script detects and analyzes sophisticated fileless malware techniques that operate entirely in system memory. It specializes in identifying threats that utilize Living Off the Land Binaries (LOLBins), WMI event subscriptions, and registry-resident payloads, bypassing traditional file-based security controls. It is ideal for forensic investigations, threat hunting, and building advanced detection rules in modern enterprise environments.

This skill guides the detection of Golden Ticket attacks within Active Directory by analyzing Kerberos logs (Event IDs 4768, 4769, 4771). It hunts for critical anomalies, such as mismatched encryption types (e.g., RC4 in AES environments), impossible ticket lifetimes, or service tickets appearing without a prior ticket grant request. This is essential for post-breach assessment and advanced threat hunting in domain environments.

This guide outlines a comprehensive threat hunting methodology for detecting adversary lateral movement within a network environment. It utilizes Splunk SPL queries against rich Windows event data, including authentication logs (4624, 4625), SMB traffic, and Sysmon telemetry. By correlating source-to-destination activity and identifying unusual logon types (RDP, WinRM, SMB), users can proactively track an attacker's path after initial system compromise, fulfilling MITRE ATT&CK T1021 techniques.

This tool provides a comprehensive security audit framework for Azure Storage accounts. It systematically detects critical misconfigurations, such as publicly accessible blob containers, weak encryption settings, overly permissive network access rules, and missing logging. Use it when performing compliance checks, responding to security incidents, or establishing storage security baselines in Azure environments.
