Conduct adversary emulation exercises using Atomic Red Team. The project will involve multiple phases, each focusing on different aspects of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures $($TTPs$)$as defined by the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Using Window Virtual Machine Powershell $($UTM$)$

Task Phases:

Setup and Configuration:

Lab:$$Install and configure Atomic Red Team on a Windows virtual machine. Task:$$Ensure all necessary dependencies are installed and the environment is ready for running atomic tests.

Deliverable:$$A report detailing the setup process, including any challenges faced and how they were resolved.

Initial Reconnaissance:

Lab:$$Use Atomic Red Team to simulate reconnaissance activities such as network scanning and OSINT.

Task:$$Execute atomic tests related to reconnaissance techniques and document the findings.

Deliverable:$$A report on the reconnaissance activities, including identified network assets and potential vulnerabilities.

Execution of Adversary Techniques:

Lab:$$Select and execute a series of atomic tests that simulate various adversary techniques $($e$.$g$.,$credential dumping, lateral movement$).$

Task:$$Run the selected atomic tests and analyze the results.

Deliverable:$$A detailed report on the executed techniques, their impact, and any detected anomalies.

Detection and Monitoring:

Lab:$$Configure and use monitoring tools $($e$.$g$.,$Snort$,$Wireshark$)$to detect the simulated adversary activities.

Task:$$Analyze the monitoring logs to identify and document any detected adversary behaviors.

Deliverable:$$A report on the detection capabilities and any gaps identified during the monitoring phase.

Incident Response:

Lab:$$Develop an incident response plan based on the detected adversary activities.

Task:$$Contain$,$eradicate$,$and recover from the simulated incidents.

Deliverable:$$A comprehensive incident response report detailing the steps taken and the effectiveness of the response.

System Hardening:

Lab:$$Implement system hardening measures on the Linux virtual machine to mitigate vulnerabilities and enhance security.

Task:$$Apply best practices for system hardening, such as configuring firewalls, disabling unnecessary services, and applying security patches.

Deliverable:$$A report on the system hardening measures implemented and their impact on the security posture of the environment.

Deliverables:

Phase Reports:$$Detailed reports for each phase, including methodologies, findings, and recommendations.

Documentation:$$All scripts, configurations, and tools used during the project.
