Skill UI

Master the complete penetration testing lifecycle, covering all five stages from reconnaissance and scanning to vulnerability analysis using OWASP standards, and advanced exploitation techniques with tools like Metasploit. This skill provides a structured framework for conducting authorized, professional security assessments.

A comprehensive guide detailing the entire workflow for analyzing embedded firmware. It covers hardware-level extraction methods (UART, JTAG, SPI dump), filesystem analysis (SquashFS, JFFS2), binary reverse engineering using tools like Ghidra, and identifying common vulnerabilities (Buffer Overflow, Command Injection). Ideal for security researchers and embedded systems engineers.

Centralizes proven red team methodologies into an automated reconnaissance and vulnerability discovery workflow that sequences asset discovery, live host validation, fingerprinting, content hunting, and exploit surface analysis for bug bounty and defensive assessments.

A comprehensive workflow for performing static and dynamic analysis of malicious PDF documents. It utilizes tools like peepdf, pdfid, and pdf-parser to extract embedded JavaScript, shellcode, and suspicious objects. Ideal for triaging phishing attachments, analyzing exploit documents, and building threat signatures in a controlled forensic environment.

This comprehensive toolkit provides deep static analysis capabilities for suspicious PDF documents. Using tools like PDFiD, pdf-parser, and peepdf, it identifies embedded malicious structures—including JavaScript code, shellcode, auto-actions, and exploit kits—without opening or rendering the file. It is essential for security analysts conducting threat triage, forensic investigation, and assessing potential attack vectors from suspicious attachments.

Executes authorized, advanced attack simulations against Active Directory environments to identify critical misconfigurations, weak credentials, and exploitable trust relationships. Utilizing industry tools like BloodHound, Mimikatz, and Impacket, this process simulates complex attacks such as Kerberoasting, Golden Ticket forging, and domain compromise path analysis, helping organizations validate their security posture against real-world threats.

A comprehensive toolkit for analyzing ELF binaries to locate memory-corruption vulnerabilities, such as buffer overflows and ROP chains. This skill is vital for authorized penetration testing and CTF challenges, allowing users to evaluate compiler mitigations (ASLR, NX, Canary, PIE) and develop robust proof-of-concept exploits.

A comprehensive guide detailing techniques for detecting and exploiting Blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). It uses advanced out-of-band (OOB) techniques, such as Burp Collaborator and timing analysis, to interact with internal services, scan private IP ranges, and extract cloud metadata (AWS, GCP, Azure) even when the application does not reflect the server response directly. Essential for web application penetration testing.

This comprehensive guide details the process of performing authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability assessments using Tenable Nessus. It covers everything from advanced scan configuration (port discovery, credentialing, plugin setup) to detailed result analysis, including cross-referencing CVEs and prioritizing remediation based on CVSS scores and exploit availability. Ideal for compliance auditing, penetration testing, and maintaining system patch compliance.

This comprehensive guide details a step-by-step workflow for reverse engineering malware binaries using Ghidra. It guides users through static and dynamic analysis techniques to study internal logic, C2 communication protocols, cryptographic routines, and obfuscation methods at the assembly and pseudo-C code level. Use this when deep code review is required to extract configuration data, understand exploit mechanisms, or develop detection signatures.

Guides learners through reconnaissance, scanning, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, and reporting phases of authorized penetration testing, pairing command examples with tool choices and professional deliverables.

This curriculum covers foundational exploitation techniques essential for binary security analysis. Users will learn to control program execution flow, including overwriting EIP/RIP, constructing ROP chains, implementing ret2libc, and shellcode injection. It provides practical, hands-on exercises on stack overflows and heap manipulation in a controlled Linux environment, establishing the core primitives needed before tackling modern mitigation bypasses.
