This Claude Code skill maps advanced persistent threat (APT) group tactics, techniques, and procedures by programmatically querying MITRE ATT&CK STIX data through the attackcti library and generating Navigator layer files. Use it when investigating security incidents, building detection rules, assessing monitoring coverage gaps, or validating defensive controls against known threat actor behaviors.

# Analyzing Threat Actor TTPs with MITRE Navigator
## Overview
The MITRE ATT&CK Navigator is a web application for annotating and visualizing ATT&CK matrices.
Combined with the attackcti Python library (which queries ATT&CK STIX data via TAXII), analysts
can programmatically generate Navigator layer files mapping specific threat group TTPs, compare
multiple groups, and assess detection coverage gaps against known adversaries.
## When to Use
- When investigating security incidents that require analyzing threat actor ttps with mitre navigator
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+ with attackcti and stix2 libraries installed
- MITRE ATT&CK Navigator (web UI or local instance)
- Understanding of STIX 2.1 objects and relationships
## Steps
1. Query ATT&CK STIX data for target threat group using attackcti
2. Extract techniques associated with the group via STIX relationships
3. Generate ATT&CK Navigator layer JSON with technique annotations
4. Overlay detection coverage to identify gaps
5. Export layer for team review and defensive planning
## Expected Output
```json

```Extract and decrypt Windows DPAPI-protected secrets (Credential Manager, browser logins/cookies, Wi-Fi credentials, KeePass keys) online or offline using SharpDPAPI, SharpChrome, Mimikatz, or Impacket's dpapi.py, including domain-wide decryption via the DPAPI backup key. Use during authorized red-team credential-access engagements after gaining a foothold or when triaging DPAPI blobs pulled from a host.
Take over Active Directory accounts by writing attacker-controlled public keys to msDS-KeyCredentialLink (Shadow Credentials) with pyWhisker, Whisker, or Certipy, then authenticate via PKINIT to recover the target's NT hash without a password reset. Use when BloodHound shows GenericWrite/GenericAll/AddKeyCredentialLink over a target, as a stealthier alternative to ForceChangePassword, during authorized red-team engagements.

Create forensically sound bit-for-bit disk images with dd or dcfldd on a Linux forensic workstation, preserving evidence integrity through hash verification (MD5/SHA) during acquisition. Use when imaging a suspect drive, USB device, or memory card for investigation, preserving volatile disk evidence during incident response, or producing a verified copy for legal or law-enforcement proceedings before any destructive analysis.

Perform static analysis of Android APK malware using apktool for resource decompilation, jadx for Java source recovery, and androguard for manifest inspection, dangerous permission-combination detection, and identification of obfuscated code, dynamic code loading, and reflection-based API calls. Use to statically triage a suspicious APK without executing it or to build mobile malware detection rules.
