Use during authorized red-team credential-access engagements after gaining a foothold or when triaging DPAPI blobs pulled from a host.
abusing-shadow-credentials-for-privesc Take over Active Directory accounts by writing attacker-controlled public keys to msDS-KeyCredentialLink (Shadow Credentials) with pyWhisker, Whisker, or Certipy, then authenticate via PKINIT to recover the target's NT hash without a password reset. Use when BloodHound shows GenericWrite/GenericAll/AddKeyCredentialLink over a target, as a stealthier alternative to ForceChangePassword, during authorized red-team engagements.
acquiring-disk-image-with-dd-and-dcfldd Create forensically sound bit-for-bit disk images with dd or dcfldd on a Linux forensic workstation, preserving evidence integrity through hash verification (MD5/SHA) during acquisition. Use when imaging a suspect drive, USB device, or memory card for investigation, preserving volatile disk evidence during incident response, or producing a verified copy for legal or law-enforcement proceedings before any destructive analysis.

Implementing Ticketing System for Incidents
When to Use
Use this skill when:
SOC teams need to formalize incident tracking beyond SIEM notable event management
Compliance requirements mandate documented incident lifecycle with timestamps and audit trails
Multi-team coordination requires ticket-based workflows with assignment and escalation
SLA tracking needs automated measurement of response and resolution times
Post-incident reviews require structured data for trend analysis and reporting
Do not use for individual alert triage — ticketing is for confirmed incidents requiring multi-step investigation and remediation, not every SIEM alert.
Prerequisites
Ticketing platform: ServiceNow ITSM, Jira Service Management, or TheHive
SIEM integration capability (REST API, webhook, or SOAR connector)
Incident classification taxonomy (categories, severity levels, escalation paths)
On-call rotation schedule for analyst assignment
SLA definitions aligned to incident severity
Workflow
Step 1: Define Incident Classification Taxonomy
Establish standardized incident categories and severity:
incident_taxonomy:
categories:
- malware_infection
- phishing_campaign
- unauthorized_access
- data_exfiltration
- denial_of_service
- ransomware
- insider_threat
- vulnerability_exploitation
- account_compromise
- policy_violation
severity_levels:

sum(eval(if(urgency="3", 1, 0))) AS medium,
sum(eval(if(urgency="4", 1, 0))) AS low

--- SLA compliance rate

| eval compliance_pct = round(met / total * 100, 1)
Key Concepts Term Definition Incident Ticket Formal tracking record for a confirmed security incident with lifecycle management SLA Service Level Agreement defining maximum response and resolution times by severity Escalation Path Defined routing from Tier 1 to Tier 2/3 based on severity, time elapsed, or analyst request Disposition Final classification of a closed incident (true positive, false positive, duplicate, policy violation) MTTR Mean Time to Resolve — average time from ticket creation to resolution across all incidents Case Management Structured approach to managing complex incidents with tasks, observables, and audit trails
