Red Teaming
How would a real attacker operate against you?
Adversary simulation with teeth.
How We Work
Red teaming isn't just penetration testing with a different name. We operate like real adversaries—patient, stealthy, and objective-focused. Our engagements test whether your security team can detect and respond to skilled attackers.
Objective Definition
We define clear objectives that mirror real threats: domain compromise, data exfiltration, financial fraud, or operational disruption. These objectives shape every tactical decision.
Threat Intelligence
We research threat actors relevant to your industry and develop attack plans based on real-world TTPs documented in MITRE ATT&CK.
Initial Access
We gain initial foothold through phishing, external exploitation, physical access, or supply chain vectors—whichever approach a real adversary would choose.
Persistence & Evasion
We establish persistence mechanisms and operate carefully to avoid detection. This tests your monitoring capabilities and threat hunting effectiveness.
Objective Completion
We pursue the agreed-upon objectives—accessing crown jewels, demonstrating business impact, and documenting the full attack chain.
Detection Analysis
We work with your security team to review what was detected, what was missed, and why. This transforms the engagement into actionable improvement.
What You Get
Red team reports tell the story of how we operated against you—and more importantly, how your defenses performed.
Attack Narrative
A complete chronicle of our campaign: initial access, persistence, lateral movement, and objective completion. The story of how we moved through your environment.
MITRE ATT&CK Mapping
Every technique mapped to the ATT&CK framework, enabling structured comparison with known threat actor behaviors.
Detection Gap Analysis
Analysis of what your security team detected, what they missed, and specific recommendations for improving detection coverage.
Timeline Reconstruction
A detailed timeline of our activities correlated with your security logs. See what alerts fired (or didn't) for each action we took.
Debrief Session
Extended walkthrough with your security team, SOC analysts, and incident responders. We share our perspective and answer questions about our techniques.
Remediation Roadmap
Prioritized recommendations for improving detection, response, and prevention based on the specific gaps we exploited.
Why Breach Craft for Red Teaming
Real Adversary Mindset
We think like attackers because we've studied how they operate. Our team researches threat intelligence, develops custom tooling, and operates with the patience of a real adversary.
Detection-Focused
Red teaming isn't about proving we can get in—it's about testing whether you can catch us. We design engagements to stress-test your detection and response capabilities.
Collaborative Debrief
We don't just hand you a report. We work with your team to understand the detection gaps, share our techniques, and help build better defenses.
Framework-Mapped Results
All findings map to MITRE ATT&CK and CIS Controls. Your team can track improvements against established frameworks.
Scalable Engagements
From focused red team sprints to extended campaigns, we scale our approach to match your security maturity and objectives.
Common Questions
How is red teaming different from penetration testing?
Penetration testing finds vulnerabilities across a defined scope. Red teaming tests your ability to detect and respond to a skilled adversary pursuing specific objectives. We operate stealthily, chain vulnerabilities, and persist over time—testing your security team, not just your systems.
How long do red team engagements last?
Typically 4-8 weeks, though this varies by objective and scope. Shorter engagements focus on specific attack paths; longer campaigns allow for persistent access and realistic adversary emulation. We'll recommend duration based on your objectives.
Should our SOC know about the engagement?
It depends on your goals. Blind engagements test real detection capabilities. Announced engagements allow SOC learning during the campaign. Many organizations do both: a blind phase followed by collaborative detection tuning.
What if you can't achieve the objective?
That's a success—your defenses worked. We document what blocked us and assess whether those controls would hold against different threat actors. Strong defenses are a positive finding.
Do you use off-the-shelf tools or custom malware?
Both. We use commercial C2 frameworks where appropriate but also develop custom tooling to evade detection. Our approach mirrors real adversaries who combine commodity tools with custom capabilities.
