red-team-tactics

red-team-tactics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ivanshtokov/copilot-kit. It costs 26 tokens per session (991 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of red-team-tactics, MIT.

A reference guide to red-team security exercises based on MITRE ATT&CK, a framework that describes common steps attackers take.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan or describe simulated attacks across stages such as reconnaissance, gaining access, execution, persistence, privilege escalation, data collection, and exfiltration.
Why use it?
It gives security work a shared structure for thinking about attack stages, possible objectives, and detection risks.

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 B, and why

red-team-tactics scanned grade B 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.

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.

Harvests environment variablesmediumData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

| **Credential Access** | Harvest credentials |

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Red Team Tactics

Adversary simulation principles based on MITRE ATT&CK framework.


1. MITRE ATT&CK Phases

Attack Lifecycle

RECONNAISSANCE → INITIAL ACCESS → EXECUTION → PERSISTENCE
       ↓              ↓              ↓            ↓
   PRIVILEGE ESC → DEFENSE EVASION → CRED ACCESS → DISCOVERY
       ↓              ↓              ↓            ↓
LATERAL MOVEMENT → COLLECTION → C2 → EXFILTRATION → IMPACT

Phase Objectives

Phase Objective
Recon Map attack surface
Initial Access Get first foothold
Execution Run code on target
Persistence Survive reboots
Privilege Escalation Get admin/root
Defense Evasion Avoid detection
Credential Access Harvest credentials
Discovery Map internal network
Lateral Movement Spread to other systems
Collection Gather target data
C2 Maintain command channel
Exfiltration Extract data

2. Reconnaissance Principles

Passive vs Active

Type Trade-off
Passive No target contact, limited info
Active Direct contact, more detection risk

Information Targets

Category Value
Technology stack Attack vector selection
Employee info Social engineering
Network ranges Scanning scope
Third parties Supply chain attack

3. Initial Access Vectors

Selection Criteria

Vector When to Use
Phishing Human target, email access
Public exploits Vulnerable services exposed
Valid credentials Leaked or cracked
Supply chain Third-party access

4. Privilege Escalation Principles

Windows Targets

Check Opportunity
Unquoted service paths Write to path
Weak service permissions Modify service
Token privileges Abuse SeDebug, etc.
Stored credentials Harvest

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

red-team-tactics is a skill published in the GitHub repository ivanshtokov/copilot-kit (2 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 991 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (harvests environment variables). It is 92% identical to red-team-tactics, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
