This guide details advanced techniques used in red teaming and penetration testing to elevate user privileges from a low-level account to root access on a compromised Linux system. It covers exploiting misconfigurations, vulnerable services (like SUID/SGID binaries), improper sudo rules, kernel vulnerabilities (e.g., Dirty Pipe), and abuse of system services like Cron jobs and Systemd. Essential for authorized security assessments.

This skill provides a comprehensive method for assessing SSL/TLS server configurations using the powerful Python library, sslyze. It evaluates crucial security aspects including supported protocol versions (e.g., TLS 1.2, 1.3), cipher suite strength, certificate chain validity, HSTS enforcement, and checks for common vulnerabilities like Heartbleed and ROBOT. Ideal for penetration testing, security auditing, and incident response.

This tool is designed for security professionals to test for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities. It systematically probes user-controllable URL parameters to identify access to internal network services, cloud metadata endpoints (AWS/GCP/Azure), and restricted local resources. It supports various payload techniques, including protocol handlers (gopher, file), IP encoding, and DNS rebinding, making it essential for thorough security assessments and penetration testing.

Use ProjectDiscovery’s Subfinder to passively enumerate target domains’ subdomains, configure API sources, and stream results to httpx/dnsx/nuclei for validation, rate control, and attack-surface mapping during penetration tests or bug bounty reconnaissance.

This guide details a comprehensive methodology for penetration testing desktop (thick client) applications. It covers static and dynamic analysis, focusing on identifying vulnerabilities such as hardcoded credentials, insecure local storage, DLL hijacking, memory manipulation, and API communication flaws. Tools like dnSpy, Procmon, and Burp Suite are utilized for in-depth security auditing of enterprise and banking software.

Simulates VLAN hopping via switch spoofing, double-tagging and VTP techniques within authorized penetration tests to validate segmentation, DTP handling, and switch security configurations before sensitive deployments.

Techniques for bypassing Web Application Firewalls using encoding, HTTP tricks, payload splitting, and SQLMap tamper scripts to deliver SQLi and XSS payloads during penetration tests and red-team engagements.

Guides systematic OWASP WSTG web app penetration tests using Burp Suite plus manual techniques to uncover authentication, authorization, input validation, session, and business logic vulnerabilities for compliance and preproduction assurance.

Guides authorized penetration testers through identifying caching layers, discovering unkeyed headers with Burp Suite and curl, and poisoning CDN or reverse proxy caches to assess cache-based vulnerabilities.

Guides security teams through end-to-end wireless network penetration testing—scanning 802.11 bands, capturing WPA handshakes, cracking credentials, deploying rogue APs, and validating segmentation and client isolation with Aircrack-ng, Hashcat, Bettercap and supporting tools.

Instrument iOS apps with Frida to reverse engineer binaries, inspect Objective-C/Swift runtime flows, extract secrets, and evaluate or bypass security controls during authorized mobile penetration testing.

A comprehensive guide to advanced network reconnaissance using Nmap. This skill covers multi-stage asset discovery, deep service enumeration, vulnerability scanning via the Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE), and advanced evasion techniques (e.g., fragmentation, decoys). It is designed for authorized penetration testing and thorough assessment of enterprise infrastructure.
