This guide details comprehensive detection methods for DCSync attacks (MITRE T1003.006) in Active Directory. Attackers abuse legitimate directory replication protocols to extract sensitive password hashes. Detection relies on auditing Windows Event ID 4662 for unauthorized access attempts to critical Directory Service GUIDs, specifically flagging non-domain-controller accounts attempting replication calls. Essential for threat hunting and incident response.

A comprehensive guide for detecting Kerberoasting attacks by monitoring for anomalous Kerberos TGS requests (Event ID 4769). This technique targets service accounts with Service Principal Names (SPNs), which are requested offline by attackers to crack service account passwords. Use this during threat hunting or incident response to scope MITRE T1558 credential access activities in Active Directory environments.

This guide details the exploitation of the critical Zerologon vulnerability (CVE-2020-1472) in Active Directory Domain Controllers. It demonstrates the methodology for resetting the DC machine account password to empty, achieving full domain compromise. Subsequent steps include dumping domain credentials using DCSync. Essential for authorized red-teaming and security validation.

This skill guides the security hardening of Windows endpoints (10/11, Server 2019/2022) using established CIS Benchmarks. It provides a comprehensive workflow for establishing secure organizational baselines, configuring Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and enforcing security controls across critical areas like password policies, audit logs, and firewall rules. It is essential for achieving compliance with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

This skill provides structured methods for detecting credential stuffing attacks by analyzing authentication logs. It focuses on identifying complex patterns such as login velocity anomalies, high IP diversity, password spray techniques, and suspicious geographical distributions of failed logins. It is essential for SOC analysts conducting threat hunting or building robust detection rules against account takeover attempts.

This skill guides the secure implementation of AES-256 in GCM mode (FIPS 197) for protecting files and data stores at rest. It covers best practices for key derivation from passwords (using PBKDF2/Argon2), proper management of initialization vectors (IVs)/nonces, and applying authenticated encryption (AEAD) to detect tampering. Use this when establishing robust security controls or performing security assessments.

This guide details the implementation of advanced, phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication using Microsoft Entra ID. It covers configuring FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello for Business, and passkey support via Microsoft Authenticator. Use this skill to eliminate reliance on passwords, mitigate credential stuffing attacks, and satisfy strict regulatory mandates for modern identity access management.

Implement robust, phishing-resistant authentication using FIDO2/WebAuthn standards. This guide covers integrating WebAuthn APIs, configuring FIDO2 servers, managing passkey enrollment, and migrating systems away from traditional passwords. Essential for meeting high-assurance security standards like NIST SP 800-63B AAL3.

This skill guides the implementation of Gitleaks for robust secret scanning across development lifecycles. It covers setting up pre-commit hooks to prevent secrets from being committed, integrating scanning into CI/CD pipelines (like GitHub Actions), and writing custom regex rules to detect and remediate hardcoded credentials (API keys, passwords, tokens) in Git history, ensuring adherence to secure SDLC practices.

This skill guides the integration of gitleaks and trufflehog into CI/CD pipelines. It automates the detection of hardcoded secrets, such as API keys, passwords, and tokens, preventing their accidental deployment. By integrating scans as a mandatory pre-deployment gate, organizations enforce strong security policies and maintain compliance.

This skill implements advanced cryptographic techniques, including the Schnorr identification protocol and a simplified Zero-Knowledge Password Proof (ZKPP). It enables a prover to authenticate by demonstrating knowledge of a secret without ever revealing the underlying password or private key to the server. Ideal for building secure, password-less systems or environments where server compliance mandates that user credentials are never stored or transmitted in plain form.

This skill is designed for implementing and managing user verification workflows within a Laravel PHP framework. It facilitates processes such as email confirmation, password reset validation, and ensuring data integrity for secure application access. It is essential for robust web backend development.
