Red Team Automation (RTA)
A Python-based framework that generates evidence of MITRE ATT&CK tactics to help blue teams test their detection capabilities against simulated malicious activities.
Red Team Automation (RTA) Description
Red Team Automation (RTA) is a framework of Python scripts designed to help blue teams test their detection capabilities against malicious tradecraft modeled after MITRE ATT&CK tactics. The framework consists of Python scripts that generate evidence of over 50 different ATT&CK tactics, along with a compiled binary application that performs activities such as file timestopping, process injections, and beacon simulation. RTA attempts to perform actual malicious activities where possible, while emulating all or parts of activities in other cases. For lateral movement testing, the framework defaults to targeting localhost but supports parameters for multi-host testing scenarios. The tool includes capabilities for renaming executables such as cmd.exe or python.exe to simulate scenarios where Windows binaries appear to be performing non-standard activities. Installation requires Python 2.7 and involves downloading the repository from GitHub, extracting contents to a designated folder, and optionally downloading additional files to the bin subdirectory for enhanced functionality.
