Captures WPA/WPA2 handshakes and performs offline password cracking using aircrack-ng, hashcat, and dictionary attacks during authorized wireless security assessments to evaluate passphrase strength and wireless network security posture.

Bypass Web Application Firewall protections using encoding techniques, HTTP method manipulation, parameter pollution, and payload obfuscation to deliver SQL injection, XSS, and other attack payloads past WAF detection rules.

Bypasses SSL/TLS certificate pinning implementations in Android and iOS applications to enable traffic interception during authorized security assessments. Covers OkHttp, TrustManager, NSURLSession, and third-party pinning library bypass techniques using Frida, Objection, and custom scripts. Activates for requests involving certificate pinning bypass, SSL pinning defeat, mobile TLS interception, or proxy-resistant app testing.

Analyze and bypass Content Security Policy implementations to achieve cross-site scripting by exploiting misconfigurations, JSONP endpoints, unsafe directives, and policy injection techniques.

Tests API rate limiting implementations for bypass vulnerabilities by manipulating request headers, IP addresses, HTTP methods, API versions, and encoding schemes to circumvent request throttling controls. The tester identifies rate limit headers, determines enforcement mechanisms, and attempts bypasses including X-Forwarded-For spoofing, parameter pollution, case variation, and endpoint path manipulation. Maps to OWASP API4:2023 Unrestricted Resource Consumption. Activates for requests involving rate limit bypass, API throttling evasion, brute force protection testing, or API abuse prevention assessment.

Implements an integrated incident ticketing system connecting SIEM alerts to ServiceNow, Jira, or TheHive for structured incident tracking, SLA management, escalation workflows, and compliance documentation. Use when SOC teams need formalized incident lifecycle management with automated ticket creation, assignment routing, and resolution tracking.

Deploy FIDO2/WebAuthn passwordless authentication using security keys and platform authenticators. Covers WebAuthn API integration, FIDO2 server configuration, passkey enrollment, biometric authentica

Implements passwordless authentication using Microsoft Entra ID with FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello for Business, Microsoft Authenticator passkeys, and certificate-based authentication to eliminate password-based attacks. Activates for requests involving passwordless deployment, FIDO2 passkey configuration, phishing-resistant MFA, or Microsoft Entra authentication method policies.

Detect NTLM relay attacks by analyzing Windows Event 4624 logon type 3 with NTLMSSP authentication, identifying IP-to-hostname mismatches, Responder traffic signatures, SMB signing status, and suspicious authentication patterns across the domain.

Detect DCSync attacks by analyzing Windows Event ID 4662 for unauthorized DS-Replication-Get-Changes requests from non-domain-controller accounts.

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.

Detect WMI event subscription persistence by analyzing Sysmon Event IDs 19, 20, and 21 for malicious EventFilter, EventConsumer, and FilterToConsumerBinding creation.
