Extensive Assignment 1: Comprehensive Cybersecurity Red Team Exercise
Objective
: To simulate a real-world cyber attack scenario by acting as a 'Red Team' to test the defenses of a 'Blue Team' (defenders).
Instructions
:
1.
Team Formation & Scenario Development
: Form a Red Team. Develop a detailed and realistic cyber attack scenario against a fictional organization. The scenario should include the organization's profile, network architecture, and potential vulnerabilities.
2.
Attack Planning
: Plan a series of cyber attacks (e.g., phishing, exploiting network vulnerabilities, SQL injection) aligning with the
scenario. Prepare a detailed document outlining your attack vectors, methods, and goals.
3.
Execution Simulation
: Simulate the execution of your attack plan. Document each step, including how you would bypass security controls and gain access to sensitive information or systems.
4.
Analysis & Reporting
: Post-simulation, analyze the effectiveness of your attacks. Prepare a comprehensive report detailing the simulated breaches, the effectiveness of the organization's security measures, and the response of the Blue Team.
5.
Recommendations
: Provide a detailed set of recommendations for the organization to improve its cybersecurity posture, based on the vulnerabilities and weaknesses you identified during your Red Team exercise.
