mukul975 8cae0648ec Add 55 new skills across 3 new domains + 6 undercovered areas (762 -> 817)
Demand-driven expansion targeting the fastest-growing 2025-2026 threat and
skills categories (ISC2/WEF/CrowdStrike/Mandiant signals):

- AI Security (NEW domain, 12 skills): LLM red-teaming with garak/PyRIT,
  prompt injection (direct/indirect/RAG), MCP tool-poisoning, agentic tool
  invocation, guardrails, model/data poisoning, system-prompt leakage,
  embedding/vector weaknesses, model extraction, continuous red-teaming
- Supply Chain Security (NEW domain, 5 skills): SBOMs, dependency confusion,
  malicious-npm triage, typosquatting, SLSA/Sigstore provenance
- Hardware & Firmware Security (NEW domain, 4 skills): CHIPSEC/UEFI audit,
  Secure Boot bypass, TPM measured-boot attestation, ESP bootkit hunting
- Identity (10): Entra ID/ROADtools, GraphRunner, AADInternals, ADCS/Certipy,
  shadow credentials, coercion, BloodHound CE, device-code phishing, SSO abuse
- Cloud-native (8): Stratus, Pacu, CloudFox, container escape, K8s RBAC,
  Falco, Trivy, kube-bench
- Offensive C2 (6): Sliver, Havoc, NetExec, DPAPI, NTLM relay ESC8, redirectors
- DFIR (6): Hayabusa, Chainsaw, KAPE, Velociraptor, EZ Tools, Plaso
- Backfill (4): OpenCTI, MISP, honeytokens, post-quantum crypto migration

Each skill follows the repo taxonomy (SKILL.md + references/{standards,api-reference}.md
+ scripts/agent.py + LICENSE), with researched real tool commands (no placeholders),
complete frontmatter, and ATT&CK/ATLAS + NIST CSF mappings. Updates README domain
table, skill count, and index.json.

Standards and References — Abusing DPAPI for Credential Access

NIST CSF 2.0

ID Name Rationale
DE.CM-01 Networks and network services are monitored to find potentially adverse events DPAPI abuse generates detectable signals (MS-BKRP backup-key RPC to the DC, Protect/Credentials folder access, LSASS access) that monitoring must surface.

MITRE ATT&CK

Technique ID Name Tactic Rationale
T1555.004 Credentials from Password Stores: Windows Credential Manager Credential Access DPAPI protects Credential Manager/Vault entries; decrypting them recovers stored credentials.
T1555.003 Credentials from Password Stores: Credentials from Web Browsers Credential Access SharpChrome decrypts DPAPI-protected browser logins/cookies.
T1003 OS Credential Dumping Credential Access Extracting master keys and the domain backup key dumps credential material.

Supporting Frameworks and Standards

  • MS-BKRP — BackupKey Remote Protocol; the RPC interface used to retrieve the domain DPAPI backup key.
  • MS-DPSP / DPAPI — Microsoft's Data Protection API specification governing master keys and blob protection.
  • D3FEND — Credential Eviction / Password Rotation as mitigations after DPAPI compromise.
