A comprehensive guide for collecting, parsing, and correlating system, application, and security logs from diverse sources (Windows, Linux, Web). This technique is crucial for reconstructing detailed event timelines, identifying initial access vectors, tracking lateral movement, and establishing evidence of unauthorized activity during post-breach forensic investigations.

This guide provides a comprehensive methodology for auditing essential HTTP security headers, including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy. It helps identify missing or improperly configured browser-level protections, crucial for mitigating vulnerabilities like XSS, clickjacking, and mixed content issues, ensuring compliance with standards like PCI DSS and SOC 2.

This tool performs comprehensive security testing on SOAP web services. It analyzes WSDL definitions to identify available methods and then tests for critical XML-related vulnerabilities, including XXE, XPath injection, XML bombs, and WS-Security bypass. It is designed for automated penetration testing of enterprise-level SOAP APIs.

This skill covers the technical process of setting up SSL/TLS inspection (decryption) on next-generation firewalls and proxies. It details how to act as a trusted Man-in-the-Middle to intercept, decrypt, and inspect encrypted HTTPS traffic for malicious payloads, data exfiltration, and policy violations. The workflow includes generating internal Certificate Authority (CA) certificates and deploying them across various operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) to ensure visibility into the web's encrypted blind spot.

This guide details advanced techniques for bypassing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs). It covers methods such as payload obfuscation, advanced URL encoding, HTTP method manipulation (PUT, PATCH, etc.), parameter pollution, and utilizing specialized tools like SQLMap tamper scripts to smuggle exploit payloads (e.g., SQLi, XSS) past perimeter security controls. Essential for penetration testing and red team engagements.

A comprehensive guide for performing systematic security assessments on web applications. Following the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG), this process identifies critical vulnerabilities such as broken authentication, authorization flaws (IDOR), SQL injection, and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The workflow covers reconnaissance, mapping, and advanced testing techniques using tools like Burp Suite and sqlmap, ensuring deep coverage beyond automated scanner capabilities. Ideal for pre-production security validation and compliance audits.

Nikto is a powerful, open-source web server and web application scanner designed for comprehensive vulnerability assessment. It tests over 7,000 potentially dangerous files and checks for critical issues like XSS, SQL injection, outdated versions, and misconfigurations across modern web applications. Ideal for security audit, penetration testing, and validating web server security controls.

This tool provides a structured methodology for triaging web application security findings generated by DAST and SAST scanners (e.g., Burp Suite, ZAP). It validates true positives, dismisses false positives, and assigns risk ratings using the OWASP Risk Rating Methodology (Risk = Likelihood x Impact). Use it to reduce alert fatigue and prioritize remediation efforts for development teams, ensuring focus on the most critical vulnerabilities.

A comprehensive guide for security professionals detailing how to exploit web cache mechanisms (CDNs, reverse proxies) to inject malicious content. It covers identifying caching layers, discovering unkeyed headers (like X-Forwarded-Host), and executing poisoning attacks for authorized penetration testing.

This skill demonstrates how to secure AWS API Gateway endpoints using AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall). It implements essential security measures including protection against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, custom rate-limiting rules, IP reputation filtering, and bot control. Ideal for deploying public API endpoints that require robust defense against common web attacks and API abuse.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide and methodology for identifying and exploiting Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) misconfigurations in web applications. It covers testing origin validation bypasses, analyzing preflight requests, and simulating data exfiltration during authorized penetration tests, crucial for assessing API security.

A comprehensive guide for systematically assessing web applications and APIs for broken access control vulnerabilities (OWASP A01:2021). The methodology covers role-based access control (RBAC) auditing, horizontal and vertical privilege escalation, and multi-tenant data leakage using tools like Burp Suite, ffuf, and custom scripts. Essential for authorized penetration testing and security audits.
