Full-scope adversary emulation against a platform that maps the internet.

CloudRed Team

When your product is internet-wide scanning infrastructure, the interesting attack surface is not the login page.

The client asked for an objective-driven engagement rather than a checklist: start from the position of an ordinary customer and reach the scanning infrastructure.

The approach

We bought a subscription. Everything after that came from the product itself — the API, the query language, the export pipeline, and the assumptions each of them made about who was asking.

  • Tenant isolation review across the query and export paths.
  • Cloud infrastructure assessment from an authenticated foothold.
  • Detection validation — we told them what we did and when, and compared it to what their team saw.

Detection

Half the value was the purple-team debrief. Six of our nineteen actions were already alerting. Four more became alerts during the engagement. The rest turned into detection engineering work with a written rationale for each.

Same stack. Different aircraft.

If this reads like something in your programme, it probably is. Send us the architecture and we'll come back with a scope.

Bench to full compromise in four days.

A defence UAS prime handed us a production flight controller and asked how far we could get. Far enough that the fix shipped before the next flight test.

Actuator, ROS stack, and radio — one engagement.

Most firms can test one layer of a robotics platform. This client needed all three tested by people who understood how they interact.

Infected Drones: when the aircraft attacks the ground station.

Six ground-control and middleware projects, fifteen findings, one broken trust boundary. A compromised drone does not have to stay on the vehicle — it can reach up the command chain and own the operator.
