Malwareless Adversarial Emulation

Living off the Knowledge

If this is your first time reading content from me, I hope you enjoy the journey ahead. This course is designed to take you through intermediate approaches to red teaming, focusing on situational awareness, decision-making, and using your knowledge to assess and adapt to your environments.

Who This Course Is For

Operators, Builders, Defenders and the Curious

Perfect For:

  • Offensive practitioners
  • Internal red teams
  • Detection engineers
  • Defensive roles wanting to understand real adversary behaviour

You don't need to be a full-time red teamer to benefit. Whether you're building detections, validating controls, or simply trying to sharpen your adversary thinking, this course will give you the hands-on tradecraft, mindset, and structure to level up your work.

Philosophy of Malwareless Red Teaming

Not everything in red teaming revolves around Command and Control (C2)

Successful Adversaries Operate:

  • Without malware
  • Without implants
  • By blending into their environment
  • By exploiting native capabilities to reduce noise and avoid detection

Our Approach

Effective red teaming isn't just about execution, it's about understanding. Great operators read documentation, study technologies, and exploit flawed assumptions.

The broader your knowledge, the better your decision-making.

What You'll Learn

This course is for practitioners who want to:

  • Emulate adversaries without malware
  • Operate without traditional C2 infrastructure
  • Leave a minimal footprint
  • Use proxy chains, SOCKS tunnels, and native tooling
  • Navigate hybrid environments
  • Escalate access and move laterally
  • Abuse pipelines and pivot in cloud environments
  • Deliver high-quality offensive documentation

This course is about how real red team operations are conducted and how they should be read.

A Word on Piracy

Any course will be pirated at some point. So, if you're reading this and downloaded it without paying, I'm humbled you thought it was good enough to pirate, but I'm also a bit sad that you chose not to support my hard work. Alas, shit happens.
