Overview of this book

It's now more important than ever for organizations to be ready to detect and respond to security events and breaches. Preventive measures alone are not enough for dealing with adversaries. A well-rounded prevention, detection, and response program is required. This book will guide you through the stages of building a red team program, including strategies and homefield advantage opportunities to boost security. The book starts by guiding you through establishing, managing, and measuring a red team program, including effective ways for sharing results and findings to raise awareness. Gradually, you'll learn about progressive operations such as cryptocurrency mining, focused privacy testing, targeting telemetry, and even blue team tooling. Later, you'll discover knowledge graphs and how to build them, then become well-versed with basic to advanced techniques related to hunting for credentials, and learn to automate Microsoft Office and browsers to your advantage. Finally, you'll get to grips with protecting assets using decoys, auditing, and alerting with examples for major operating systems. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to build, manage, and measure a red team program effectively and be well-versed with the fundamental operational techniques required to enhance your existing skills.

Improving documentation with custom Hacker Shell prompts

There will be times a pen tester needs to produce evidence of whether they did or did not do certain activities; during a blue team investigation, it is required to understand more precisely when a certain command was run. As highlighted in the first part of this book, strategies for this include keeping good notes and screenshots, logging and storing C2 traffic, as well as leveraging screen recordings for sensitive actions.

It can also be useful to include the date and time (and, of course, the user) in the shell prompt. The goal is that screenshots contain that information automatically. Feel free to play around with these options until you find something that suits your needs—or just leave everything with the defaults. Let's dive into some ideas and existing solutions for modifying Command Prompts to improve documentation and its usability.
