Forensia is a free offensive security tool. Core Security Bundles and Suites is a commercial offensive security tool by Core Security. Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best offensive security fit for your security stack.
CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Red teamers who need to validate their organization's incident response maturity should use Forensia to safely test detection gaps without expensive commercial tools. The free pricing and active GitHub community (785 stars) make it accessible for teams running regular adversary simulation exercises, and it directly exercises NIST Respond capabilities by forcing SOCs to detect and react to actual anti-forensics techniques rather than theoretical ones. Skip this if your goal is operational security for real engagements; Forensia is a training and validation tool, not tradecraft for active operations.
Core Security Bundles and Suites
Mid-market and enterprise red teams need Core Security Bundles and Suites when they're running adversary simulations that demand evasion capability and post-exploitation depth across multiple tool contexts. The integrated session passing between Core Impact, Cobalt Strike, and Outflank Security Tooling eliminates the friction of manual tool handoffs, and the centralized console cuts operator overhead in ways point solutions don't. This is overkill for organizations doing annual compliance pen tests; you're paying for operator certification and research lab access that only matter if your team is running continuous red team cycles against real infrastructure.
