red-team-tactics

red-team-tactics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from phuonghx/aim-cli. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,086 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for planning authorised security tests by following the stages a real attacker might use, from reconnaissance to impact. MITRE ATT&CK is a public catalogue of attacker behaviours and techniques.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scope penetration tests, organise red-team exercises, choose objectives for each attack stage, and document findings for defenders.
Why use it?
It gives a security team a shared way to plan tests, limit their scope and potential harm, and find gaps in monitoring before an actual attack does.

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

red-team-tactics 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 4d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

On **Linux**, look for SUID binaries that run as a more privileged owner, sudo rules that permit unintended commands, kernel versions with known local exploits, and cron jobs pointing at scripts you can write to.

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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Red Team Tactics

Red teaming exists to make defenders better by safely rehearsing how a real attacker would behave. Everything below assumes written authorization, a defined scope, and an intent to report rather than to harm.

The ATT&CK lifecycle

An engagement moves through recognizable stages. They are not strictly linear -- escalation and discovery often loop -- but each has a job:

Stage What it accomplishes
Reconnaissance chart the attack surface
Initial access establish the first foothold
Execution run code on the target
Persistence survive reboots and logouts
Privilege escalation reach admin or root
Defense evasion stay below detection thresholds
Credential access collect usable credentials
Discovery learn the internal layout
Lateral movement reach additional hosts
Collection gather the data of interest
Command & control hold a reliable channel back
Exfiltration / impact remove data or demonstrate effect

Reconnaissance

The first trade-off is passive versus active. Passive collection never touches the target -- low risk, limited yield. Active probing engages it directly -- richer data, higher chance of being noticed. Sequence accordingly: exhaust passive sources before generating traffic.

What is worth finding, and why:

Finding Why it matters
Technology stack shapes which exploits are viable
Staff and roles feeds social-engineering pretexts
IP/network ranges bounds the scanning scope
Vendors and partners opens supply-chain angles

Gaining initial access

Choose the vector that fits the target and the rules of engagement:

Vector When it fits
Phishing a human target with reachable email
Public exploit an exposed, unpatched service
Valid credentials leaked, reused, or cracked logins
Supply chain trusted third-party access exists

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 phuonghx/aim-cli (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,086 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
