A comprehensive framework for assessing network security posture. This skill guides the tester through the entire penetration testing lifecycle, from reconnaissance and host discovery (using tools like Nmap) to service enumeration, vulnerability identification (CVEs), and controlled exploitation (Metasploit). It is essential for validating firewall rules, ensuring compliance (e.g., PCI-DSS), and stress-testing critical infrastructure security.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on detecting network reconnaissance and port scanning activities using industry-standard IDS/IPS systems like Suricata and Snort. It covers various scanning techniques (e.g., SYN, FIN, NULL, Xmas scans, UDP sweeps) and advanced detection methods, including signature matching, threshold-based alerting, and traffic anomaly analysis to identify tools like Nmap and Masscan.

A comprehensive guide simulating real-world attacks against internet-facing infrastructure (firewalls, web servers, DNS, etc.). It covers the entire penetration testing lifecycle, including passive and active reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning (using tools like Nmap, Nessus, and Nuclei), manual validation, and simulated exploitation, adhering to standards like PTES and OSSTMM.

This comprehensive guide details advanced network reconnaissance using Nmap's full capabilities. It covers sophisticated host discovery across multiple protocols, deep port scanning with timing and performance tuning, accurate service version enumeration, and OS fingerprinting. Furthermore, it teaches advanced techniques like firewall evasion (fragmentation, spoofing) and running NSE scripts for systematic vulnerability detection, crucial for authorized security assessment reports.

Provides quick reference to penetration testing commands for network scanning, exploitation, password cracking, and web testing workflows, helping security professionals run tools like Nmap, Metasploit, Nikto, and SQLMap during assessments.
