mukul975 cb8d79e068 Map all 754 skills to MITRE ATT&CK v19.1
- Add validated mitre_attack frontmatter to all 754 skills (286 distinct
  techniques), verified against MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 via the official
  mitreattack-python library: 0 revoked, deprecated, or invalid IDs
- Curate precise per-skill technique IDs for forensics, malware-analysis,
  threat-intel, and red-team skills (e.g. DCSync -> T1003.006,
  Kerberoasting -> T1558.003, Pass-the-Ticket -> T1550.003)
- Reconcile v19.1 tactic restructuring: Defense Evasion split into
  Stealth (TA0005) and Defense Impairment (TA0112); revoked T1562.*
  family and T1070.001/.002 remapped to active equivalents (T1685.*)
- Normalize word-split tags across 35 skills (remove filename-derived
  stopword tags, add semantic cybersecurity tags)
- Add api-reference.md for 3 skills that were missing it
- Update README ATT&CK section with accurate v19.1 tactic distribution

Performing SSL/TLS Security Assessment

Overview

Assess SSL/TLS server configurations using sslyze, a fast Python-based scanning library. This skill covers evaluating supported protocol versions (SSLv2/3, TLS 1.0-1.3), cipher suite strength, certificate chain validation, HSTS enforcement, OCSP stapling, and scanning for known vulnerabilities including Heartbleed, ROBOT, and session renegotiation weaknesses.

When to Use

  • When conducting security assessments that involve performing ssl tls security assessment
  • When following incident response procedures for related security events
  • When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
  • When validating security controls through hands-on testing

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+ with sslyze library (pip install sslyze)
  • Network access to target HTTPS servers on port 443
  • Understanding of TLS protocol versions and cipher suite classifications

Steps

Step 1: Configure Server Scan

Create ServerScanRequest with ServerNetworkLocation specifying target hostname and port.

Step 2: Execute TLS Scan

Use sslyze Scanner to queue and execute scans for all TLS check commands concurrently.

Step 3: Analyze Results

Evaluate accepted cipher suites, certificate validity, protocol versions, and vulnerability scan results.

Step 4: Generate Security Report

Produce a JSON report with compliance findings and remediation recommendations.

Expected Output

JSON report with supported protocols, accepted cipher suites, certificate details, vulnerability results (Heartbleed, ROBOT), and HSTS status.
