Red Teaming Terminology
We validate this area during scoped assessments, documenting impact and remediation guidance.
Why it matters
- Initial Access – Gaining entry into a target environment. - Lateral Movement – Expanding access by moving between systems. - Persistence – Maintaining long-term access to compromised systems. - Privilege Escalation – Gaining higher privileges within a system. - Credential Dumping – Extracting passwords or hashes from memory. - Command and Control (C2) – A channel to control compromised systems. - Living Off the Land (LotL) – Using built-in tools (e.g., PowerShell) to evade detection. - Enumeration – Gathering information about the target environment. - Pivoting – Using a compromised system to attack other internal hosts. - OPSEC (Operational Security) – Hiding attack activities from defenders. - Blue Team – Defenders focused on security monitoring and incident response. - Red Team – Offensive security professionals simulating real-world attacks. - Purple Team – A collaboration between Red and Blue teams to improve security. - Evasion – Bypassing security controls like AV and EDR. - TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) – The methodology used by attackers. - MITRE ATT&CK – A framework categorizing adversary techniques and behaviors.
