Pass-the-Ticket (PtT) is a critical post-exploitation technique used in red teaming and offensive security assessments. It allows an attacker to move laterally across a network by utilizing stolen Kerberos tickets (TGT or TGS) without ever needing the user's password. This skill outlines the process of dumping tickets from memory (e.g., LSASS) and injecting them into a current session to impersonate a high-privilege user for access to sensitive resources.

This comprehensive guide details the multi-step workflow for responding to sophisticated phishing incidents. It covers everything from initial triage and detailed email header analysis to analyzing malicious URLs and attachments in sandboxes. Key steps include determining the scope of impact, implementing immediate containment actions (like purging emails and revoking sessions), and executing thorough remediation to neutralize the threat and recover affected accounts.

A structured guide for conducting blameless post-mortem reviews after any security incident. This process helps identify root causes using techniques like the 5 Whys, calculates critical metrics (MTTD, MTTR), and generates actionable recommendations to continuously improve incident response playbooks and procedures.

This comprehensive skill guides users through designing and executing advanced social engineering penetration tests. It covers simulating real-world attacks, including phishing (email), vishing (voice), smishing (SMS), and physical pretexting. The goal is to measure an organization's human security resilience, identify training gaps, and test security controls across multiple vectors using tools like GoPhish and SET.

This guide outlines the comprehensive process for planning and executing authorized vishing (voice phishing) pretext calls. Used in red teaming exercises, it assesses employee susceptibility to social engineering attacks and evaluates the effectiveness of existing security awareness controls. Key steps include OSINT research, developing believable pretexts (e.g., IT helpdesk impersonation), structured call execution, and collecting detailed metrics.

This guide details the end-to-end process of conducting a sophisticated spearphishing simulation campaign, mirroring real red team adversary techniques. It covers initial OSINT research and pretext development, building weaponized payloads that bypass security controls, setting up robust email infrastructure (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), executing the campaign in waves, and performing detailed post-campaign metrics analysis for comprehensive security reporting.

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.

AWS Verified Access is a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) service that provides secure, VPN-less connectivity to corporate applications hosted in AWS. It enforces granular, conditional access control using the Cedar policy language, verifying both user identity and device security posture in real-time before granting access to specific resources. Ideal for modernizing security architecture and meeting strict compliance requirements.

This guide details how to build and manage a robust two-tier Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) using OpenSSL. Learn to establish a Root CA and an Intermediate CA, issue server and client certificates, configure Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), and implement best practices for secure key management and certificate policy enforcement, ensuring compliance and high security standards.

This skill guides the setup of Host-Based Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS) using industry-standard tools like Wazuh, OSSEC, or AIDE. It covers essential security practices, including File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) for critical directories, monitoring system calls, detecting configuration changes, and identifying rootkits. It is crucial for meeting regulatory compliance requirements (e.g., PCI DSS) and significantly enhancing overall endpoint security posture.

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 comprehensive guide details how to implement robust security hardening measures for LDAP directory services. It specifically addresses critical vulnerabilities like LDAP injection, anonymous binding, and channel binding bypass. Key features include mandatory LDAPS enforcement, granular access control list configuration, and integrating advanced monitoring to ensure the infrastructure meets high compliance standards (e.g., NIST 800-53). Essential for security architects and operations teams.
