Red Team Operations & Adversary Simulation
Go beyond vulnerability scanning to measure how your security operations center (SOC), EDR agents, and incident response personnel perform when confronted with a targeted, stealthy nation-state adversary. Objective-driven campaigns designed to test crown jewel defense.
How Red Team Engagements Unfold
Our operators use custom tooling, living-off-the-land techniques, and multi-stage Command & Control infrastructure.
Initial Foothold & Phishing
Spear phishing with credential-harvesting reverse proxies (Evilginx), payload delivery via macro-less documents, and perimeter vulnerability exploits.
EDR / XDR Evasion & AMSI Bypass
In-memory shellcode execution, unhooking ntdll system calls, patching AMSI/ETW telemetry, and custom compiler obfuscation to bypass tier-1 EDR agents.
Lateral Movement & Living off the Land
Using trusted administrative utilities (WMI, PowerShell, WinRM, SSH) rather than malware binaries to move quietly across corporate subnets.
Active Directory & Cloud Pivoting
Compromising on-premise Domain Controllers to forge Golden Tickets, and leveraging Azure AD Connect to pivot from physical servers directly into AWS/Azure clouds.
Data Exfiltration & Ransomware Proof
Simulating encrypted outbound exfiltration through covert DNS tunnels and HTTPS channels without triggering DLP (Data Loss Prevention) alerts.
SOC Detection Gap Analysis
Measuring your security team's Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) against documented timestamped attacks.
Minute-by-Minute Attack Timelines & Purple Team Debrief
We sit down with your Blue Team and SOC engineers in an open Purple Team workshop to review alert logs, SIEM blind spots, and detection tuning.
Second-by-second activity log correlated with your SIEM/EDR alert history to identify missed telemetry.
Full ATT&CK matrix color-coded by executed tactics, detected behaviors, and blocked operations.
Custom detection signatures tailored to your SIEM (Splunk, Elastic, Sentinel) to prevent recurrence.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Red Team assessment differ from a Penetration Test? ↓
A penetration test aims to find as many vulnerabilities as possible across a defined scope. A Red Team assessment is objective-based (e.g., "Exfiltrate customer database" or "Gain Domain Admin without triggering SOC alerts"), testing your organization's human detection and response capabilities under realistic stealth conditions.
Who in our company should be aware the test is happening? ↓
Only a small "White Cell" of trusted executives (usually CISO, VP of Engineering, or General Counsel) should be aware. The SOC and operational security teams should remain unaware to test true defensive readiness.
