Training

Red Team Operations

The same work we run on engagements, taught as a self-paced course. Recon through close. Labs that match the lessons. A student tool pack you actually use.

This is not awareness training. It is the engagement lifecycle, in order, from an operator's chair. You stand up C2, weaponize payloads, work a host after the callback, escalate, persist, move through Active Directory, and close the job. Havoc is the C2. The AD lab is a domain we built for the course, with the same classes of misconfiguration we see on assessments.

What you work through

  • Governance, adversary emulation, and recon
  • Attack infrastructure, C2, and cloud redirectors
  • OPSEC, weaponization, and post-exploitation
  • Local privilege escalation and persistence
  • Active Directory, credentials, lateral movement
  • Enterprise services and engagement close

How it is taught

  • Written lessons, one technique at a time
  • An AD sandbox with planted attack paths
  • Cloud lab deploy from the training portal
  • Student tool pack used in the modules, not a separate download dump
  • Capstone: chain the techniques without a walkthrough

Who it is for

  • Operators who already have a shell and need the rest of the job
  • Consultants moving from pentest into Red Team work
  • Teams that want a shared language and lab, not a slide deck

The course lives on training.init1security.com. For a private class, book a scope call.
