What's on the bench.
Exploiting JWT Algorithm Confusion Attack
Exploits JWT algorithm confusion vulnerabilities where the server's token verification library accepts the algorithm specified in the JWT header rather than enforcing a fixed algorithm. The tester manipulates the alg header to switch from RS256 to HS256 (using the RSA public key as the HMAC secret), sets alg to none to bypass signature verification, or exploits kid/jku/x5u header injection to supply attacker-controlled keys. Activates for requests involving JWT algorithm confusion, alg none attack, key confusion attack, or JWT signature bypass.
Exploiting Ipv6 Vulnerabilities
Identifies and exploits IPv6-specific vulnerabilities including SLAAC spoofing, Router Advertisement flooding, and IPv6 tunneling during authorized assessments to test dual-stack security controls and IPv6-aware network defenses.
Exploiting Insecure Deserialization
Identifying and exploiting insecure deserialization vulnerabilities in Java, PHP, Python, and .NET applications to achieve remote code execution during authorized penetration tests.
Exploiting Insecure Data Storage In Mobile
Identifies and exploits insecure local data storage vulnerabilities in Android and iOS mobile applications including unencrypted databases, world-readable files, insecure SharedPreferences, plaintext credential storage, and improper keychain/keystore usage. Use when performing mobile penetration testing focused on OWASP M9 (Insecure Data Storage) or assessing compliance with MASVS-STORAGE requirements. Activates for requests involving mobile data storage security, local storage exploitation, SharedPreferences analysis, or mobile data leakage assessment.
Exploiting Idor Vulnerabilities
Identifying and exploiting Insecure Direct Object Reference vulnerabilities to access unauthorized resources by manipulating object identifiers in API requests and URLs.
Exploiting HTTP Request Smuggling
Detecting and exploiting HTTP request smuggling vulnerabilities caused by Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding parsing discrepancies between front-end and back-end servers.
Exploiting Excessive Data Exposure In API
Tests APIs for excessive data exposure where endpoints return more data than the client application needs, relying on the frontend to filter sensitive fields. The tester intercepts API responses and analyzes them for leaked PII, internal identifiers, debug information, or sensitive business data that the UI does not display but the API transmits. This maps to OWASP API3:2023 Broken Object Property Level Authorization. Activates for requests involving API data leakage testing, excessive data exposure, response filtering bypass, or API over-fetching.
Exploiting Deeplink Vulnerabilities
Tests and exploits deep link (URL scheme and App Link) vulnerabilities in Android and iOS mobile applications to identify unauthorized access, data injection, intent hijacking, and redirect manipulation. Use when assessing mobile app attack surface through custom URI schemes, Android App Links, iOS Universal Links, or intent-based navigation. Activates for requests involving deep link security testing, URL scheme exploitation, mobile intent abuse, or link hijacking.
Exploiting Constrained Delegation Abuse
Exploit Kerberos Constrained Delegation misconfigurations in Active Directory to impersonate privileged users via S4U2self and S4U2proxy extensions for lateral movement and privilege escalation.
Exploiting Broken Link Hijacking
Discover and exploit broken link hijacking vulnerabilities by identifying references to expired domains, decommissioned cloud resources, and dead external services that can be claimed by an attacker.
Exploiting Broken Function Level Authorization
Tests APIs for Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA) vulnerabilities where regular users can invoke administrative functions or access privileged API endpoints by directly calling them. The tester identifies admin and privileged endpoints, then attempts to access them with regular user credentials by manipulating HTTP methods, URL paths, and request parameters. Maps to OWASP API5:2023 Broken Function Level Authorization. Activates for requests involving BFLA testing, admin endpoint bypass, function-level access control testing, or API privilege escalation.
Exploiting Bgp Hijacking Vulnerabilities
Analyzes and simulates BGP hijacking scenarios in authorized lab environments to assess route origin validation, RPKI deployment, and BGP monitoring defenses against prefix hijacking and route leak attacks on internet routing infrastructure.
Exploiting API Injection Vulnerabilities
Tests APIs for injection vulnerabilities including SQL injection, NoSQL injection, OS command injection, LDAP injection, and Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) through API parameters, headers, and request bodies. The tester crafts malicious payloads targeting different backend technologies and injection contexts to extract data, execute commands, or access internal services. Maps to OWASP API8:2023 Security Misconfiguration and API7:2023 SSRF. Activates for requests involving API injection testing, SQLi in APIs, NoSQL injection, SSRF testing, or API input validation assessment.
Exploiting Active Directory Certificate Services Esc1
Exploit misconfigured Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) ESC1 vulnerability to request certificates as high-privileged users and escalate domain privileges during authorized red team assessments.
Executing Phishing Simulation Campaign
Executes authorized phishing simulation campaigns to assess an organization's susceptibility to email-based social engineering attacks. The tester designs realistic phishing scenarios, builds credential harvesting infrastructure, sends targeted phishing emails, and tracks open rates, click-through rates, and credential submission rates to measure human security awareness. Activates for requests involving phishing simulation, social engineering assessment, email security testing, or security awareness measurement.
Evaluating Threat Intelligence Platforms
Evaluates and selects Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) products based on organizational requirements including feed integration capability, STIX/TAXII support, workflow automation, analyst interface, and total cost of ownership. Use when conducting a TIP procurement, migrating between TIP solutions, or assessing whether the current TIP meets program maturity requirements. Activates for requests involving ThreatConnect, MISP, OpenCTI, Anomali, EclecticIQ, or TIP procurement decisions.
Eradicating Malware From Infected Systems
Systematically remove malware, backdoors, and attacker persistence mechanisms from infected systems while ensuring complete eradication and preventing re-infection.
Detecting Wmi Persistence
Detect WMI event subscription persistence by analyzing Sysmon Event IDs 19, 20, and 21 for malicious EventFilter, EventConsumer, and FilterToConsumerBinding creation.
Detecting Typosquatting Packages In npm Pypi
Detects typosquatting attacks in npm and PyPI package registries by analyzing package name similarity using Levenshtein distance and other string metrics, examining publish date heuristics to identify recently created packages mimicking established ones, and flagging download count anomalies where suspicious packages have disproportionately low usage compared to their legitimate targets. The analyst queries the PyPI JSON API and npm registry API to gather package metadata for automated comparison. Activates for requests involving package typosquatting detection, dependency confusion analysis, malicious package identification, or software supply chain threat hunting in package registries.
Detecting T1548 Abuse Elevation Control Mechanism
Detect abuse of elevation control mechanisms including UAC bypass, sudo exploitation, and setuid/setgid manipulation by monitoring registry modifications, process elevation flags, and unusual parent-child process relationships.
Detecting T1055 Process Injection With Sysmon
Detect process injection techniques (T1055) including classic DLL injection, process hollowing, and APC injection by analyzing Sysmon events for cross-process memory operations, remote thread creation, and anomalous DLL loading patterns.
Detecting T1003 Credential Dumping With Edr
Detect OS credential dumping techniques targeting LSASS memory, SAM database, NTDS.dit, and cached credentials using EDR telemetry, Sysmon process access monitoring, and Windows security event correlation.
Detecting Suspicious Powershell Execution
Detect suspicious PowerShell execution patterns including encoded commands, download cradles, AMSI bypass attempts, and constrained language mode evasion.
