ATTPwn: Adversarial Emulation and Offensive Techniques Collaborative Project.

Summary

Security researchers introduce ATTPwn, an open-source adversary emulation and offensive testing framework designed to simulate realistic threat actor behaviors mapped directly to the MITRE ATT&CK matrix. The project provides defenders and red teams with automated playbooks to validate organizational detection coverage and verify security controls.

The presenters detail the design philosophy behind ATTPwn at 02:29, highlighting how testing prevents false confidence in security appliances. They explain the PowerShell execution core at 04:40 and describe the framework's modular architecture at 07:21. At 10:12 and 18:44, they demonstrate remote invocation options, custom technique development using skeleton functions (21:39), and executing scripted multi-stage attack plans—from local discovery (36:55) to privilege escalation and credential harvesting (42:48).
