Hey everyone.
I'm Aaron Rosenmund, and welcome to the starting place,
the launch pad, if you will,
of the red team tools for emulating adversary techniques with MITRE ATT&CK,
here on Pluralsight.
There's so many questions.
What are you doing here?
Maybe you're thinking, what is red teaming?
Who uses red teaming tools, and why are they different from enterprise software?
And if you enjoy my oddly specific movie humor, why is Gamora?
But if you're not catching all my references,
that's fine too,
because while Gamora is the green alien love interest of Star‑Lord
that name could just as well be a red team tool.
In fact,
if it's not one I'm going to name the next tool that I
make Gamora just to make this legit.
And that is some of the goodness that exists in this red team space.
And that whole idea is some of the goodness and humor and
fun that exists in this red team space.
There's a plethora of great names,
logos, and pop‑culture references all representing amazing talent,
dedication, humor, and focus of people that embody the cybersecurity community.
So before getting too much further, I want to say thank you. If you don't know,
most of these tools are made by people unpaid after their normal jobs.
Late at night, after you help put the kids to bed,
they could be watching TV, sleeping,
catching up on emails, playing Monster Hunter, or playing
endless sessions of late night chess, but alas they're not.
They're writing code, testing exploits,
finding analysis methods, and refining their craft, and then wrapping all
that up and donating all of that work for free under the permissive
license for anyone and everyone to benefit from.
So, from all of us to you creators, thank you so much.
There will not be a single one of these courses that doesn't give
credit to the original creator of the tool.
