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 — Relaying NTLM for ADCS ESC8

NIST CSF 2.0

ID Name Rationale
DE.CM-01 Networks and network services are monitored to find potentially adverse events ESC8 produces detectable network signals: forced authentication (coercion), NTLM relay to the AD CS HTTP endpoint, and anomalous machine-account certificate enrollment.

MITRE ATT&CK

Technique ID Name Tactic Rationale
T1557.001 Adversary-in-the-Middle: LLMNR/NBT-NS Poisoning and SMB Relay Credential Access / Collection Core ESC8 primitive — relaying coerced NTLM auth to AD CS web enrollment.
T1187 Forced Authentication Credential Access PetitPotam/printerbug coerce the DC to authenticate.
T1649 Steal or Forge Authentication Certificates Credential Access The attack yields a DC machine-account certificate.
T1003.006 OS Credential Dumping: DCSync Credential Access The recovered DC identity enables DCSync.

Supporting Frameworks and Standards

  • MS-EFSRPC — protocol abused by PetitPotam for coercion.
  • MS-RPRN — Print System Remote Protocol abused by printerbug.py.
  • MS-WCCE — Windows Client Certificate Enrollment, the target enrollment protocol.
  • Microsoft KB5005413 / ADV210003 — mitigations for NTLM relay to AD CS (EPA, disable NTLM on enrollment).
  • D3FEND — Certificate-based authentication hardening and network traffic analysis as countermeasures.
