Heap spraying is an exploitation technique that fills large regions of a process's heap with attacker-controlled data (typically NOP sleds followed by shellcode) to increase the reliability of code execution exploits. This skill covers detecting heap spray artifacts in memory dumps using Volatility3's malfind, vadinfo, and memmap plugins, identifying suspicious contiguous memory allocations, scanning for NOP sled patterns (0x90, 0x0c0c0c0c), and extracting embedded shellcode for analysis.
volatility3 framework installedUse Volatility3 windows.malfind to scan for processes with executable injected memory regions.
Examine VAD tree entries using windows.vadinfo for large contiguous allocations with RWX permissions.
Search suspicious memory regions for NOP sled signatures (0x90 sequences, 0x0c0c0c0c patterns).
Dump suspicious memory regions and identify shellcode using byte pattern analysis.
JSON report with suspicious processes, heap spray indicators, NOP sled locations, memory region sizes, and extracted shellcode hashes.
Produces a structured Windows system report that synthesises performance and security signals into a single Markdown document and writes it to disk. Combines sysinfo, tasklist, network connections, recent event log entries, Defender state, autoruns, hotfix list, and disk usage into an executive summary plus per-axis sections plus actionable findings. Activates when the user asks Lucy to "generate / produce / build / write / compile / elaborate" a "report / informe / reporte / auditoría / overview" of "the machine / la maquina / mi equipo / mi laptop / the host" with optional persistence target (escritorio / desktop / archivo / .md / .pdf).
Create forensically sound bit-for-bit disk images using dd and dcfldd while preserving evidence integrity through hash verification.
Detect dangerous ACL misconfigurations in Active Directory using ldap3 to identify GenericAll, WriteDACL, and WriteOwner abuse paths
Perform static analysis of Android APK malware samples using apktool for decompilation, jadx for Java source recovery, and androguard for permission analysis, manifest inspection, and suspicious API call detection.
Parses API Gateway access logs (AWS API Gateway, Kong, Nginx) to detect BOLA/IDOR attacks, rate limit bypass, credential scanning, and injection attempts. Uses pandas for statistical analysis of request patterns and anomaly detection. Use when investigating API abuse or building API-specific threat detection rules.
Queries Azure Monitor activity logs and sign-in logs via azure-monitor-query to detect suspicious administrative operations, impossible travel, privilege escalation, and resource modifications. Builds KQL queries for threat hunting in Azure environments. Use when investigating suspicious Azure tenant activity or building cloud SIEM detections.
