A comprehensive guide to hardening Windows Active Directory environments using Group Policy Objects (GPO). This skill configures multiple layers of defense, including AppLocker, Controlled Folder Access, and Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rules, to prevent ransomware execution paths, block unauthorized file modifications, and restrict lateral movement across the domain.

This skill details the deployment of various canary tokens (DNS, HTTP, AWS API Keys) across enterprise network infrastructure. It establishes digital tripwires that detect behavioral anomalies, such as unauthorized access, credential leakage, or lateral movement. Tokens are configured with webhook alerts (Slack, SIEM) for real-time, low-false-positive notification, significantly enhancing traditional IDS/IPS capabilities.

AWS Detective automatically analyzes log data from CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, GuardDuty, and EKS audit logs to build interactive behavior graphs. This tool enables security analysts to investigate suspicious activity, trace lateral movement across accounts, profile compromised entities (IAM users, EC2 instances), and reconstruct complex attack timelines without manual log parsing. Ideal for triaging GuardDuty findings or investigating suspected AWS compromises.

Comprehensive reference for red teamers and penetration testers on executing Active Directory attacks, covering reconnaissance, credential harvesting, Kerberos abuses, lateral movement, and domain persistence techniques against Windows domains.

Methodology for red team testing of on-prem Active Directory, hybrid AD/Entra ID, and ADCS. Covers reconnaissance, credential abuse, privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence, trust abuse, and Defender for Identity evasion.

Offensive cloud security methodology for AWS, Azure, and GCP. Covers identity discovery, credential harvesting, enumeration, privilege escalation, persistence, data exfiltration, lateral movement, serverless abuse, Kubernetes paths, and detection evasion during authorized assessments.

A comprehensive playbook detailing advanced techniques for exploiting misconfigured Active Directory Access Control Lists (ACLs). It covers BloodHound enumeration, abusing dangerous ACE types (GenericAll, WriteDACL), conducting DCSync attacks, leveraging shadow credentials, and exploiting GPO/LAPS weaknesses for privilege escalation and lateral movement in a deep dive for security professionals.

An expert playbook detailing advanced techniques for pivoting across compromised Linux hosts. Techniques cover SSH agent hijacking, credential harvesting from common system files, key extraction, and abusing internal services via D-Bus and systemd exploitation, crucial for post-exploitation stages.

This expert playbook details advanced techniques for establishing secure network tunnels and pivoting through compromised hosts. It covers various methods like SSH (Local, Remote, Dynamic, Jump), Chisel, Ligolo-ng, socat, and ProxyChains. Use this guide to bypass network restrictions, establish persistent access, and perform multi-layered lateral movement within restricted environments.

A comprehensive playbook detailing expert techniques for lateral movement across Windows networks. It covers various protocols and methods for pivoting between compromised hosts, including PsExec, WMI, WinRM, DCOM, SMB, RDP, and advanced credential techniques like Pass-the-Hash (PTH) and Pass-the-Ticket (PTT).

A comprehensive guide for conducting memory forensics to extract cached credentials, password hashes, Kerberos tickets, and authentication tokens from Windows memory dumps (LSASS). This technique is crucial during incident response or breach assessment to identify compromised accounts or investigate lateral movement.

A comprehensive guide to deploying cloud-native deception across AWS, Azure, and GCP. This skill utilizes decoy resources—such as canary IAM keys, honey object storage buckets, and decoy secrets—whose sole purpose is to generate high-fidelity alerts the instant they are interacted with by an attacker. It detects cloud reconnaissance, credential theft, and lateral movement by wiring detection through native logging services (CloudTrail, Sentinel, Cloud Audit Logs), ensuring near-zero false positives for the SOC.
