What's on the bench.
Hunting For Defense Evasion Via Timestomping
Detect NTFS timestamp manipulation (MITRE T1070.006) by comparing $STANDARD_INFORMATION vs $FILE_NAME timestamps in the MFT. Uses analyzeMFT and Python to identify files with anomalous temporal patterns indicating anti-forensic timestomping activity.
Hunting For Dcsync Attacks
Detect DCSync attacks by analyzing Windows Event ID 4662 for unauthorized DS-Replication-Get-Changes requests from non-domain-controller accounts.
Hunting For Dcom Lateral Movement
Hunt for DCOM-based lateral movement by detecting abuse of MMC20.Application, ShellBrowserWindow, and ShellWindows COM objects through Sysmon Event ID 1 (process creation) and Event ID 3 (network connection) correlation, WMI event analysis, RPC endpoint mapper traffic on port 135, and DCOM-specific parent-child process relationships.
Hunting For Data Staging Before Exfiltration
Detect data staging activity before exfiltration by monitoring for archive creation with 7-Zip/RAR, unusual temp folder access, large file consolidation, and staging directory patterns via EDR and process telemetry
Hunting For Data Exfiltration Indicators
Hunt for data exfiltration through network traffic analysis, detecting unusual data flows, DNS tunneling, cloud storage uploads, and encrypted channel abuse.
Hunting For Command And Control Beaconing
Detect C2 beaconing patterns in network traffic using frequency analysis, jitter detection, and domain reputation to identify compromised endpoints communicating with adversary infrastructure.
Hunting For Cobalt Strike Beacons
Detect Cobalt Strike beacon network activity using default TLS certificate signatures (serial 8BB00EE), JA3/JA3S/JARM fingerprints, HTTP C2 profile pattern matching, beacon jitter analysis, and named pipe detection via Zeek, Suricata, and Python PCAP analysis.
Hunting For Beaconing With Frequency Analysis
Identify command-and-control beaconing patterns in network traffic by applying statistical frequency analysis, jitter calculation, and coefficient of variation scoring to detect periodic callbacks from compromised endpoints.
Hunting For Anomalous Powershell Execution
Hunt for malicious PowerShell activity by analyzing Script Block Logging (Event 4104), Module Logging (Event 4103), and process creation events. The analyst parses Windows Event Log EVTX files to detect obfuscated commands, AMSI bypass attempts, encoded payloads, credential dumping keywords, and suspicious download cradles. Activates for requests involving PowerShell threat hunting, script block analysis, encoded command detection, or AMSI bypass identification.
Hunting Credential Stuffing Attacks
Detects credential stuffing attacks by analyzing authentication logs for login velocity anomalies, ASN diversity, password spray patterns, and geographic distribution of failed logins. Uses statistical analysis on Splunk or raw log data. Use when investigating account takeover campaigns or building detection rules for auth abuse.
Hunting Advanced Persistent Threats
Proactively hunts for Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) activity within enterprise environments using hypothesis-driven searches across endpoint telemetry, network logs, and memory artifacts. Use when conducting scheduled threat hunting cycles, investigating anomalous behavior flagged by UEBA, or validating that known APT TTPs are not present in the environment. Activates for requests involving MITRE ATT&CK, Velociraptor, osquery, Zeek, or threat hunting playbooks.
Hardening Windows Endpoint With Cis Benchmark
Hardens Windows endpoints using CIS (Center for Internet Security) Benchmark recommendations to reduce attack surface, enforce security baselines, and meet compliance requirements. Use when deploying new Windows workstations or servers, remediating audit findings, or establishing organization-wide security baselines. Activates for requests involving Windows hardening, CIS benchmarks, GPO security baselines, or endpoint configuration compliance.
Hardening Linux Endpoint With Cis Benchmark
Hardens Linux endpoints using CIS Benchmark recommendations for Ubuntu, RHEL, and CentOS to reduce attack surface, enforce security baselines, and meet compliance requirements. Use when deploying new Linux servers, remediating audit findings, or establishing security baselines for Linux infrastructure. Activates for requests involving Linux hardening, CIS benchmarks for Linux, server security baselines, or Linux configuration compliance.
Hardening Docker Daemon Configuration
Harden the Docker daemon by configuring daemon.json with user namespace remapping, TLS authentication, rootless mode, and CIS benchmark controls.
Hardening Docker Containers For Production
Hardening Docker containers for production involves applying security best practices aligned with CIS Docker Benchmark v1.8.0 to minimize attack surface, prevent privilege escalation, and enforce leas
Generating Threat Intelligence Reports
Generates structured cyber threat intelligence reports at strategic, operational, and tactical levels tailored to specific audiences including executives, security operations teams, and technical analysts. Use when producing finished intelligence products from raw collection data, creating sector threat briefings, or delivering post-incident intelligence assessments. Activates for requests involving CTI report writing, threat briefings, intelligence products, finished intelligence, or executive security reporting.
Extracting Windows Event Logs Artifacts
Extract, parse, and analyze Windows Event Logs (EVTX) using Chainsaw, Hayabusa, and EvtxECmd to detect lateral movement, persistence, and privilege escalation.
Extracting Memory Artifacts With Rekall
Uses Rekall memory forensics framework to analyze memory dumps for process hollowing, injected code via VAD anomalies, hidden processes, and rootkit detection. Applies plugins like pslist, psscan, vadinfo, malfind, and dlllist to extract forensic artifacts from Windows memory images. Use during incident response memory analysis.
Extracting Iocs From Malware Samples
Extracts indicators of compromise (IOCs) from malware samples including file hashes, network indicators (IPs, domains, URLs), host artifacts (file paths, registry keys, mutexes), and behavioral patterns for threat intelligence sharing and detection rule creation. Activates for requests involving IOC extraction, threat indicator harvesting, malware indicator collection, or building detection content from samples.
Extracting Credentials From Memory Dump
Extract cached credentials, password hashes, Kerberos tickets, and authentication tokens from memory dumps using Volatility and Mimikatz for forensic investigation.
Extracting Config From Agent Tesla Rat
Extract embedded configuration from Agent Tesla RAT samples including SMTP/FTP/Telegram exfiltration credentials, keylogger settings, and C2 endpoints using .NET decompilation and memory analysis.
Extracting Browser History Artifacts
Extract and analyze browser history, cookies, cache, downloads, and bookmarks from Chrome, Firefox, and Edge for forensic evidence of user web activity.
Exploiting Zerologon Vulnerability Cve 2020 1472
Exploit the Zerologon vulnerability (CVE-2020-1472) in the Netlogon Remote Protocol to achieve domain controller compromise by resetting the machine account password to empty.
Exploiting Websocket Vulnerabilities
Testing WebSocket implementations for authentication bypass, cross-site hijacking, injection attacks, and insecure message handling during authorized security assessments.
