A guide for security professionals and threat hunters to proactively detect advanced privilege escalation techniques across Windows and Linux environments. It covers critical attack methods including token manipulation, UAC bypass, unquoted service paths, and kernel exploits, utilizing EDR and SIEM data sources for comprehensive incident response and security assessments.

This skill automates the hardening of Linux endpoints (Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS) by implementing industry-standard security best practices guided by CIS Benchmarks. It systematically secures various layers, including filesystem permissions, network parameters (sysctl), SSH configuration, user access controls (PAM), and integrates deep auditing using auditd and OpenSCAP. It is essential for achieving compliance with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

This skill guides the implementation of File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) using AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment). It covers setting up AIDE configurations, creating initial baselines, performing scheduled integrity checks, and parsing detailed change reports. This is essential for maintaining strong security controls, meeting compliance requirements, and detecting unauthorized system modifications on Linux environments.

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.

LaZagne is an open-source post-exploitation tool utilized by red teams to harvest stored credentials from compromised endpoints. It supports Windows, Linux, and macOS, extracting passwords from browsers (Chrome, Edge), databases (MySQL, SQLite), system vaults (DPAPI, LSA), and various applications. It is crucial for privilege escalation and lateral movement during authorized security assessments.

This guide provides a comprehensive methodology for performing directory traversal and path traversal testing on web applications. It covers identifying file path parameters, executing basic payloads (Linux/Windows), bypassing common security filters using encoding (URL, double, UTF-8), and automating the process with tools like ffuf and dotdotpwn. It also details advanced steps for local file inclusion (LFI) and potential escalation to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via log poisoning.

This comprehensive guide details how to perform deep forensic analysis on various Linux system logs (auth.log, syslog, systemd journal, audit.log). It teaches methods to reconstruct user activity, identify unauthorized access attempts, trace privilege escalation, and establish comprehensive event timelines following a security incident or during a security audit.

A comprehensive guide for cybersecurity professionals detailing the process of collecting, parsing, and correlating system, application, and security logs (Windows EVTX, Linux syslog, web logs). It helps reconstruct event timelines, identify breach activity, and establish evidence for forensic reports.

This automated toolkit streamlines memory forensics using the Volatility3 framework. It is designed to analyze raw memory dumps from Windows, Linux, and macOS, revealing complex threats such as process injection, hidden rootkits, malicious code artifacts, and illicit network connections that traditional disk-based methods cannot detect. Essential for real-time incident response and deep security auditing.

This skill covers advanced techniques used in red teaming and penetration testing to elevate privileges from a low-level user to root access on a compromised Linux system. It details how to enumerate and exploit various vectors, including SUID/SGID binaries, misconfigured sudo rules, kernel vulnerabilities (e.g., Dirty Pipe), Cron job abuse, and abusing system services. Essential for comprehensive security assessments.
