What you'll learn

Defenders often spend most of their resources trying to stop a break-in, but they might remain blind to what an attacker does once they are actually inside the network and moving toward their end goal. In this course, Red Team Operations: Execution and Impact, you’ll gain the ability to execute high-impact adversary simulations that test whether a company can actually detect and stop the final stages of a breach. First, you’ll explore cover and deception techniques, implementing decoys and misdirection to frustrate defenders while maintaining strict operational security.

Next, you’ll discover how to forge and deploy ransomware payloads, manage encryption processes, and simulate a real-world destructive attack.

Finally, you’ll learn how to perform stealthy data exfiltration and secure data wiping, moving sensitive targets out of the network before destroying the evidence to bypass forensic recovery. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of advanced red team impact tactics needed to demonstrate real-world consequences and improve organizational response capabilities.
