RedTeam Ops: Introducción a ejercicios de Red Team

Esta entrada se ha elaborado conjuntamente con Arturo Navarro Quijada

En esta entrada vamos a ver algunos detalles del curso RedTeam Ops (RTO), ofrecido por zeropointsecurity.co.uk, de la mano de Daniel Rastamouse Duggand, que permite obtener la certificación de Red Team Operator tras aprobar un examen práctico de 48 horas.

A fecha de hoy, el precio de este curso, (que incluye una convocatoria del examen de certificación) varía entre los 442,75€ (399£) y los 720,16€ (649£), según la duración de los laboratorios (30-60-90 días).

Una de las ventajas es que el contenido teórico es accesible de por vida, y suele actualizarse cada poco tiempo.

En nuestro caso, elegimos esta certificación por recomendaciones de amigos y compañeros, ya que después de echar un vistazo al temario nos pareció interesante tanto desde la perspectiva del Red Team como desde Threat Hunting.

Dicho esto, entremos en materia.

CISSP certificate – I

A few years ago (2011), our colleague José Luis Villalón told us about the (ISC)2 CISSP certification.

The CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) certification of (ISC)2 is currently one of the main (basic to me, although that depends on your experience and background) certifications in the field of information security, although it is more widespread in the USA than in other countries, if we take a look at the number of certificates per country. While on 31 December 2018 the US had around 84500 certificates, between Germany (2100), France (1000), Italy (400) and Spain (650) barely reach to 4000 certifications. This is probably due to the fact that many Human Resources departments in the US consider CISSP to be a basic prerequisite in the field of cybersecurity, in addition to the significant greater acceptance that (ISC)2 certificates have in the US market.
