WinDbg is the most popular Debugger for Windows. In this course, we will look at how WinDbg can be used for both User and Kernel mode debugging. We will learn how processes and threads work on Windows, and how we can examine memory, modify registers & data, disassemble code etc. among other things. We will also learn a bit of Windows internals, kernel data strucutres and how to analyze rootkits and other malicious code in the form of device drivers.

PCAP2XML is a tool suite which takes 802.11 PCAP trace files as input and can convert them into XML or SQLITE representations. This allows a pentester to run arbitrary queries on the packet header fields.

Full Stack Web Attack is not an entry-level course. It’s designed to push you beyond what you thought was possible and set you on the path to develop your own workflow for offensive zero-day web research. This course is developed for web penetration testers, bug hunters and developers that want to make a switch to server-side web security research or see how serious adversaries will attack their web based code. Students are expected to know how to use Burp Suite and have a basic understanding of common web attacks as well as perform basic scripting using common languages such as python, PHP and JavaScript. Each of the vulnerabilities presented have either been mirrored from real zero-day or are n-day bugs that have been discovered by the author with a focus on not just exploitation, but also on the discovery. So if you want to learn how to exploit web technologies without client interaction for maximum impact, that is, remote code execution then this is the course for you.

To achieve maximum stealth and obtain unabated access to the system, rootkits execute in kernel mode. This course focuses on the kernel interfaces (APIs), data structures and mechanisms that are exploited by rootkits to achieve their goals at every stage of their execution. Kernel security enhancements that have been progressively added from Windows 7 to the latest version of Windows are discussed along with some circumvention techniques. This advanced course provides a comprehensive end-to-end view of the modus-operandi of rootkits by taking an in-depth look at behind the scenes working of the Windows kernel and how these mechanisms are exploited by malware through hands-on labs and real-world case studies. Kernel security enhancements that have been progressively added to Windows are discussed along with some circumvention techniques. Attendees will study key techniques used by rootkits to understand the real-world applicability of these concepts for offensive and defensive purposes. This training is beneficial to anyone responsible for developing, detecting, analyzing, and defending against rootkits and other Windows kernel post-exploitation techniques including EPP/EDR software developers, anti-malware engineers, security researchers, red/blue/purple teamers. A special version of this training is also available for malware, rootkit forensics analysts where the focus is not on implementing rootkit functionality but rather on investigating rootkits using tools such as WinDBG and Volatility. This analyst version does not require attendees to have a programming background and contains topics related to rootkit detection and case studies.

DevOps is taking the world by storm, but the often overlooked part is that keeping applications secure is increasingly important. So how do you keep your entire development chain secure and within compliance? This path answers that question by showing you the fundamentals of DevSecOps and keeping your CI/CD pipelines safe while incorporating security best practices into your DevOps lifecycle.

In this course, you will learn to reverse engineer. That will allow you to protect intellectual property, find vulnerabilities, and pull apart malware. Join me in making the world a little safer. In the prior courses we learned there are 4 main techniques to secure code: design review, static analysis, manual audit, and dynamic (fuzz) testing. But, once the code is fielded, hackers will begin researching exploits against it. In this course, learn how and why compiled binaries are examined and scoured for weaknesses, and why reversing is also a required malware analysis skill and is sometimes needed for low-level developers working with undocumented APIs. After watching this course you’ll be familiar all of the above and with the popular IDA pro tool and how to use it. Download the IDA pro demo to complete the labs.

A Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) Admin manages a Splunk Enterprise Security environment, including ES event processing and normalization, deployment requirements, technology add-ons, settings, risk analysis settings, threat intelligence and protocol intelligence configuration, and customization’s. This skill demonstrates an individual’s ability to install, configure, and manage a Splunk Enterprise Security deployment.

Virtualization is used by IT professionals in the datacenter, on the desktop, and in the cloud to gain tremendous efficiency. In this path, you’ll learn everything you need to know about server, desktop, storage, and network virtualization to get you started in today’s virtualization-dependent world.

Testing network security controls and discovering vulnerabilities are important parts of any organizations security plan. Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is a free and open source utility for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.

This skill focuses on creating shell scripts using Bash and/or Z Shell to automate just about any task on a UNIX system. With the skills here, you’ll maximize your productivity by using shell scripts to automate tasks and make your life easier.

NIST defines an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as software that looks for suspicious activity and alerts administrators. In the NIST Special Publication 800-62 it goes on to say that it is a security service that monitors and analyzes network or system events for the purpose of finding, and providing real-time or near real-time warning of, attempts to access system resources in an unauthorized manner. NIST Special Publication 800-161 states that an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is software that has all the capabilities of an intrusion detection system and can also attempt to stop possible incidents. Such systems are key in enterprise network security monitoring. This skills path is designed for anyone looking to learn and utilize the most popular open source IDS/IPS tools; Snort, Suricata and Zeek (formally Bro). The learner can study the tool that best fits their needs and environment or review all three. For each tool you will gain an understanding of the fundamentals of each tool in the getting started courses. You’ll then discover scripting and rule sets, before looking at extensions, frameworks and integrations. The final course will be utilizing the tools in an enterprise environment or for distributed operations.

MITRE ATT&CK® is a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. The ATT&CK knowledge base is used as a foundation for the development of specific threat models and methodologies in the private sector, in government, and in the cybersecurity product and service community. With the addition of MITRE Shield, you now have a 360 degree view of attack scenarios and the data and capabilities needed to stop them.
