#  Red Team - Offensive Security



An ongoing & curated collection of awesome software best practices and techniques, libraries and frameworks, E-books and videos, websites, blog posts, links to github Repositories, technical guidelines and important resources about Red Team (Offensive) in Cybersecurity.

> Thanks to all contributors, you're awesome and wouldn't be possible without you! Our goal is to build a categorized community-driven collection of very well-known resources.



## `What is a Red Team?`

- A [red team](https://purplesec.us/red-team-vs-blue-team-cyber-security/#Red) consists of security professionals who act as adversaries to overcome cyber security controls. Red teams often consist of independent ethical hackers who evaluate system security in an objective manner.



 

- They utilize all the available techniques (discussed below) to find weaknesses in people, processes, and technology to gain unauthorized access to assets. As a result of these simulated attacks, red teams make recommendations and plans on how to strengthen an organization’s security posture.



![red](https://github.com/paulveillard/cybersecurity-red-team/blob/main/img/red-purple-blueteam.png)



**Red teams** are *offensive security* professionals who are experts in attacking systems and breaking into defenses. **Blue teams** are *defensive security *professionals responsible for maintaining internal network defenses against all cyber attacks and threats. 



> Red teams simulate attacks against blue teams to test the effectiveness of the network’s security.
