AD Red Team

AD Red Team Service

Don't just patch findings.
Test real detection.

A goal-oriented adversary simulation testing whether your people, processes and technology can detect and respond to a real attack โ€” using the same TTPs as APT actors, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.

Service positioning

A pentest finds holes. A red team tests response.

The question isn't just "can we be breached?" โ€” it's "would we detect it before it matters?"

Standard vulnerability testing

โœ• Scoped to finding as many vulnerabilities as possible.
โœ• Doesn't test whether your SOC actually detects an attack.
โœ• Rarely simulates a real, goal-driven adversary.
โœ• Limited insight into people/process gaps.

Ignite's red team approach

โœ“ Operators with real-world red team and APT simulation experience.
โœ“ Custom C2 infrastructure and payload development per engagement.
โœ“ MITRE ATT&CK aligned reporting for direct SIEM/SOC integration.
โœ“ Available for CBEST, TIBER-EU and regulatory red team frameworks.
Engagement types

Choose the right scope for your goals

Four ways to engage, from full covert simulation to collaborative blue-team testing.

Full Red Team

Covert, goal-based adversary simulation.

Assume Breach

Test response from a known-compromised position.

Purple Team

Collaborative testing with your blue team.

Physical Red Team

Tailgating, lock picking, insider threat simulation.

Operation flow

Seven phases, one objective

Each engagement follows a disciplined, low-noise operational sequence.

01ReconOSINT, zero contact
02Initial AccessPhishing, social eng.
03FootholdC2 & persistence
04Internal ReconAD & network mapping
05EscalationLateral movement
06Mission & ReportObjective + debrief
7 attack phases

Full operation, phase by phase

Click a phase to see what it covers.

OSINT, social media profiling, employee enumeration, technology fingerprinting โ€” zero interaction with target systems.

Phishing campaigns, spear-phishing, watering hole, physical social engineering, credential stuffing.

Deploy C2 beacon, establish persistence, validate access without triggering detections.

Active Directory enumeration, network mapping, data store discovery, crown jewel identification.

Domain escalation, credential theft, pivoting across network segments, AD compromise.

Simulate data exfiltration, demonstrate ransomware deployment path, access critical systems.

Full TTP narrative, detection gaps identified, Blue Team debrief, MITRE ATT&CK heat map, remediation roadmap.

I came across Ignite as a training centre in my career journey, and I must say, the learning guides provided by the Ignite team have been valuable for our research and development in penetration testing and red teaming.

FAQ

Before you start

How is this different from a penetration test?+
A pentest maximizes vulnerabilities found. A red team engagement tests whether your people, processes and technology can detect and respond to a realistic, goal-driven attack.
Can this be run as a purple team exercise?+
Yes โ€” engagements can be scoped as collaborative purple team exercises alongside your blue team.
Is reporting mapped to MITRE ATT&CK?+
Yes. Every engagement delivers a full TTP narrative and MITRE ATT&CK heat map for direct SIEM/SOC integration.
Do you support regulatory red team frameworks?+
Yes, engagements are available under CBEST, TIBER-EU, and similar regulatory red team frameworks.
