Exhibit A — Acheron
AI-powered web reconnaissance engine — automates target enumeration and surface mapping so the recon phase of an engagement starts from a triaged shortlist, not a blank scope. |
Exhibit B — Host-Based FIM
Custom file integrity monitor — baselines watched paths, persists state to SQLite, and flags drift the moment a monitored file changes. |
|
Exhibit C — Active Directory Lab
Self-built domain lab covering initial access and lateral movement — enumeration, credential handling, and attack-path analysis end to end. |
Exhibit D — PKI & Apache Hardening Lab
Certificate authority deployment paired with Apache configuration hardening and TLS enforcement — the defensive counterpart to the offense above. |
