Individual skill
mid-engagement-ir-detection
Methodology for detecting client SOC patches, attacker activity, and security-state changes that occur DURING a red-team engagement — and converting those observations into deliverable findings. Built from authorized red-team work where the client patched a confirmed SQLi within 30 minutes of detection AND an external attacker locked multiple new accounts during a single test session. Use when (a) running ANY active engagement against a monitored target, (b) a previously-confirmed finding stops reproducing, (c) baseline timing shifts unexpectedly, or (d) you notice response patterns changing during testing.

## When to use this skill
Trigger when:
- Running active testing against a target with active SOC monitoring
- A confirmed-vulnerable finding stops reproducing on recheck
- Baseline timing shifts unexpectedly (3× slower, sudden errors, new headers)
- Response sizes change between test windows
- New WAF cookies or headers appear that weren't there at session start
- Lockout / error rates change between test windows (especially LOCKED count for credential attacks)
- Engagement is "assume breach" or "white box" — client knows you're testing
DO NOT use for:
- Bug bounty (client doesn't know you're there; no real-time IR)
- Pure recon (no state-change happening)
