A comprehensive guide and methodology for proactively detecting webshell deployments on internet-facing servers. It focuses on analyzing file system anomalies, suspicious process spawning from web applications, and identifying unusual HTTP traffic patterns. Ideal for security operations centers (SOCs) during threat hunting, incident response, and purple team exercises.

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.

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 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 comprehensive guide details the methodology for detecting and exploiting Blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities. It covers crucial techniques including out-of-band (OOB) detection, internal network enumeration (port scanning, IP scanning), accessing cloud metadata endpoints (AWS, GCP, Azure), and bypassing common security filters using various encoding and parsing confusion methods. Ideal for penetration testing and cloud security assessments.

This guide provides a comprehensive methodology for performing directory traversal and path traversal testing on web applications. It covers identifying file path parameters, executing basic payloads (Linux/Windows), bypassing common security filters using encoding (URL, double, UTF-8), and automating the process with tools like ffuf and dotdotpwn. It also details advanced steps for local file inclusion (LFI) and potential escalation to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via log poisoning.

This guide provides a comprehensive methodology for assessing the security posture of Kubernetes etcd clusters. It covers critical areas including encryption at rest (for secrets), TLS transport security, access control validation, secure backup procedures, and network isolation checks, ensuring cluster data integrity and confidentiality.

This skill provides a systematic methodology for investigating malware persistence mechanisms across Windows and Linux systems. It covers analyzing critical areas like the Windows Registry (SYSTEM, SOFTWARE, Run keys), Scheduled Tasks, and WMI artifacts. Use it during incident response, threat hunting, or digital forensics to ensure all unauthorized startup entries are found and remediated.

This comprehensive guide outlines the end-to-end workflow for mobile device forensics, covering data acquisition and analysis for both iOS and Android platforms. It details techniques using commercial tools like Cellebrite UFED and open-source utilities (ALEAPP, iLEAPP, ADB). This methodology is critical for investigating deleted messages, call logs, location data, and application artifacts in legal or corporate investigations.

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.

This tool guides the process of reviewing security findings from DAST and SAST scanners. It uses the OWASP risk rating methodology to classify vulnerabilities (true positive, false positive, needs review) and calculate a comprehensive risk score based on likelihood and impact, ensuring development teams prioritize the most critical issues.

This comprehensive pipeline guides users from a vague research concept to a fully structured, testable academic proposal. It first refines the core methodology (research-refine) to establish a stable thesis, and then generates a detailed, claim-driven experiment roadmap (experiment-plan). This end-to-end workflow ensures that the final academic output is both elegant and empirically validated.
