## What is Stratus Red Team?

Stratus Red Team is a cloud-focused attack simulation framework that enables security professionals to emulate offensive techniques in cloud environments.

The tool provides a self-contained Go binary that implements granular attack techniques mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. It allows users to execute individual attack scenarios in a controlled manner without requiring complex setup or infrastructure.

The framework focuses specifically on cloud attack techniques, providing an "Atomic Red Team" approach for cloud security testing. Each attack technique is designed to be self-contained and can be executed independently.

Installation options include Homebrew for macOS users, Docker images for containerized deployments, and pre-built binaries for direct execution. The tool supports various cloud platforms and attack vectors commonly used in cloud environments.

The framework maps its attack techniques to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques, providing standardized categorization and reference points for security teams conducting red team exercises or security assessments.
