Primary tooling includes testssl.sh for comprehensive TLS auditing, sslyze for Python-integrated scanning, sslscan for quick cipher enumeration, and tlsx for high-speed TLS probing at scale. Maps to CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation), CWE-319 (Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information), and CWE-757 (Selection of Less-Secure Algorithm During Negotiation).

Time-of-Check / Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition exploitation methodology across binary, kernel, filesystem, web, and container layers. Covers symbolic-link races (open/access/stat split), file-descriptor races, fopen/realpath traversal races, /proc and procfs races, FUSE-backed slow-fs races to widen the window, ptrace and signal races, kernel double-fetch / userspace pointer races, container/runc/symlink escape primitives, kubernetes admission/authz TOCTOU, web auth-vs-authz TOCTOU, JWT-claim TOCTOU at gateway vs service, payment/idempotency races, and modern race-amplification techniques (single-packet attack, slow loris, FUSE pause, cgroup freeze, scheduler shaping). Use when you've identified a 'check then act' pattern in code, when fuzzing for race conditions, or when exploiting concurrency bugs in privileged binaries / kernel / orchestrators.

Wireless / 802.11 attack methodology for red team engagements and wireless security assessments. Covers monitor-mode setup, WPA/WPA2-PSK handshake capture and PMKID attacks, WPA3 SAE downgrade and Dragonblood, WPA-Enterprise (EAP) attacks (MSCHAPv2 cracking, EAP-TLS cert theft, evil-twin RADIUS), Karma / Known Beacons / Mana evil twin attacks, captive-portal phishing, KRACK and FragAttacks, WPS Pixie Dust, deauthentication and disassociation attacks, rogue AP construction (hostapd-mana), 802.1X bypass, MAC randomization defeat, BLE/Zigbee/IEEE 802.15.4 sidebands, and Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 considerations.
