// Enforce Kubernetes network segmentation using Calico CNI network policies and global network policies to control pod-to-pod traffic, restrict egress, and implement zero-trust microsegmentation.
Runtime iOS app security testing with Objection (Frida): inspect keychain and filesystem data, explore app internals at runtime, and validate/bypass client-side protections during authorized mobile assessments.
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.
Performs Linux memory acquisition using LiME (Linux Memory Extractor) kernel module and analysis with Volatility 3 framework. Extracts process lists, network connections, bash history, loaded kernel modules, and injected code from Linux memory images. Use when performing incident response on compromised Linux systems.
Parse Windows PowerShell Script Block Logs (Event ID 4104) from EVTX files to detect obfuscated commands, encoded payloads, and living-off-the-land techniques. Uses python-evtx to extract and reconstruct multi-block scripts, applies entropy analysis and pattern matching for Base64-encoded commands, Invoke-Expression abuse, download cradles, and AMSI bypass attempts.
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

Calico provides Kubernetes-native and extended network policy enforcement through its CNI plugin. This skill covers creating and auditing Calico NetworkPolicy and GlobalNetworkPolicy resources to implement pod-to-pod traffic control, namespace isolation, egress restrictions, and DNS-based policy rules using calicoctl and the Kubernetes API.
kubernetes client libraryUse calicoctl and kubectl to inventory current network policies and identify unprotected namespaces.
Create default-deny ingress and egress policies per namespace as a zero-trust baseline.
Define granular allow rules for legitimate pod-to-pod and pod-to-service communication.
Test connectivity between pods to verify policies are correctly enforced.
JSON audit report listing all network policies, unprotected namespaces, policy rule counts, and connectivity test results.
