This skill details the architecture and implementation of an automated Indicator of Compromise (IOC) enrichment pipeline using OpenCTI. It demonstrates how to connect OpenCTI to various external threat intelligence services (like VirusTotal, Shodan, AbuseIPDB) to automatically gather context, correlate indicators, and assign confidence scores. This is crucial for enhancing security monitoring and prioritizing threats for cyber analysts.

This skill outlines a comprehensive, structured workflow for managing Microsoft Patch Tuesday security updates. It covers the entire lifecycle, from initial vulnerability triage and risk assessment to testing, staged deployment (Pilot, Production Rings), and final validation, ensuring compliance with risk-based remediation SLAs.

This framework provides a systematic methodology for cybersecurity professionals to transform raw threat intelligence, observed attack patterns, and environmental telemetry into verifiable, testable hunting hypotheses. It guides the end-to-end process, from hypothesis formulation and data identification across SIEM/EDR systems, to deep correlation and reporting, enabling proactive threat detection and scope assessment.

This guide details advanced techniques for authorized security assessments, focusing on forced browsing. It helps testers discover hidden administrative pages, unprotected APIs, and configuration files by systematically enumerating URLs and challenging application access control mechanisms. Techniques involve using tools like ffuf and Gobuster for comprehensive path and directory discovery.

This skill provides comprehensive methods for collecting and synthesizing Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) regarding threat actors, malicious infrastructure, and attack campaigns. It utilizes public data sources, passive reconnaissance tools (like WHOIS, Certificate Transparency), and specialized platforms (Maltego, Shodan, SpiderFoot) to map adversary context and perform pre-engagement intelligence gathering for authorized red team assessments. Emphasis is placed on passive collection techniques to ensure legality and operational security.

This skill details the advanced technique of DCSync, which exploits the Microsoft Directory Replication Service Remote Protocol (MS-DRSR) to impersonate a Domain Controller. It is primarily used in authorized red-teaming and penetration testing to dump sensitive credentials, extract the KRBTGT hash, and ultimately forge Golden Tickets, establishing deep domain persistence. Ideal for security auditors and offensive security professionals.

This guide details the methodology for conducting internal network penetration tests, simulating an attacker operating from an assumed breach state. It covers initial network reconnaissance, Active Directory enumeration, advanced credential harvesting techniques (e.g., Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash), and lateral movement exploitation to determine the full blast radius of a potential breach. Essential for comprehensive security auditing.

This guide details the comprehensive workflow for conducting memory forensics using Volatility 3. It covers the entire incident response lifecycle, from acquiring raw RAM dumps to analyzing processes, detecting rootkits, investigating network connections, and extracting sensitive artifacts like credentials and injected code. Essential for live memory analysis in cybersecurity investigations.

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.

A comprehensive guide for conducting authorized wireless network penetration tests. This skill assesses the overall security posture of WiFi infrastructure, covering weak encryption protocols, captive portal bypasses, Evil Twin attacks, WPA2/WPA3 handshake capture, and rogue access point detection. It evaluates wireless authentication methods, network segmentation, and the effectiveness of WIDS/WIPS systems.

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.
