Publisher's Synopsis
Master the art of offensive security with advanced red team techniques that mirror real-world adversaries.
Red Team Techniques for Network Penetration Testing is your comprehensive guide to professional red teaming, Active Directory exploitation, lateral movement, and command-and-control (C2) operations. Whether you're an aspiring ethical hacker, penetration tester, SOC analyst, or security consultant, this book delivers the technical depth and hands-on strategies needed to simulate modern adversaries and evade advanced defenses.
Covering everything from initial foothold to domain dominance, you'll learn how attackers exploit Active Directory, abuse trust relationships, bypass endpoint detection and response (EDR), and build stealthy C2 infrastructures using frameworks like Cobalt Strike, Sliver, and Mythic.
Inside, you'll uncover:
Realistic red team attack chains modeled on enterprise environments
Exploitation of Kerberos, NTLM, AS-REP Roasting, and DCSync
Abusing unconstrained delegation, ACLs, and cross-domain trust
Effective lateral movement using PsExec, WMI, WinRM, and fileless payloads
Building resilient C2 channels, redirectors, and operational infrastructure
Techniques for evading AV/EDR, timestomping, and forensic evasion
Writing impactful engagement reports, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and NIST
OPSEC, cleanup, and responsible red team operations
Whether you're preparing for red team assessments, improving your adversary simulation skills, or transitioning from blue team to offensive security, this field-ready book is packed with tested techniques, code samples, and professional insights based on today's most prevalent attacker tradecraft.
Perfect for:
Penetration Testers and Red Teamers
Ethical Hackers and Adversary Emulation Experts
Cybersecurity Consultants and SOC Analysts
Blue Teamers seeking offensive insights
OSCP, CRTP, and CRTO candidates
Stay ahead of threat actors. Learn how they think, move, and persist-then use that knowledge to outsmart them.
