Offensive Security

Assumed Breach
Simulation

Validate whether your internal defenses can contain and detect an attacker who has already gained a foothold inside your environment.

It is not a matter of if but when your perimeter will be breached. The real question is whether your defenses can contain the damage once an attacker is inside.

Internal Attack Simulation

Starting from an assumed compromise point, we simulate a real adversary moving through your internal network — testing lateral movement detection, privilege escalation controls, and internal segmentation.

Internal Attack Surface

Endpoint Protection Bypass

Testing EDR and antivirus evasion using custom tooling, in-memory execution, and process injection techniques.

Living Off the Land

Leveraging built-in system tools like PowerShell, WMI, and PsExec to move laterally without deploying malware.

Obfuscated C2

Establishing encrypted, protocol-aware command-and-control channels that blend into legitimate network traffic.

Privilege Escalation

Exploiting misconfigurations, vulnerable services, and token manipulation to gain administrative and domain-level access.

Credential Searching

Hunting for stored credentials, cached tokens, and password files across endpoints, repositories, and memory.

Identity & Access Attacks

Targeting Entra ID, Active Directory, privileged accounts, and pass-the-hash techniques to compromise identity systems.
