Speaker sessions

Beyond the Playbook: From Tabletop Theory to Red Team Reality

This session explores a different approach to red teaming: conducting full-scale operations without malware. Instead of building or deploying implants, we rely on proxies, tunnels, and legitimate remote-access tools to execute tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). By using SOCKS proxies, Chisel, AnyDesk, RDP, and even Windows-native administrative tooling, attackers can seamlessly pivot, persist, and exfiltrate while blending in with everyday IT traffic.We will demonstrate how malwareless operations not only reduce detection risk, but also eliminate the heavy cost of malware R&D. Attendees will see real-world examples from threat actors and red teams, including how APT groups alike have leveraged tunnels and RMMs to achieve stealth and resilience.
