Red Team

Category: Engineering Domain: Offensive Security

Overview

The Red Team skill provides tools for planning and scoping security engagements. It helps define rules of engagement, select methodologies, scope targets, plan attack phases, and generate engagement documentation.

Clarify First

Before planning the engagement, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

[ ] Authorization & ROE owner — who has signed off and the escalation contacts (no engagement plan without confirmed authorization)
[ ] In-scope targets & boundaries — the exact assets in and explicitly out of bounds (drives scope and --target)
[ ] Engagement type — red-team / pentest / purple / bug-bounty (sets stealth, methodology, and --type)
[ ] Compliance framework — e.g. pci-dss (maps test cases to controls via --compliance)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Quick Start

# Plan a red team engagement
python scripts/engagement_planner.py --type red-team --target "web application" --duration 2w

# Plan a penetration test
python scripts/engagement_planner.py --type pentest --target "api,network" --duration 1w --compliance pci-dss

# Generate rules of engagement document
python scripts/engagement_planner.py --type red-team --target "full-org" --output engagement_plan.json --format json

Tools Overview

| Tool | Purpose | Key Flags | |------|---------|-----------| | engagement_planner.py | Plan red team engagements with scope, rules, and methodology | --type, --target, --duration, --compliance |

engagement_planner.py

Scope definition and boundaries
Rules of engagement (ROE)
Methodology selection (MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP, PTES, etc.)
Phase breakdown with timelines
Communication and escalation procedures
Deliverables checklist

Workflows

Common Patterns

Engagement Types

Red Team: Full adversary simulation, stealth required, tests detection/response
Penetration Test: Authorized vulnerability exploitation, known to defenders
Purple Team: Collaborative attack/defense, real-time knowledge sharing
Bug Bounty Triage: Structured vulnerability validation from external reports
