ADVERSARY
BY DESIGN.
c0desec is a boutique offensive security firm. We do one thing: simulate real adversaries against your most critical systems — and prove what actually breaks.
UNCOMPROMISING SCOPE
We don't try to be everything. We specialize in offensive security—simulating real adversaries to expose the attack paths that matter most.
THE KILL CHAIN
Every engagement follows the modern adversary lifecycle — from quiet reconnaissance to demonstrated impact on the objective.
Reconnaissance
Passive and active intelligence gathering. Mapping the attack surface without alerting defenders.
Weaponization & Access
Custom payload crafting. Initial breach via edge vulnerabilities or targeted social engineering.
Lateral Movement
Quiet pivoting through the internal estate to escalate privileges and reach the objective.
Actions on Objective
Demonstrable impact: data exfiltration, domain takeover, or mission-specific compromise.
AIR-GAPPED INFRASTRUCTURE COMPROMISED IN 72 HOURS
For a global logistics operator, we simulated a state-sponsored intrusion against their fleet management estate. Full domain compromise was achieved inside 72 hours — without triggering a single SOC alert.
"The findings were brutal but necessary. c0desec showed us exactly where our blind spots were — far beyond the standard reports we'd seen for years."
— Lead Security Architect, FTSE 100 Logistics
TRUST EARNED IN THE BREACH.
Our clients operate where failure is not an option. These are their words — not ours — after we showed them what breaks.
c0desec didn't give us a report — they gave us a wake-up call. The depth of the compromise they demonstrated in 72 hours reshaped our entire security budget for the next three years.
We had run countless pen tests before. c0desec was the first team to actually breach our air-gapped OT environment and show us the real blast radius. Brutal. Necessary. Brilliant.
The red team engagement felt like a real adversary. Their tradecraft was so refined our SOC didn't catch a single TTP until the debrief. That's exactly the pressure test we needed.
They found a zero-day chain in our custom firmware that two other firms missed entirely. The exploit development work was delivered with full source, root cause, and patch guidance.
After the cloud infiltration assessment, we rebuilt our entire IAM architecture. c0desec mapped every privilege-escalation path from a leaked key to org-wide data exfiltration.
The purple-team debrief was worth the engagement fee alone. They walked our blue team through every TTP, handed us detection rules, and left us measurably harder to breach.
ATTACK IT
BEFORE THEY DO.
Tell us what you need broken. We'll scope the engagement, agree the rules of engagement, and start the clock.
