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.

Command Reference - CHIPSEC

chipsec_main (test suite)

Command / Flag Purpose
chipsec_main Run all applicable security modules for the platform
-m, --module <name> Run a specific module, e.g. -m common.bios_wp
-m common Run the whole OEM-independent module group
-mx <modules> Exclude listed modules
-a, --module_args Pass arguments to a module (e.g. -a modify)
-p, --platform <code> Force platform code when auto-detect fails
-n, --no_driver Skip checks requiring the kernel driver
-l, --log <file> Write output to a log file
-j, --json <file> JSON results output
-x, --xml <file> JUnit-style XML results output
-v / -vv / -d Verbose / very verbose / debug logging

Key security modules

Module Checks
common.bios_wp BIOS_CNTL BLE / SMM_BWP and SPI Protected Ranges
common.spi_lock SPI flash descriptor FLOCKDN lock
common.spi_access SPI flash region access permissions
common.smrr SMRR programming (SMRAM cache protection)
common.smm SMM BIOS write protection
common.secureboot.variables Secure Boot variable protection (-a modify to test writes)
common.uefi.s3bootscript S3 resume boot-script protection

chipsec_util (manual access)

Command Purpose
chipsec_util spi info Report SPI flash regions/descriptor/permissions
chipsec_util spi dump rom.bin Dump entire SPI flash to file
chipsec_util spi read <addr> <len> out.bin Read SPI flash range
chipsec_util decode rom.bin Decode dumped image into volumes/files/variables
chipsec_util uefi var-list List UEFI variables (runtime)
chipsec_util uefi var-find <name> Find a UEFI variable
chipsec_util uefi var-read <name> <GUID> out.bin Read a variable
chipsec_util uefi decode rom.bin Decode UEFI firmware structure from image
chipsec_util platform Show detected platform info

Result interpretation

Result Meaning
PASSED Protection is correctly enabled
FAILED Protection missing/misconfigured — exploitable
WARNING Potential issue / needs manual review
INFORMATION Informational, no pass/fail
