Advanced Penetration Testing MR Richard Knowell

This is second edition of the book "Red Team: An Attack Paradigm." In the first edition, we had introduced the readers to Red Teaming concepts and focused on breaching the internal network of an organization. This book continues on the same theme and expands with new threat profiles that target different organizations. The books expands on techniques of privilege escalation and persistence both in Linux and Windows world. The book explores the new attack strategy that the organizations now need to embrace to combat the modern cyber threat. The book details from start to finish how to set up a Red Team practice within an organization. It defines the overall approach, the strategy required, the tools of the craft, etc. that would allow Information Security professionals within an organization to understand how they can set up a Red Team practice. The book also details the required infrastructure setup, defines examples of how to create engagements based on Threat Actor profiles and uses real world case studies as ways of justifying those examples. The book has been created with one goal in mind .i.e. to help security professionals use their current skill-sets and build on top of it to be a part of the new paradigm that will change the way organizations do their defense.
