This skill guides the deployment and implementation of Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) platforms. It provides a continuous, automated method to validate security control effectiveness against real-world attacker techniques mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Use this when moving beyond traditional point-in-time penetration testing to establish continuous control validation and automated adversary emulation across the entire IT environment.

This guide details how to implement coverage-guided fuzz testing using AFL++ within CI/CD pipelines. It covers building the fuzzing harness, utilizing advanced instrumentation (like AddressSanitizer), and configuring automated runs to discover memory corruption and input handling vulnerabilities in compiled applications. Ideal for strengthening DevSecOps practices and ensuring code reliability.

Provides a structured, risk-based framework for managing patches in Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). It addresses the critical difference between IT and OT environments, prioritizing safety and availability over immediate remediation. The guide covers risk scoring, vendor compatibility testing, staged deployment, and defining compensating controls for unpatchable assets.

This guide details the systematic workflow for patch management, covering the entire lifecycle from vulnerability discovery and risk assessment to controlled testing, multi-phased deployment, and final verification. Learn how to integrate tools like WSUS, SCCM, and Ansible into a robust, automated process to significantly reduce the attack surface and ensure compliance across enterprise IT infrastructure.

This guide details implementing Policy-as-Code using Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Gatekeeper. It covers writing complex Rego policies, deploying OPA Gatekeeper as a Kubernetes admission controller, and integrating policy testing into CI/CD pipelines to enforce security standards across clusters. Ideal for DevSecOps practitioners requiring robust governance.

This guide details how to integrate OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab) for comprehensive Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). It covers configuring baseline, full, and API scans to identify common vulnerabilities like XSS, SQLi, and CSRF in running web applications and REST/GraphQL APIs, ensuring security quality gates in the development lifecycle.

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 comprehensive guide details the methodology for Active Directory (AD) penetration testing. It covers deep domain enumeration, utilizing tools like BloodHound and Impacket, and executing advanced attacks such as Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, and privilege escalation via delegation abuse. Use this when conducting authorized security assessments to discover and exploit misconfigurations to achieve domain compromise.

A comprehensive security assessment guide and script to test API rate limit vulnerabilities. It evaluates if an API's security controls can be bypassed using advanced techniques such as IP spoofing (manipulating X-Forwarded-For headers), HTTP method variations, and endpoint path traversal. Designed for penetration testing, it helps assess resilience against brute-force or resource exhaustion attacks, aligning with OWASP API Top 10 findings.

This skill simulates Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks and ARP cache poisoning using advanced tools like Ettercap and Scapy. It is designed exclusively for authorized, controlled lab environments or penetration tests. Use cases include validating the efficacy of Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), assessing port security mechanisms, and testing whether IDS/IPS or SIEM systems detect Layer 2 spoofing attempts.

This guide details how to configure and execute deep, authenticated vulnerability scans using OpenVAS/Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM). By utilizing valid credentials (SSH, SMB, or ESXi), users can log into target systems to detect local vulnerabilities, missing security patches, and misconfigurations, which are typically missed by unauthenticated scans. Essential for professional security auditing and penetration testing.

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.
