A comprehensive guide to using k6 for robust performance and load testing across APIs, WebSockets, and browser scenarios. Learn to write realistic load simulations (smoke, load, stress, soak), analyze performance metrics, set SLAs, and integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines to ensure system reliability before deployment.

Opinionated Terraform workflow skill that guides module design, state/backend management, provider patterns, security hardening, policy-as-code checks, and CI/CD plan/apply flows so IaC stays modular, compliant, and reliable.

This guide details comprehensive methods for auditing Terraform infrastructure-as-code (IaC) against security misconfigurations. By leveraging industry-standard tools like Checkov, tfsec, Terrascan, and Open Policy Agent (OPA), users can detect critical vulnerabilities—such as overly permissive IAM policies, public resource exposure, and missing encryption—before cloud deployment. It is essential for integrating robust security gates into CI/CD pipelines and enforcing compliance standards.

This comprehensive guide details how to design and implement an end-to-end DevSecOps pipeline leveraging GitLab CI/CD. It integrates crucial automated security checks—such as SAST, DAST, container scanning, dependency scanning, and secret detection—directly into the development workflow. By adopting this approach, teams can effectively 'shift left' security, identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle to ensure compliance and robust application security.

DefectDojo is an open-source platform designed to centralize, aggregate, and manage security vulnerabilities. It integrates findings from over 200 security scanners (e.g., Nessus, ZAP, Trivy), automatically deduplicates results, tracks remediation progress, and provides executive-level dashboards. It supports robust workflows, including CI/CD pipeline integration and Jira ticketing, making it essential for DevSecOps practices and compliance adherence.

A comprehensive solution for identifying and preventing the accidental commitment of exposed AWS credentials, API keys, and session tokens within source code, configuration files, and git history. It integrates TruffleHog and git-secrets into CI/CD pipelines and pre-commit hooks, providing critical protection against credential theft and unauthorized cloud access in a DevSecOps environment. Essential for security auditing and compliance.

This tool scans GitHub Actions workflows and CI/CD configurations to identify critical supply chain attack vectors. It specifically checks for unpinned actions, risks from script injection using expressions, dependency confusion, and secrets exposure, helping organizations harden their build systems against sophisticated threats.

A comprehensive guide for authorized penetration testing on detecting and exploiting HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerabilities. It details analyzing discrepancies between Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding header parsing in multi-tier architectures (e.g., CDN, reverse proxy, load balancers). Learn techniques to bypass access controls, capture subsequent user requests, and escalate attacks in a controlled environment.

This guide details how to implement comprehensive API security testing using the 42Crunch platform. It performs static audits of OpenAPI specifications (API Audit) and dynamic vulnerability scanning (Conformance Scan) against live APIs. Supports integration into CI/CD pipelines to proactively discover OWASP API Top 10 vulnerabilities, enabling a Shift-Left security approach.

Learn how to implement robust container security by integrating the open-source Trivy scanner (from Aqua Security) into your CI/CD pipelines. This guide covers scanning container images, Kubernetes manifests, IaC files, and code repositories to detect critical vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, and generating Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for comprehensive supply chain security.

A comprehensive guide for integrating DevSecOps practices into CI/CD pipelines. It automates security testing by incorporating Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dependency/IaC Scanning (SCA), Secrets Detection, and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). Use this workflow to shift security left, enforce compliance, and establish security gates that block vulnerable deployments.

Learn how to integrate AFL++ (American Fuzzy Lop Plus Plus) into Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. This guide details the process of using coverage-guided fuzzing to discover critical vulnerabilities, such as memory corruption, input handling flaws, and logic bugs, in compiled C/C++ applications that process untrusted input.
