Selecting the Right Tool(s) for Your Red Team Operation from Pluralsight

In this course, you’ll learn from Cyber-Security experts Dale Meredith and Aaron Rosenmund as they discuss the importance of choosing the right tool for your red team engagements, as well as their own favorite tools that they recommend to not only recon a target but obtaining access.

You have been hired to test the security of a given enterprise network systems and its assets. Choosing the right tool can make the difference between a successful engagement and a total fail. With our toolkit already assembled, we will identify, recommend, and decide on the best way forth, to emulate a real-life red team operation attack. Why? These actions will help ensure that exploits/weaknesses can be detected and prevented by the organization’s blue team.
