🛡️ Sherlocked Security – Red-Team-Lite (Adversary Emulation)

When You’re Not Ready for Full Red Team – But Ready to Be Tested


📄 1. Statement of Work (SOW)

Service Name: Red-Team-Lite – Adversary Emulation
Client Type: Mid to Large Enterprises, BFSI, FinTech, Tech Startups
Service Model: Hybrid Threat Simulation (External + Internal + Social)
Compliance Coverage: MITRE ATT&CK Mapping, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, RBI, CERT-IN
Testing Types:

  • Initial Access Vector Simulation
  • Phishing & Payload Delivery
  • Credential Harvesting & Lateral Movement
  • Endpoint & Network Evasion Techniques
  • Privilege Escalation & Targeted Goal Emulation
  • Threat Actor TTP Emulation (APT, Crimeware, Insider)

🧠 2. Our Approach

🎯 Simulate. Adapt. Assess Defenses.

[Recon & Setup] → [Initial Access] → [Execution & Persistence] → [Lateral Movement] → [Objective Execution] → [Detection Analysis] → [Debrief & Report]


🧪 3. Methodology (with Visual)

[Initial Meeting] → [Threat Actor Selection] → [TTP Planning] → [Access Simulation] → [Attack Path Execution] → [Impact Measurement] → [Detection Review] → [Reporting + Purple Debrief]


📦 4. Deliverables to the Client

  1. 🧾 Red-Team-Lite Report with MITRE Mapping
  2. 🎯 Emulated Attack Objectives & Kill Chain
  3. 🧰 Access Vectors, Credentials Used, Movement Logs
  4. 📈 Detection Matrix (What Was & Wasn’t Detected)
  5. 🛡️ Blue Team Readiness Feedback
  6. 🧠 Purple Team Debrief Session (Optional)
  7. 🏆 Adversary Emulation Scorecard
  8. 🔁 Fix Recommendations + Optional Retest

🤝 5. What We Need from You (Client Requirements)

  • ✅ Scope agreement & NDA
  • ✅ Asset inventory (IP ranges, user base)
  • ✅ Threat actor type selection (APT, Insider, etc.)
  • ✅ Security stack overview (EDR, SIEM, NDR)
  • ✅ Contact point for deconfliction
  • ✅ Optional – Blue team separation (for stealth assessment)

🧰 6. Tools & Technology Stack

  • 🛠️ C2: Cobalt Strike (licensed), Brute Ratel, Mythic
  • ⚙️ Delivery: Gophish, Custom Loaders
  • 💡 Execution: LOLBAS, PowerShell, MSBuild
  • 🛰️ Lateral Movement: PsExec, WMI, RDP
  • 🕵️ AV/EDR Evasion: Obfuscation, DLL sideloading
  • 📊 SIEM Detection Benchmarking

🚀 7. Engagement Lifecycle (Lead → Closure)

1. Scoping & Threat Actor Selection → 2. Recon & Access Setup → 3. Campaign Execution → 4. Lateral Movement + Privilege Escalation → 5. Goal Simulation → 6. Logging & Detection Review → 7. Purple Debrief → 8. Report Submission


🌟 8. Why Sherlocked Security? (Our USP)

Feature Sherlocked Advantage
🧠 Real TTP Emulation Based on MITRE ATT&CK & real threat actor data
🔎 Purple Team Collaboration Debrief with SOC for detection maturity
⚖️ Controlled Intrusion Risks managed for business continuity
🛠️ Customizable Attack Paths Choose APT, Ransomware, or Insider scenarios
📈 Measurable Outcomes Mapped kill chain, impact timeline, detection success

📚 9. Real-World Case Studies

🕶️ Insider Threat Simulation

Entry Vector: Compromised VPN credentials
Action: Access to SharePoint, lateral move to R&D share
Impact: Downloaded PII & source code samples
Fix: Conditional access rules, SOC alerting enhancement


💣 Ransomware TTP Emulation

TTP Used: Trickbot > Cobalt Strike > File encryption
Target: Finance and HR folders
Outcome: AV evasion successful, partial detection in SIEM
Fix: Hardened EDR policy, improved lateral movement alerts


🛡️ 10. SOP – Standard Operating Procedure

  1. Scope & NDA
  2. Threat actor profile & goals
  3. Recon & access setup
  4. Payload development
  5. Initial access & privilege testing
  6. Lateral movement & goal simulation
  7. Kill chain mapping & impact
  8. Purple team review + report

📋 11. Sample Red-Team-Lite Checklist (Preview)

  1. Define threat actor profile and objectives.
  2. Conduct open-source intelligence (OSINT).
  3. Gain initial access through phishing/exploits.
  4. Establish C2 channels using evasive techniques.
  5. Enumerate internal network and assets.
  6. Move laterally and escalate privileges.
  7. Simulate data exfiltration.
  8. Evade detection and monitoring systems.
  9. Record all activities and time-to-detection.
  10. Debrief and provide actionable blue-team feedback.
