Why red teaming important?

The information security stakes for organizations have never been higher. Nation-states and wired criminals are mounting attacks with increased sophistication. Consumer awareness about information security continues to rise and, with it, greater expectations about the protectors of their data.

Meanwhile, regulators have ratcheted up their scrutiny of data-handling practices, most notably in the European Union, where violations of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) can result in penalties of $23 million, or 4% of global revenue, whichever is higher.

Red teaming can give an organization the kind of comprehensive testing needed to expose vulnerabilities at every attack level and allow it to better understand how to respond to cyberattacks. Red teaming goes beyond system-specific tests and focuses on an organization’s assets—looking at, for example, the risk of intellectual property theft and the security of customer contact lists, personal identifiable information, and payment details.

so here let us find a collection of open source and commercial tools that aid in red team operations. This repository will help you during red team engagement.
