From scope to priorities.

We map the infrastructure, examine its controls and review agreed visibility paths before setting remediation priorities.

  1. Agree the scope

    We agree infrastructure, cloud accounts, objectives and rules of engagement with your team.

  2. Map the estate

    We map C2 channels, redirectors, deployment paths and cloud boundaries within the approved scope.

  3. Review the controls

    We assess channel OPSEC, access boundaries and infrastructure-as-code practices, including rotation and disposability.

  4. Check defender visibility

    Where agreed, we compare scoped activity with available telemetry to examine exposure and detection paths.

  5. Prioritize the fixes

    We report observed findings, review limits and remediation priorities for the infrastructure in scope.

What this engagement covers

When you need it

  • Your red team needs an independent review of its C2 infrastructure and hardening priorities
  • Your detection team wants to examine visibility into selected adversary infrastructure
  • Your security leaders need an infrastructure-specific view of operational risk

What we test

  • C2 channel selection and OPSEC across scoped DNS, HTTPS, mTLS, WebSocket and API tunnels
  • Redirector architecture using web servers, CDNs and serverless components
  • Infrastructure-as-code hygiene, repeatable deployment, rotation and disposability
  • Cloud posture and access boundaries across scoped AWS, Azure and GCP environments
  • Infrastructure exposure and the detection paths available to defenders

What you get

  • An annotated map of the infrastructure and exposure paths reviewed
  • Findings supported by observed evidence, with review limits recorded
  • Prioritized hardening recommendations and remediation considerations
  • A readout connecting technical findings to operational risk

How it runs

  • Architecture review: We review agreed designs, configurations, deployment code and infrastructure.
  • Review with detection checks: Selected exposure and detection checks agreed with your infrastructure and detection teams.
  • Duration: Agreed at scoping, based on the estate, access arrangements and the selected checks.
  • What we need from you: A named owner, approved scope and rules of engagement, architecture and deployment material, agreed access and, when detection checks are included, the relevant telemetry.

Principal-level operators direct the review; AI widens the search, and our operators prove what is real within the approved scope. The review draws on the C2 infrastructure research published on Hacker Hermanos.

Standards

  • MITRE ATT&CK
  • CIS Benchmarks

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a covert red team operation?
This is a scoped review of red team infrastructure, its controls and its exposure, with any active checks agreed in the rules of engagement.
Can our detection team take part?
Yes, scope can include selected exposure and detection checks using the telemetry your team provides to examine what becomes visible.
Which cloud environments can be reviewed?
Scope can include AWS, Azure and GCP, together with the C2 channels, redirectors and deployment paths that connect the infrastructure under review.
