Pod Security Admission (PSA) is a built-in Kubernetes admission controller designed to enforce Pod Security Standards (Baseline, Restricted, Privileged) at the namespace level. It serves as a crucial replacement for the deprecated PodSecurityPolicy (PSP), allowing users to implement robust security controls and maintain compliance. By applying specific labels, administrators can set enforcement modes (enforce, audit, warn) to harden container environments against unauthorized privilege escalation and security risks.

A comprehensive guide to securing Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). It teaches best practices for implementing least-privilege policies, eliminating excessive cluster-admin bindings, utilizing namespace-scoped roles, and integrating external identity providers (OIDC) to mitigate risks like privilege escalation and unauthorized data access.

BloodHound is an open-source reconnaissance tool that leverages graph theory to analyze Active Directory relationships. This guide details the process of collecting AD data using SharpHound and visualizing complex attack paths. It helps identify potential privilege escalation chains, trust abuses, and misconfigurations necessary for an attacker to move from a low-privilege user account to Domain Admin, making it essential for advanced red-teaming and security auditing.

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 skill guides users on performing deep runtime threat detection and forensics in cloud-native environments using Falco. It leverages Falco YAML rules to monitor syscalls, detecting critical security events such as shell spawning, file tampering (e.g., /etc/shadow), network anomalies, and privilege escalation within containers and Kubernetes clusters. Ideal for incident response, security auditing, and validating container runtime security controls.

A comprehensive guide and workflow for performing authorized penetration testing on AWS environments using the open-source Pacu framework. This skill covers enumerating IAM configurations, identifying privilege escalation paths, testing credential harvesting, and validating security controls across S3, EC2, Lambda, and Secrets Manager. It is designed for red team exercises and risk assessment when auditing cloud infrastructure security.

LaZagne is an open-source post-exploitation tool utilized by red teams to harvest stored credentials from compromised endpoints. It supports Windows, Linux, and macOS, extracting passwords from browsers (Chrome, Edge), databases (MySQL, SQLite), system vaults (DPAPI, LSA), and various applications. It is crucial for privilege escalation and lateral movement during authorized security assessments.

This skill guides comprehensive Google Cloud Platform (GCP) security auditing. It uses GCPBucketBrute for enumerating storage buckets and testing access permissions. Furthermore, it analyzes gcloud IAM bindings to detect overly permissive roles, identify service account key exposure, and map potential privilege escalation paths, ensuring robust security assessment for cloud environments.

This comprehensive guide details how to perform deep forensic analysis on various Linux system logs (auth.log, syslog, systemd journal, audit.log). It teaches methods to reconstruct user activity, identify unauthorized access attempts, trace privilege escalation, and establish comprehensive event timelines following a security incident or during a security audit.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for performing privilege escalation assessments post-initial compromise. It guides testers in identifying paths from low-privilege access to root or SYSTEM-level control on both Linux and Windows operating systems. Techniques covered include abusing SUID binaries, exploiting misconfigured services, leveraging kernel vulnerabilities, and harvesting credentials.

This skill covers advanced techniques used in red teaming and penetration testing to elevate privileges from a low-level user to root access on a compromised Linux system. It details how to enumerate and exploit various vectors, including SUID/SGID binaries, misconfigured sudo rules, kernel vulnerabilities (e.g., Dirty Pipe), Cron job abuse, and abusing system services. Essential for comprehensive security assessments.

Kubesec is a powerful open-source tool designed to perform comprehensive security risk analysis on Kubernetes resource manifests (YAML/JSON). It automatically detects critical misconfigurations, potential privilege escalation vectors, and deviations from industry security best practices. It provides actionable scoring and hardening recommendations, making it essential for CI/CD pipelines, security auditing, and automated compliance checks.
