The Red Team is a group that plays the role of an enemy or competitor to provide security feedback from that perspective. Red teams are used in many fields, especially in cyber security, airport security, military and intelligence services. In the field of cyber security, a penetration test involves an attempt by ethical hackers to break into a computer system without the element of surprise. The Blue Team (the defending team) is aware of the penetration test and is ready to defend. Red Team goes further and adds physical penetration, social engineering and an element of surprise. The blue team receives no advance warning of the red team and will take it as a real invasion. A red team assessment is similar to a penetration test, but more focused. The goal is to test the organization’s detection and response capabilities.
The red team will try to infiltrate and gain access to sensitive information in any way possible, as quietly as possible. In this list, I’ve decided to share most of the tools I use in authorized events, including where to find some of them, and in some cases I’ll also add some other alternative tools. I do not provide information on how to use these tools as this information can be found online with some research. My goal with this list is to help fellow Red Team members with a “checklist” when they may be missing a tool and use this list as a reference for any tasks. I hope it will be useful and provide additional information. Stay safe and legal!
