🔴 Red Team: Key Description

Purpose: Identify and exploit vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and human behavior to simulate what a real attacker could do.
Approach: Offensive — they think and act like adversaries.
Goal: Assess how well the Blue Team (defensive team) detects, responds to, and mitigates attacks.
Techniques Used:
- Phishing and social engineering
- Exploiting misconfigurations
- Bypassing security controls
- Gaining persistent access
- Lateral movement within networks
- Command and control (C2) infrastructure

🧠 Common Tools and Frameworks

Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, Nmap, Burp Suite
MITRE ATT&CK framework for simulating attacker behavior

🏁 Outcome

A detailed report highlighting exploited vulnerabilities
Recommendations for improving defenses
Metrics on how quickly and effectively the organization detected and responded

🔵 Blue Team: Key Description

In cybersecurity, the Blue Team is responsible for defending an organization's information systems against cyber threats. They monitor, detect, and respond to security incidents in real time and work proactively to strengthen security posture.

🛡️ Blue Team Responsibilities

Threat detection and monitoring using tools like SIEMs (Security Information and Event Management)
Incident response: Analyzing and mitigating attacks as they happen
Forensics: Investigating breaches to understand the attack path and scope
Vulnerability management: Patching and securing weak points
Security hardening: Implementing controls like firewalls, MFA, and endpoint protection
User awareness training: Reducing human error through education
