In this episode, Spencer and Brad discuss a recent Trend Micro research project and associated white paper "Red Team Tools in the Hands of Cybercriminals and Nation States". Spencer and Brad dig into what red teaming is, what red team tools (often referred to as offensive security tools) are and why they are used. They also cover the abuse of red team tools, the speed of exploitation after public release and supply chain attacks against red team tools.

In this episode, Spencer and Brad dive into lateral movement, discussing various techniques like RDP, RATs, Impacket tools, PsExec, PTH, PTT, and PowerShell Remoting. They explain how attackers use these methods to gain unauthorized access, evade detection, and enable malicious activities. They also discuss precursors to lateral movement and strategies to restrict it, such as least privilege access, network segmentation, and monitoring. The podcast emphasizes the importance of understanding lateral movement and implementing comprehensive security measures to mitigate these threats.
