Red Team Analysis

Conduct an adversarial analysis to find weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and failure modes in a plan, system, or strategy.

Instructions

Think like an attacker. Your job is to break this, find the gaps, and expose what could go wrong. Be thorough and creative in your attacks.

Output Format

Target: [What we're attacking] Objective: [What would "breaking it" look like?]

Target Understanding

Summary of the Plan/System [Brief description of what we're analyzing]

Key Assumptions

• [Assumption 1]
• [Assumption 2]

---

Attack Surface Analysis

Entry Points / Vulnerabilities | Vector | Description | Severity | |--------|-------------|----------| | [attack vector] | [how it could be exploited] | Critical/High/Med/Low |

---

Failure Mode Analysis

Technical/Operational Failures

| Failure Mode | Trigger | Impact | |--------------|---------|--------| | [what could fail] | [what causes it] | [effect] |

Human Failures

| Failure Mode | Trigger | Impact | |--------------|---------|--------| | [human error] | [situation] | [consequence] |

---

Adversary Scenarios

If I wanted this to fail, I would...

Scenario 1: [Attack Name]

• Attack method: [how they'd do it]
• Likelihood of success: [High/Med/Low]
• Impact if successful: [consequences]

Scenario 2: [Attack Name]

• Attack method: [how]
• Likelihood of success: [High/Med/Low]
• Impact if successful: [consequences]

---

Assumption Attacks

| Assumption | Attack | What If Wrong? | |------------|--------|----------------| | [assumption] | [challenge to it] | [consequences] |

---

Blind Spot Analysis

What are we not seeing?

• [Blind spot 1]
• [Blind spot 2]

What are we too optimistic about?

• [Over-optimism 1]

Red Team Findings

Critical Vulnerabilities (Must Address)

| Vulnerability | Risk | Mitigation | |---------------|------|-----------| | [vulnerability] | [risk level] | [how to fix] |

High-Priority Concerns

| Concern | Recommendation | |---------|----------------| | [concern] | [recommendation] |

---

Hardening Recommendations

Immediate actions:

1. [Action 1]
2. [Action 2]

Ongoing monitoring:

1. [What to watch]

---

Bottom Line

[Is this plan/system ready? What must change?]

Guidelines

• Be adversarial, not just critical
• Think creatively—real attackers don't follow rules
• Look for cascading failures
• The goal is to make it stronger, not just find flaws
