conducting-full-scope-red-team-engagement

conducting-full-scope-red-team-engagement is a skill for Claude Code from 26zl/cybersec-toolkit. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,996 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A full red-team engagement procedure that simulates a real attacker from public reconnaissance through intrusion, persistence, internal movement, and data theft to evaluate the complete defensive response.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for an authorized, objective-based assessment aligned with MITRE ATT&CK, a catalog of common attacker techniques, covering people, processes, technology, and security monitoring across the organization.
Why use it?
It tests whether an organization can prevent, detect, investigate, and contain a realistic attack, including attacks designed to remain hidden.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

conducting-full-scope-red-team-engagement scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/agent.py, scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Conducting Full-Scope Red Team Engagement

Overview

A full-scope red team engagement simulates real-world adversary behavior across all phases of the cyber kill chain — from initial reconnaissance through data exfiltration — to evaluate an organization's detection, prevention, and response capabilities. Unlike penetration testing, red team operations prioritize stealth, persistence, and objective-based scenarios that mimic advanced persistent threats (APTs).

When to Use

  • When conducting security assessments that involve conducting full scope red team engagement
  • When following incident response procedures for related security events
  • When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
  • When validating security controls through hands-on testing

Prerequisites

  • Written authorization (Rules of Engagement document) signed by executive leadership
  • Defined scope including in-scope/out-of-scope systems, escalation contacts, and emergency stop procedures
  • Threat intelligence on relevant adversary groups (e.g., APT29, FIN7, Lazarus Group)
  • Red team infrastructure: C2 servers, redirectors, phishing domains, payload development environment
  • Legal review confirming compliance with Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and local laws

Engagement Phases

Phase 1: Planning and Threat Modeling

Map the engagement to specific MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques based on the threat profile:

conducting-full-scope-red-team-engagement is a skill published in the GitHub repository 26zl/cybersec-toolkit (54 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,996 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
