Adversary Simulation

With years of valuable experience and a finely-tuned methodology, Hackcraft Red Team is highly capable of delivering exceptional Adversary Simulation services (Red Teaming).

By conducting an Adversary Simulation exercise, Hackcraft helps your organization gain valuable insights into its real-world security posture, identify weaknesses and gaps that may be exploited by attackers, and implement effective countermeasures to enhance its overall resilience against cyber threats. Our services provide actionable recommendations for improving your organization’s security practices, reducing the risk of data breaches and other security incidents, and maintaining a strong security posture in an ever-evolving threat landscape.

Cyber Red Teaming

Cyber Red Teaming is an advanced form of security assessment that involves simulating real-world adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to test an organization’s ability to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber attacks. Red Teaming exercises are designed to evaluate the effectiveness of an organization’s security measures across its people, processes, and technology. Hackcraft’s Cyber Red Teaming services help your organization identify weaknesses and gaps in its security posture, strengthen its defences, and enhance its overall resilience against cyber threats.

  • Bypassing security controls, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and antivirus solutions, to gain unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data
  • Maintain undetectability in the entire process

Lateral Movement and Persistence:

  • Simulating an attacker’s post-exploitation activities, such as lateral movement within the network, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and establishing persistence for future attacks
  • Identifying weaknesses in your organization’s security monitoring, incident response, and threat hunting capabilities

  • Conducting debriefing sessions with your organization’s stakeholders, IT, and security teams to discuss the findings, lessons learned, and recommendations for improvement

Remediation and Continuous Improvement:

  • Collaborating with your organization to develop and implement remediation plans for addressing identified weaknesses and gaps in its security posture
  • Conducting follow-up assessments to validate the effectiveness of implemented remediation measures and ensure continuous improvement of your organization’s security posture

Assume Breach

An Assume Breach Assessment is a security assessment approach that starts from the premise that an attacker has already gained a foothold in an organization’s IT infrastructure. The primary objective of this assessment is to evaluate the organization’s ability to detect, respond to, and remediate a security incident, as well as to identify and mitigate potential attack paths that could be exploited by an attacker to gain access to sensitive systems and data. Hackcraft’s Assume Breach Assessment services help your organization improve its incident response capabilities, strengthen its security posture, and enhance its resilience against cyber threats.

Our Assume Breach Assessment services adhere to industry-standard methodologies and include, at a minimum, the following activities:

Planning and Scoping:

  • Collaborating with your organization to define the objectives, scope, and rules of engagement for the Assume Breach Assessment
  • Establishing the initial compromise scenario, which serves as the starting point for the assessment

Initial Compromise Simulation:

  • Simulating the initial compromise, such as a phishing attack, to gain a foothold in your organization’s IT infrastructure
  • Establishing a covert presence in the environment while avoiding detection by security controls and monitoring systems

Lateral Movement and Privilege Escalation:

  • Performing post-compromise activities, such as lateral movement within the network, privilege escalation, and credential theft, to identify potential attack paths and weaknesses in your organization’s security measures
  • Assessing the organization’s ability to detect and respond to these activities, as well as the effectiveness of its security controls in limiting an attacker’s access and movement

Data Exfiltration and Persistence:

  • Simulating data exfiltration activities to evaluate your organization’s ability to detect and prevent the unauthorized transfer of sensitive information
  • Establishing persistence mechanisms that enable an attacker to maintain access to compromised systems and resources, and assessing the organization’s ability to identify and remediate these mechanisms

Incident Detection and Response Evaluation:

  • Analyzing the organization’s incident detection, response, and threat hunting capabilities in the context of the simulated breach scenario
  • Identifying gaps and weaknesses in the organization’s security monitoring, incident response processes, and threat intelligence capabilities

Reporting and Remediation Guidance:

  • Delivering a comprehensive Assume Breach Assessment report that includes detailed findings, lessons learned, and recommendations for improving your organization’s incident response capabilities and overall security posture
  • Collaborating with your organization to develop and implement remediation plans for addressing identified gaps and weaknesses in its security posture

Social Engineering

A Social Engineering Assessment is a security evaluation that focuses on testing an organization’s susceptibility to social engineering attacks. Social engineering attacks manipulate human psychology to deceive employees into revealing sensitive information, providing unauthorized access, or performing actions that compromise the organization’s security. Hackcraft’s Social Engineering Assessment services help your organization identify potential weaknesses in its security awareness training, employee behavior, and policies that may be exploited by attackers using social engineering techniques.

Our Social Engineering Assessment services adhere to industry-standard methodologies and include, at a minimum, the following activities:

Planning and Scoping:

  • Collaborating with your organization to define the objectives, scope, and rules of engagement for the Social Engineering Assessment
  • Developing realistic attack scenarios based on your organization’s industry, threat landscape, and specific security concerns

Reconnaissance and Information Gathering:

  • Researching publicly available information about your organization, its employees, and its operations to identify potential targets and create convincing attack scenarios
  • Analyzing your organization’s digital footprint, including social media presence, website content, and leaked data

Simulated Social Engineering Attacks:

  • Conducting a range of simulated social engineering attacks, to test your organization’s employees’ susceptibility to these tactics
  • Assessing employees’ responses to these attacks, including their ability to recognize the attack, report the incident, and follow established security protocols

Security Awareness Training Evaluation:

  • Analyzing the effectiveness of your organization’s security awareness training program, including its content, delivery method, and frequency
  • Identifying gaps and weaknesses in the training program that may contribute to employee susceptibility to social engineering attacks

Reporting and Remediation Guidance:

  • Delivering a comprehensive Social Engineering Assessment report that includes detailed findings, risk ratings, and recommendations for improving your organization’s security posture against social engineering attacks
  • Collaborating with your organization to develop and implement remediation plans for addressing identified weaknesses, including enhancing security awareness training, updating policies, and improving incident reporting processes
