This skill guides SOC analysts and detection engineers on how to correlate complex, multi-stage attacks within the IBM QRadar SIEM platform. It covers advanced usage of AQL (Ariel Query Language) for deep event investigation, building custom correlation rules (Building Blocks and Offenses), and cross-source data correlation (e.g., auth failures with network flows). It is essential for reducing false positives and improving threat detection accuracy.

A comprehensive guide for deploying and configuring CrowdStrike Falcon EDR agents across diverse endpoints (Windows, macOS, Linux). This skill covers silent installation via SCCM, Intune, GPO, and command-line methods, alongside establishing robust prevention and response policies. Ideal for onboarding endpoints, enhancing threat detection capabilities, and integrating Falcon telemetry into SIEM platforms for advanced security operations.

A comprehensive guide for deploying and operationalizing Amazon GuardDuty. It provides continuous, intelligent threat detection across core AWS services including S3, EKS, and EC2 runtime monitoring. Use this skill to investigate suspicious activity, detect compromised credentials, or build automated incident response playbooks using EventBridge and Lambda for proactive security.

This skill provides comprehensive detection methods for credential dumping techniques, a critical post-exploitation phase in cyber attacks. It targets the extraction of sensitive credentials from LSASS memory, SAM registry hives, and NTDS.dit using advanced security visibility. Detection relies on analyzing Sysmon Event ID 10 (ProcessAccess), Windows Security logs, and complex SIEM correlation rules, making it essential for SOC analysts and threat hunters investigating advanced persistent threats (APTs).

Provides analysts with a workflow to hunt and investigate credential dumping (LSASS, SAM, NTDS, DCSync) using EDR telemetry, Sysmon access events, and AD replication monitoring.

This guide details comprehensive detection methods for DCSync attacks (MITRE T1003.006) in Active Directory. Attackers abuse legitimate directory replication protocols to extract sensitive password hashes. Detection relies on auditing Windows Event ID 4662 for unauthorized access attempts to critical Directory Service GUIDs, specifically flagging non-domain-controller accounts attempting replication calls. Essential for threat hunting and incident response.

A comprehensive guide for advanced threat hunting, focusing on detecting DLL side-loading and search-order hijacking (MITRE T1574). It instructs users to analyze Sysmon Event ID 7 logs, validate file signatures and hashes, and identify path anomalies to uncover APT persistence mechanisms. Essential for incident response and proactive threat detection in enterprise environments.

A comprehensive guide and analysis framework for detecting compromised Office 365 or Google Workspace email accounts. It focuses on analyzing unified audit logs and Azure AD sign-in logs to identify indicators of account takeover (ATO) or Business Email Compromise (BEC). Detection methods include monitoring impossible travel events, identifying malicious inbox rules (e.g., external forwarding or deletion rules), and analyzing suspicious Microsoft Graph API access patterns.

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 skill provides a structured methodology for detecting persistence and lateral movement via malicious scheduled tasks. It utilizes Sysmon Event IDs (1, 11) and Windows Security Events (4698/4702) to correlate process creation, task file writes, and task registration details. Ideal for threat hunting and building robust detection rules for T1053.005.

This skill details the detection of Pass-the-Ticket (PtT) attacks, a critical credential theft technique. It instructs users on analyzing Windows Security Event IDs (4768, 4769, 4771) within SIEM platforms like Splunk or Elastic. Use cases include investigating security incidents, building advanced threat hunting queries, and validating SOC monitoring coverage for lateral movement attacks.

This comprehensive guide configures Fail2ban to implement a robust, layered defense mechanism for network security. It sets up custom filters and actions to automatically detect and mitigate threats such as port scanning, SSH brute force attempts, and network reconnaissance. By dynamically banning malicious IP addresses and providing security alerts, this skill significantly enhances the host-based intrusion prevention capabilities of your system.
