Guides authorized practitioners through Nmap, Masscan, Nessus, OpenVAS, Burp Suite, and OWASP ZAP for network discovery, vulnerability assessment, web application testing, wireless security, and compliance reporting across diverse environments.

This workflow guides SOC teams in establishing a comprehensive, structured process for vulnerability management. It utilizes major scanning tools (Nessus, Qualys, OpenVAS) to discover, prioritize, and track remediation of security weaknesses across the infrastructure. It integrates threat intelligence (CISA KEV) and asset criticality into risk scoring, ensuring resources are focused on the most critical threats.

Simulates advanced persistent threat (APT) activity across the entire cyber kill chain, from reconnaissance to data exfiltration. It evaluates an organization's detection, prevention, and response capabilities using MITRE ATT&CK-aligned techniques, moving beyond typical vulnerability scanning. Ideal for objective-based assessments and purple teaming.

This guide details the detection and exploitation of the critical MS17-010 (EternalBlue) vulnerability in SMBv1. It covers the full red-teaming lifecycle, including vulnerability scanning using Nmap and executing payloads via Metasploit. It is designed for authorized penetration testing and simulated adversary engagements against legacy Windows environments.

This comprehensive guide details the professional process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities using the powerful sqlmap tool. It covers the entire workflow, from initial vulnerability identification and basic scanning to database enumeration, data dumping, advanced exploitation (like file reading and OS command execution), and WAF bypass techniques, ensuring thorough penetration testing reporting.

This skill implements comprehensive API security testing using the 42Crunch platform. It combines static analysis (API Audit) on OpenAPI definitions, dynamic vulnerability scanning (API Conformance Scan) against running APIs, and runtime threat protection. Ideal for integrating OWASP API Security Top 10 checks into CI/CD pipelines and IDEs, enabling 'shift-left' security practices.

This guide provides comprehensive steps for deploying and configuring the Rapid7 InsightVM platform. It covers setting up the Security Console, deploying distributed Scan Engines, configuring various scan templates (e.g., CIS Policy, PCI ASV), and implementing deep credentialed scanning using WMI/SMB for thorough vulnerability visibility across enterprise environments. Use this when building robust security architectures or achieving compliance.

This guide details how to integrate Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools like CodeQL and Semgrep into your CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions. It covers setting up automated vulnerability detection on pull requests, tuning rules to minimize false positives, uploading SARIF results for centralized security reporting, and enforcing quality gates to prevent vulnerable code from merging into protected branches. Essential for DevSecOps and compliance (SOC 2, PCI DSS).

This skill covers performing comprehensive vulnerability assessments across diverse environments, including on-premises infrastructure, cloud VMs, and container registries. It leverages standard network protocols like SSH (Linux) and WMI (Windows), coupled with advanced cloud provider APIs for analyzing disk snapshots without requiring local endpoint agents. Ideal for security auditing and compliance checks.

This guide details how to use OpenVAS/Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM) to perform authenticated vulnerability scans. By utilizing valid credentials (SSH for Linux, SMB for Windows), scans can log into target systems, detecting deep local vulnerabilities, missing patches, and misconfigurations far beyond what unauthenticated scans can find. This is essential for comprehensive security assessments and compliance auditing.

This guide details authenticated (credentialed) vulnerability scanning, which uses valid system credentials (SSH keys, domain passwords, etc.) to log into target hosts. Unlike external scanning, credentialed methods allow deep inspection of installed patches, local configurations, registry keys, and system files across diverse platforms (Linux, Windows, Network Devices). This significantly increases vulnerability detection rates and reduces false positives for comprehensive security assessments.

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.
