Course Overview

The Read Team Pentest course by RedTeam is a specialized offensive security training program designed to prepare cybersecurity professionals for advanced red team engagements and the GIAC Red Team Professional (GRTP) certification. This course targets penetration testers, red team operators, and security engineers who aim to master adversary emulation techniques in enterprise environments. It equips learners with the skills to conduct end-to-end red team operations, including reconnaissance, initial access, lateral movement, Active Directory exploitation, and data exfiltration. With red teaming skills appearing in 39.9% of cybersecurity job postings and growing at 44.7% year-over-year, this training aligns with high-demand industry needs.

Participants engage with critical tools and platforms such as Cobalt Strike, Empire, BloodHound, Mimikatz, and LOLBAS within a realistic lab environment that simulates both external and internal enterprise networks. The hands-on labs include configuring command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, performing Kerberos-based attacks, bypassing firewalls, and executing privilege escalation across segmented networks. Students complete a comprehensive practical case study where they perform full-cycle red team operations—from initial reconnaissance to domain admin compromise—using MITRE ATT&CK-aligned methodologies. These exercises are conducted in a fully isolated virtual environment with updated Windows workstations and Active Directory domains, ensuring real-world applicability.

This Read Team Pentest course prepares candidates for the GIAC Red Team Professional (GRTP) certification, which is recognized globally for validating advanced offensive security capabilities. Certified professionals can expect competitive salaries, with mid-level red team operators earning around $165,200 annually and senior roles reaching up to $225,000 or more. Koenig Solutions enhances learning through its Guaranteed-to-Run training model and access to official courseware, ensuring consistent scheduling and authentic content delivery. Upon completion, graduates are positioned to advance into roles such as Red Team Lead, Adversary Simulation Engineer, or Threat Emulation Specialist, driving proactive security improvements in high-stakes environments.
