implementing-network-segmentation-for-ot Implements OT network segmentation using VLANs, OT-aware firewalls, data diodes, and IEC 62443 zone/conduit architecture, with a traffic-baseline-driven design tool for migrating flat Purdue-model networks without disrupting operations. Use when segmenting a flat OT network into Purdue levels, deploying an IT/OT DMZ, or isolating safety instrumented systems from basic process control systems.

Mais deste repositório abusing-dpapi-for-credential-access Extract and decrypt Windows DPAPI-protected secrets (Credential Manager, browser logins/cookies, Wi-Fi credentials, KeePass keys) online or offline using SharpDPAPI, SharpChrome, Mimikatz, or Impacket's dpapi.py, including domain-wide decryption via the DPAPI backup key. 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 Network Segmentation for OT
When to Use
When an OT security assessment reveals a flat network with no segmentation between Purdue levels
When implementing IEC 62443 zone/conduit architecture after completing risk assessment (IEC 62443-3-2)
When separating IT and OT networks as part of an IT/OT convergence security initiative
When deploying a DMZ between corporate IT and OT to protect industrial systems from IT-originating threats
When segmenting safety instrumented systems (SIS) from basic process control systems (BPCS)
Do not use for IT-only microsegmentation without OT components (see implementing-zero-trust-in-cloud), or for initial zone design without prior traffic analysis (see performing-ot-network-security-assessment first).
Prerequisites
Complete traffic baseline from passive monitoring (minimum 2-4 weeks of capture data)
Asset inventory with Purdue level classifications for all OT devices
Industrial-grade network switches with VLAN support and port security
OT-aware firewalls (Cisco ISA-3000, Fortinet FortiGate Rugged, Palo Alto with OT Security)
Maintenance window schedule for network changes
Rollback plan approved by operations management
Workflow
Step 1: Design Segmentation Architecture Based on Traffic Baseline
Use the traffic baseline to design VLAN and firewall architecture that preserves all legitimate communication paths while isolating zones.
"""OT Network Segmentation Design Tool.
Analyzes traffic baseline data and generates a segmentation design
with VLAN assignments, firewall rules, and migration plan.
