The craft

Hacking is disciplined curiosity. It is the process of understanding how a system behaves under stress and then shaping that stress to your advantage.

Why it matters

Security teams that study offensive tactics gain empathy for the adversary and sharpen their own detection story.

Toolkit

  1. Reconnaissance to map the terrain.
  2. Initial access that avoids noisy footholds.
  3. Privilege escalation that resists containment.
  4. Exfiltration that respects operational security.

Practice responsibly. Every exercise is an agreement with the business.
