This skill provides a structured methodology for threat hunting DNS-based persistence mechanisms. It detects unauthorized changes such as DNS hijacking, dangling CNAME records enabling subdomain takeover, wildcard DNS abuse, or unauthorized NS delegation modifications. By utilizing passive DNS history (e.g., SecurityTrails API) and auditing cloud DNS logs (Route53, Azure, Cloudflare), users can identify persistent attack vectors that survive traditional remediation efforts.

This guide provides a systematic methodology for proactive threat hunting targeting Living-off-the-Land Binaries (LOLBins). Attackers misuse legitimate, signed system binaries (like certutil or rundll32) to execute malicious payloads or download files, effectively bypassing traditional security controls and application allowlisting. Use this framework when establishing EDR/SIEM detection rules or when investigating advanced, fileless defense-evasion techniques.

This comprehensive guide outlines a structured methodology for threat hunting and incident response, focusing on identifying adversary persistence mechanisms across Windows endpoints. It covers critical areas such as Registry Run/RunOnce keys, services, scheduled tasks, WMI event subscriptions, and COM hijacking. Use this workflow to proactively detect unauthorized backdoors, strengthen detection rules, and assess overall security posture against MITRE ATT&CK techniques (T1547).

A comprehensive guide for hypothesis-driven threat hunting focusing on Windows Scheduled Task persistence (T1053). This methodology guides the creation of advanced SIEM/EDR queries against critical events like task creation (Event ID 4698), suspicious actions, and unusual scheduling patterns. Essential for incident response, proactive threat hunting, and security assessments.

This guide details a structured threat hunting methodology designed to proactively detect sophisticated spearphishing campaigns. It instructs users on correlating indicators across email logs, endpoint telemetry (EDR), and network data (SIEM) to identify targeted threats, supporting incident response and security posture improvement.

This guide provides a structured methodology for hypothesis-driven threat hunting focused on detecting web shell deployment (T1505.003) on internet-facing servers. It analyzes file creation in web directories, suspicious child-process generation from web server processes, and anomalous HTTP request patterns. Use this during incident response, proactive security assessments, or when EDR/SIEM alerts indicate web server process anomalies.

This skill provides a structured methodology for mitigating alert fatigue within Security Operations Centers (SOCs). It guides users through advanced techniques, including implementing Risk-Based Alerting (RBA) to replace high-volume, low-fidelity alerts with consolidated risk scores. It emphasizes quantifying alert quality by analyzing True Positive (TP) and False Positive (FP) rates, and systematically tuning detection rules to maintain analyst effectiveness.

Provides comprehensive, end-to-end guidance for establishing and maintaining an Information Security Management System (ISMS) compliant with ISO/IEC 27001:2022. This framework covers critical phases including gap analysis, detailed risk assessment methodology, selecting and documenting Annex A controls, creating the Statement of Applicability (SoA), and preparing for internal and external certification audits.

This methodology provides SOC teams with an adversary-centric framework to evaluate security detection capabilities against the MITRE ATT&CK framework. By systematically mapping existing SIEM rules and data sources, users can identify critical detection gaps, prioritize rule development efforts, and measure the overall maturity of their security operations center (SOC) defenses over time.

This comprehensive guide details the methodology for Active Directory (AD) penetration testing. It covers deep domain enumeration, utilizing tools like BloodHound and Impacket, and executing advanced attacks such as Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, and privilege escalation via delegation abuse. Use this when conducting authorized security assessments to discover and exploit misconfigurations to achieve domain compromise.

This guide details the methodology and tools for conducting authorized privilege escalation assessments within AWS environments. It systematically utilizes specialized tools like Pacu and Principal Mapper (PMapper) to identify critical IAM misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and weak cross-account trust relationships. It is essential for validating the principle of least privilege and assessing the potential blast radius of compromised credentials during authorized penetration testing.

This guide provides a comprehensive methodology for auditing essential HTTP security headers, including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy. It helps identify missing or improperly configured browser-level protections, crucial for mitigating vulnerabilities like XSS, clickjacking, and mixed content issues, ensuring compliance with standards like PCI DSS and SOC 2.
