detecting-serverless-function-injection
Detects and prevents code injection attacks targeting serverless functions (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions) through event source poisoning, malicious layer injection, runtime command execution, and IAM privilege escalation via function modification. The analyst combines static analysis of function code, CloudTrail event correlation, runtime behavior monitoring, and IAM policy auditing to identify injection vectors across the expanded serverless attack surface including API Gateway, S3, SQS, DynamoDB Streams, and CloudWatch event triggers. Activates for requests involving Lambda security assessment, serverless injection detection, function event poisoning analysis, or serverless privilege escalation investigation.

-
exploiting-constrained-delegation-abuse
Exploit Kerberos Constrained Delegation misconfigurations in Active Directory to impersonate privileged users via S4U2self and S4U2proxy extensions for lateral movement and privilege escalation.

-
exploiting-deeplink-vulnerabilities
Tests and exploits deep link (URL scheme and App Link) vulnerabilities in Android and iOS mobile applications to identify unauthorized access, data injection, intent hijacking, and redirect manipulation. Use when assessing mobile app attack surface through custom URI schemes, Android App Links, iOS Universal Links, or intent-based navigation. Activates for requests involving deep link security testing, URL scheme exploitation, mobile intent abuse, or link hijacking.

-
exploiting-jwt-algorithm-confusion-attack
Exploits JWT algorithm confusion vulnerabilities where the server's token verification library accepts the algorithm specified in the JWT header rather than enforcing a fixed algorithm. The tester manipulates the alg header to switch from RS256 to HS256 (using the RSA public key as the HMAC secret), sets alg to none to bypass signature verification, or exploits kid/jku/x5u header injection to supply attacker-controlled keys. Activates for requests involving JWT algorithm confusion, alg none attack, key confusion attack, or JWT signature bypass.

exploiting-sql-injection-vulnerabilities
Identifies and exploits SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications during authorized penetration tests using manual techniques and automated tools like sqlmap. The tester detects injection points through error-based, union-based, blind boolean, and time-based blind techniques across all major database engines (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Oracle) to demonstrate data extraction, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution. Activates for requests involving SQL injection testing, SQLi exploitation, database security assessment, or injection vulnerability verification.
