Our Methodology
A structured approach that mirrors real-world adversary tactics while maintaining safety and control.
Reconnaissance & Intelligence Gathering
We begin by mapping your organization's digital footprint through passive and active reconnaissance. This includes OSINT collection, social media analysis, employee profiling, technology stack identification, and external asset discovery. We identify potential attack vectors and high-value targets.
Threat Modeling & Attack Planning
Based on reconnaissance data, we develop customized attack scenarios aligned with realistic threat actors targeting your industry. We create detailed attack trees, establish communication protocols, and define success metrics and engagement boundaries.
Initial Access & Foothold
We execute multi-vector attacks including sophisticated phishing campaigns, exploitation of external vulnerabilities, and social engineering. Each successful entry point is documented with precise timestamps and techniques used.
Lateral Movement & Privilege Escalation
After gaining initial access, we move laterally through the network, escalating privileges while evading detection. We target domain controllers, critical servers, and sensitive data repositories using techniques like Pass-the-Hash, Kerberoasting, and GPO abuse.
Objective Achievement & Impact Demonstration
We demonstrate the full impact of a breach by achieving pre-defined objectives such as accessing crown jewels, exfiltrating sensitive data (simulated), deploying ransomware indicators, or compromising critical systems. All actions are documented for remediation.
Reporting & Purple Team Collaboration
We deliver comprehensive findings and work directly with your security team to validate detections, tune security controls, and improve incident response procedures. This collaborative phase ensures lasting security improvements.
