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.

Linux kernel rootkits operate at ring 0, modifying kernel data structures to hide processes, files, network connections, and kernel modules from userspace tools. Detection requires either memory forensics (analyzing physical memory dumps with Volatility3) or cross-view analysis (comparing /proc, /sys, and kernel data structures for inconsistencies). This skill covers using Volatility3 Linux plugins to detect syscall table hooks, hidden kernel modules, and modified function pointers, supplemented by live system scanning with rkhunter and chkrootkit.
Capture Linux physical memory using LiME kernel module or AVML for cloud instances.
Run linux.check_syscall, linux.lsmod, linux.hidden_modules, and linux.check_idt plugins to detect rootkit artifacts.
Compare module lists from /proc/modules, lsmod, and /sys/module to identify modules hidden from one view but present in another.
Run rkhunter and chkrootkit to detect known rootkit signatures, suspicious files, and modified system binaries.
