Red Team & Adversary Emulation

Real adversaries don't follow scoping documents. They chain social engineering, custom exploits, and patient lateral movement into full compromise. We replicate APT campaigns end-to-end using custom-developed tooling and techniques from deep offensive research.

Why This Matters

Penetration tests find technical vulnerabilities. Red team assessments answer a different question: can a motivated attacker breach your organization despite your security controls, monitoring, and response procedures? If you've never tested your defences against a realistic, multi-stage attack campaign, you don't know.

What We Test

Initial access: phishing, spear-phishing, vishing, physical access, supply chain simulation
Custom exploit development and delivery
Lateral movement and privilege escalation across networks and cloud
Persistence mechanisms and C2 infrastructure
Data discovery and exfiltration
Detection evasion against EDR, email gateways, proxies, and DLP
Incident response capability: does your SOC detect and respond?
Full kill chain execution from reconnaissance to objectives

How We Work

MITRE ATT&CK-mapped TTPs tailored to threat actors relevant to your sector. Multi-stage campaigns spanning weeks, not days. Custom tooling developed in-house, including Modlishka, the 2FA bypass framework presented at DEFCON. We operate covertly under agreed rules of engagement, with a safety net for immediate escalation of critical findings.

What You Get

Full attack narrative: how we got in, what we found, how far we got
MITRE ATT&CK mapping of all techniques used
Detection gap analysis: what your SOC caught vs. missed
Strategic recommendations for security program improvement
Executive briefing for board/leadership
Optional: purple team follow-up to close detection gaps

Why SharpSec

We build the tools

Modlishka (2FA phishing framework, DEFCON) was written by our team. We bring attacker-grade custom tooling to every engagement, not off-the-shelf C2 frameworks.

No handoffs

The senior engineer who scopes your engagement leads the execution. No handoffs between sales and delivery, no delegation to junior staff.

Research-backed techniques

Our attack techniques come from original security research and published vulnerability disclosures.

Campaign patience

Real adversaries operate over weeks, not hours. We run multi-week campaigns with the persistence needed to find the paths that shorter engagements miss.
