exploiting-nopac-cve-2021-42278-42287

by Cybersecurity Skills

Exploits the noPac Active Directory privilege-escalation chain (CVE-2021-42278 sAMAccountName spoofing plus CVE-2021-42287 KDC PAC confusion) using Impacket and secretsdump.py to escalate from a standard domain user to Domain Admin. Use when red-teaming or pentesting Active Directory to validate machine-account impersonation and DCSync-based credential dumping.

exploiting-insecure-deserializationIdentifying and exploiting insecure deserialization vulnerabilities in Java, PHP, Python, and .NET applications to achieve remote code execution during authorized penetration tests.4 installs performing-dynamic-analysis-of-android-appPerforms runtime dynamic analysis of Android applications using Frida, Objection, and Android Debug Bridge to observe application behavior during execution, intercept function calls, modify runtime values, and identify vulnerabilities that static analysis misses. Use when testing Android apps for runtime security flaws, hooking sensitive methods, bypassing client-side protections, or analyzing obfuscated applications. Activates for requests involving Android dynamic analysis, runtime hooking, Frida Android instrumentation, or live app behavior analysis.2 installs performing-disk-forensics-investigationConduct disk forensics investigations using forensic imaging, file system analysis, and timeline reconstruction, with tools such as FTK Imager, Autopsy, and The Sleuth Kit, for evidence acquisition, deleted file recovery, and artifact examination. Use when a security incident requires forensic analysis of persistent storage or when evidence must be preserved for legal or HR proceedings.2 installs performing-osint-with-spiderfootAutomate OSINT collection with the SpiderFoot REST API and CLI (sf.py/spiderfoot-cli) across 200+ modules, selecting scan modes (footprint, investigate, passive) and parsing results for domains, IPs, emails, leaked credentials, and DNS records into a target intelligence profile. Use when mapping an organization's attack surface or profiling a target for threat intelligence.2 installs monitoring-darkweb-sourcesMonitors dark web forums, marketplaces, paste sites, and ransomware leak sites for mentions of organizational assets, leaked credentials, threatened attacks, and threat actor communications to provide early warning intelligence. Use when establishing dark web monitoring coverage, investigating specific data breach claims, or enriching incident investigations with dark web context. Activates for requests involving dark web OSINT, leak site monitoring, credential exposure, Recorded Future dark web, or Tor hidden service intelligence.2 installs performing-privilege-escalation-assessmentPerforms privilege escalation assessments on compromised Linux and Windows systems to identify paths from low-privilege access to root or SYSTEM-level control. The tester enumerates misconfigurations, vulnerable services, kernel exploits, SUID binaries, unquoted service paths, and credential stores to demonstrate the full impact of an initial compromise. Activates for requests involving privilege escalation testing, local exploitation, post-compromise escalation, or OS-level security assessment.2 installs
