This skill guides the implementation and maintenance of compliance controls for North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards. It covers key areas including asset categorization (CIP-002), electronic security perimeters (CIP-005), system security management (CIP-007), and supply chain risk management. Use this when auditing, updating, or establishing compliance measures for Bulk Electric System (BES) cyber assets.

In-toto is a CNCF standard project used to verify the integrity of software supply chains. It generates cryptographically signed attestations (link metadata) at every stage of the CI/CD pipeline, proving exactly what artifacts were produced and who authorized the process. This is crucial for securing container builds and ensuring compliance against tampering.

This skill demonstrates how to use Trivy, an open-source security scanner, to perform comprehensive container security assessments. It scans container images, Kubernetes manifests, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) files for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed secrets, and license compliance issues. Key features include generating Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for supply chain transparency and integrating scanning gates into CI/CD pipelines, supporting robust DevSecOps practices.

A comprehensive guide for analyzing firmware images from embedded systems, IoT devices, routers, and specialized components like UEFI/BIOS. This skill covers advanced techniques including filesystem extraction, binary reverse engineering (using Ghidra/IDA), rootkit detection, and deep forensic analysis to uncover backdoors, implants, and supply chain compromises. Essential for cybersecurity professionals investigating compromised hardware.

This skill details implementing Software Composition Analysis (SCA) using Snyk. It helps security teams detect known vulnerabilities, check license compliance, and automate dependency remediation within CI/CD pipelines. Learn to integrate scanning into GitHub, GitLab, and Jenkins workflows, generate automated fix PRs, and continuously monitor deployed applications to safeguard the software supply chain.

This skill simulates and detects critical software supply chain attacks, including typosquatting via Levenshtein distance, dependency confusion detection against private registries, and package integrity verification using SHA-256 hashing. It also performs comprehensive vulnerability scanning against known CVEs using pip-audit. It is essential for security assessments, compliance audits, and incident response when validating software component trustworthiness.

Grype is an open-source vulnerability scanner from Anchore. It inspects container images, filesystems, and SBOMs for known CVEs. It leverages Syft-generated SBOMs to match packages against multiple vulnerability databases (NVD, GitHub Advisories). Use it for security assessments, auditing, and integrating into CI/CD pipelines to enforce vulnerability standards and manage supply chain risks.

This skill guides the implementation of comprehensive security controls for container registries. It details workflows for vulnerability scanning using Trivy and Grype, generating Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) with Syft, and enforcing image authenticity using Cosign and Sigstore. It is essential for building robust CI/CD pipelines and preventing supply chain attacks by ensuring only scanned, signed, and compliant images are deployed.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on hardening GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines against modern supply chain attacks, credential theft, and privilege escalation. It teaches best practices such as pinning actions to immutable SHA digests, minimizing GITHUB_TOKEN permissions, preventing script injection from untrusted inputs, and implementing required approval gates for critical deployments.

This tool parses Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in CycloneDX and SPDX formats. It correlates components against the NVD CVE database to identify known supply chain vulnerabilities. Key features include building dependency graphs, calculating transitive risk scores, and generating compliance reports for regulatory assessment.

This tool detects malicious packages mimicking legitimate dependencies in npm and PyPI. It analyzes package names using Levenshtein distance, examines publish date heuristics, and identifies download count anomalies to secure the software supply chain. Ideal for auditing project dependencies and proactively monitoring for supply chain threats.

This guide details how to implement secure, keyless software signing using the Sigstore ecosystem components (Cosign, Fulcio, Rekor). It establishes cryptographic provenance for container images and binaries by binding identity via OIDC, ensuring verifiable integrity and tamper-proofing throughout the CI/CD supply chain.
