Red Team Operations

Full-scope adversary emulation designed to test your people, processes, and technology simultaneously — not just your network. We operate under a defined objective and ask a single question: could a determined attacker achieve it?

Red team vs penetration test — A pentest finds vulnerabilities. A red team operation answers whether an adversary can reach a specific objective (exfiltrating your customer database, accessing payroll, achieving domain dominance) by chaining vulnerabilities, social engineering, and physical access together — the same way a real threat actor would.

Operation types

Full-scope red team — all vectors in scope: digital, physical, social engineering
Assumed-compromise — starts post-initial-access; focuses on detection, lateral movement, and objectives
Purple team — collaborative adversary simulation with your blue team observing in real time to improve detection
Crown-jewel focus — defined target (AD, critical data, OT environment) with objective-based success criteria

What you get

Defined objectives and rules of engagement agreed before day one
Daily portal updates throughout the operation window
Full attack narrative: initial access vector → chain → objective achieved (or not)
Detection gap analysis — what fired, what didn't, what should have
MITRE ATT&CK navigator layer showing every TTP used
Remediation and detection recommendations per technique
Executive and technical debrief

Attack vectors we employ

Digital intrusion

Spear-phishing, credential stuffing, vulnerability exploitation, C2 over HTTPS, lateral movement via pass-the-hash / pass-the-ticket, Kerberoasting, DCSync, and living-off-the-land techniques.

Social engineering

Pretexting calls to help desk, spear-phishing with themed lures, vishing campaigns targeting credential handoff or remote-access approvals — scoped to agreed targets and personas.

Physical access

Badge cloning, tailgating, lock bypass, and placement of rogue network implants — when scoped. Physical findings documented with photo evidence and mapped to security control gaps.

C2 infrastructure

Operator-controlled command-and-control infrastructure using HTTPS/DNS channels to simulate sophisticated threat actors that evade perimeter detection. C2 profile tuned to match your EDR environment.

Identity & AD abuse

ACL abuse, delegation misconfigurations, trust relationship exploitation, ADCS certificate template abuse (ESC1–ESC8), and Golden/Silver ticket attacks against scoped domain infrastructure.

Detection testing

Every technique is timestamped and logged. Post-operation, we compare our activity log against what your SIEM/EDR actually alerted on — giving your blue team a concrete gap analysis rather than qualitative feedback.

Best for

Organizations with a mature security program wanting to stress-test detection and response
Companies that run annual pentests and want to answer "would we see and stop a real attack?"
Regulated environments (finance, defense, healthcare) requiring adversary simulation evidence
Post-incident validation — confirming the gap that was exploited is genuinely closed
