Human Ingenuity. Real Adversaries. Red Team Penetration Testing.

Our red team operations are conducted by the same elite penetration testers who've breached Fortune 500 defenses and government systems. We don't just find vulnerabilities—we exploit them like real attackers would.

Every Red Team assessment is structured around the globally recognized MITRE ATT&CK framework, ensuring our red team stays current with the latest tactics, techniques, and procedures used by real-world threat actors. This drives comprehensive, up-to-date, and industry-aligned testing.

Our Red Team engineers map out your public attack surface — often uncovering startling amounts of exposed data and hidden risks. By leveraging open-source intelligence, our Cybersecurity Red Team service shows you exactly what adversaries can learn about your organization and how they might use it to launch a targeted attack.

We use the latest exploit techniques, including leveraging cutting-edge AI pentest tools, to break through digital perimeters, escalate access privileges, and move laterally through your infrastructure. Our Red Team Operation performs deep dive assessments that reveal hidden vulnerabilities and path-of-least-resistance flaws before they can be abused by real attackers.

Our Red Team service deploys sophisticated, realistic social engineering campaigns — using email, phone calls, and even in-person approaches — to truly test how your staff respond under pressure. We turn each attempt into a learning moment, helping you build a smarter, more vigilant workforce.

From covert badge cloning to bypassing security checkpoints, the Raxis Red Team tests every layer of your physical defenses. Our experts mimic real intruders who don’t play by the rules, helping you see precisely where your buildings and facilities are most at risk.

Safe Exploitation

The Raxis Red Team uses advanced techniques and trusted tools such as Nmap and Metasploit to identify and safely exploit system vulnerabilities. Our collective expertise consistently delivers results that surpass industry competitors.

Privilege Escalation

We will elevate privileges by leveraging methods such as misconfigured permissions, exploiting vulnerabilities in the kernel, and taking advantage of weaknesses in local accounts. Once we gain a foothold, we pivot laterally through your network using tools like Mimikatz and PAExec to expand reach and access sensitive materials.

Password Cracking

Multi-GPU Hashcat password cracking at enterprise scale. We accurately simulate the most advanced attacker techniques to uncover weak credentials and strengthen your defenses.

Safe Data Exfiltration

Once we identify the most critical components of your environment, we safely demonstrate the ability to extract data without physically removing anything from your network. This clear proof of access highlights the severity of cybersecurity risk.

The Raxis Red Team Methodology

Our Red Team Penetration Testing methodology follows the industry standard MITRE ATT&CK framework.

Intelligence Gathering (OSINT & Reconnaissance)

Raxis Red Team security assessments start with extensive open-source intelligence (OSINT) reconnaissance. We examine public records, social media, leaked credentials, and exposed infrastructure to create a blueprint of your organization. This process reveals external vulnerabilities and prepares for the adversary simulation testing.

Network Exploitation & Lateral Movement

Our Red Team penetration testers use realistic intrusion techniques to compromise perimeter defenses and pivot inside your network. We perform spear phishing, exploit misconfigurations, escalate privileges, and move laterally to identify weaknesses in segmentation and monitoring. Raxis documents every TTP used so you can see exactly how a determined attacker might operate.

Social Engineering Penetration Testing

Raxis specializes in social engineering Red Team exercises, including phishing, vishing (voice phishing), smishing (SMS phishing), and in-person impersonation. These simulations measure employee awareness, test policy enforcement, and evaluate incident response procedures against human-targeted threats.

Physical Penetration Testing Services

Cybersecurity is only one layer of your defense. Raxis conducts physical security breach simulations, attempting badge cloning, tailgating, lock bypass, and device planting. These physical penetration testing activities determine whether physical safeguards match your cybersecurity posture.

Data Exfiltration & Business Impact Simulation

The ultimate goal of our Red Team penetration testing services is to show measurable business impact. Once objectives are achieved, we simulate the exfiltration of sensitive data or the disruption of critical operations — without causing damage — to clearly illustrate the potential consequences of a real attack.

Reporting, Remediation, and Retesting

Raxis concludes every Red Team security assessment with a detailed report mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. You’ll see where defenses held, where they failed, and receive prioritized remediation recommendations. We also offer retesting to verify that all vulnerabilities have been successfully closed.

Results That Drive Real Change

Raxis clients are often stunned to learn how close they were to a breach — even when recent assessments from other well-known cybersecurity firms gave them a “clean” report. In today’s threat landscape, choosing a low-quality vendor isn’t just a bad investment — it’s a serious risk to your business.

A Raxis Red Team penetration testing engagement uncovers hidden vulnerabilities and provides clear, actionable evidence that drives board-level urgency. Our findings help executives prioritize the most critical business risks, allocate resources effectively, and strengthen defenses before a real-world attack can occur.

Talent Is Our Unique Edge

Many firms hire big-name security vendors for an annual checkup — yet dangerous vulnerabilities still remain, only to be discovered by a security breach. We've seen this happen time and time again.

Raxis is the team organizations call next, and we almost always find critical gaps that were left behind by the previous vendor.

Raxis Hack Stories

Our stories are based on real events encountered by Raxis engineers; however, some details have been altered or omitted to protect our customers’ identities.

In a daring demonstration of real-world adversary simulation, the Raxis Red Team set out to test the defenses of a major national retailer. Our mission was simple in concept but complex in execution: think like an attacker, move like an attacker, and uncover the true extent of the company’s vulnerabilities. The engagement began quietly. Armed with Aircrack-ng, our penetration testing experts focused on the retailer’s wireless network. During what appeared to be a routine handshake process, we captured the network’s encryption key. Within hours, Raxis’ multi-GPU Hashcat system had cracked it wide open — our first entry point into their digital environment.

Once inside the wireless network, we shifted to internal penetration testing. Using CrackMapExec, we discovered a shockingly simple oversight — a system still protected by its default password. In the world of cybersecurity, that’s the equivalent of leaving the keys in the ignition and the doors unlocked. This single lapse granted us local administrator privileges, which we used to dump SAM hashes and begin moving laterally. One by one, we gained control of additional systems, each step bringing us closer to the ultimate prize: domain administrator access.

Late into the night, our team fed the coveted domain admin hash into Raxis’ powerful Hashcat cracking rig. By morning, we had the credentials in hand. When we returned to the client’s environment, the validation was instant — we now had full control of the entire Active Directory domain, with the same privileges as their own IT administrators.

Deep in the environment, we uncovered something with far more than symbolic value: a custom application and database containing store-branded gift cards and PINs. Even more alarming, we had the capability to generate new cards on demand. For a criminal actor, this would be an open vault. For the retailer, it was a wake-up call about the potential financial and reputational impact of weak security controls.

This Raxis Red Team penetration testing engagement wasn’t a scripted exercise. It was a full-spectrum test designed to mimic a determined adversary, combining wireless penetration testing, privilege escalation, and targeted data access to reveal how a single overlooked control can cascade into total compromise. By blending human-led expertise with AI-driven efficiency, Raxis shows clients exactly how attackers could breach their defenses — and gives them the insight to prevent it from happening in the real world.
