Skill UI

Expert skill in designing and implementing comprehensive observability stacks for enterprise microservices. Covers advanced monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana), distributed tracing (Jaeger, OpenTelemetry), centralized logging (ELK, Splunk), and defining SLIs/SLOs. Ideal for ensuring high availability, mastering incident response, and performing reliability engineering on large-scale, distributed applications.

Automates deployment and configuration of ELK, Loki, or Splunk log aggregation platforms by gathering requirements, crafting secure scalable configs, and producing deployment code for observability needs.

A comprehensive guide utilizing Splunk Enterprise Security and SPL to conduct deep forensic analysis of security incidents. This skill covers correlating disparate sources like Windows event logs, firewall records, proxy data, and Sysmon logs to detect TTPs, reconstruct timelines, and identify anomalies, making it essential for incident response and threat hunting.

A comprehensive toolkit using Splunk's SPL language to analyze Windows Security, System, and Sysmon event logs. It maps advanced detection queries to specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques, enabling SOC analysts to investigate authentication attacks (e.g., brute force, password spraying), detect privilege escalation, locate persistence mechanisms, and trace lateral movement for detailed forensic timeline analysis.

This skill guides the creation of automated workflows for enriching raw Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) with multi-source threat intelligence context. It is designed for integration into SOAR platforms (e.g., Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR) or Python pipelines. By automatically querying multiple sources like VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, and MISP, it significantly reduces analyst mean time to triage (MTTT) and standardizes the resulting threat context and confidence scoring.

This guide details how to write advanced correlation searches using Splunk's Search Processing Language (SPL). It covers techniques like threshold-based detection, sequence analysis, and anomaly detection to identify sophisticated security threats (e.g., brute force, data exfiltration, lateral movement) in a Security Operations Center (SOC) environment. Mastery of SPL is essential for closing SIEM detection gaps and ensuring compliance.

This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for building vendor-agnostic detection rules using the Sigma format. It empowers security operations center (SOC) engineers to translate raw threat intelligence and MITRE ATT&CK techniques into standardized, portable detection logic. The process guides users through rule validation and conversion into specific queries for major SIEM platforms, including Splunk, Elastic, and Microsoft Sentinel, ensuring robust detection coverage.

This skill facilitates the creation of real-time incident response dashboards across major SIEM platforms (Splunk, Elastic, Grafana). It provides SOC analysts and leadership with unified situational awareness by tracking affected systems, containment status, Indicators of Compromise (IOC) spread, and the entire incident response timeline, crucial for coordination and post-incident reporting.

This guide details the deployment and configuration of MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) using Docker. It demonstrates how to aggregate, correlate, and distribute threat intelligence from diverse sources like abuse.ch and AlienVault OTX. Learn automated feed synchronization, STIX/TAXII integration, and connecting the platform to SIEM and SOAR tools like Splunk and Elasticsearch for centralized IOC management.

This framework guides the systematic process of proactive threat hunting. It transforms raw threat intelligence and ATT&CK gap analyses into concrete, testable hypotheses. Users execute these hypotheses using industry-standard EDR/SIEM platforms (Splunk, CrowdStrike, Defender, etc.) to validate potential compromises, correlate activity, and document findings in a standardized report format.

A comprehensive guide to building automated Indicator of Compromise (IOC) enrichment pipelines within Splunk Enterprise Security. This process integrates multiple external threat feeds (STIX/TAXII, CSV, APIs) into normalized KV Store collections. By correlating these enriched threat indicators against live security events using advanced lookup searches, SOC teams can significantly reduce manual triage time and automatically identify potential security incidents.

Utilizes SIEM platforms (Splunk/Elastic) and Windows Event Log analysis (ID 4769) to detect indicators of Golden Ticket attacks. This skill analyzes Kerberos logs for specific anomalies such as RC4 encryption downgrades, abnormal ticket lifetimes, and correlation failures between TGT and TGS requests, crucial for advanced threat hunting in Active Directory environments.
