OST is a set of private offensive security tools created by the red teaming specialists of Outflank available for use by vetted red teams.
Case Study: How To Enhance Red Team Operations with Outflank OST
Outflank Security Tooling (OST) is a set of 20+ evasive tools that cover every step in the attacker kill chain to effectively emulate real-world attack scenarios, enabling red teams to bypass advanced defensive measures and assess an organisation’s resilience.
One of our customers had a red team that was facing growing demand for their services but hitting several roadblocks:
The Challenge
- Talent Shortage: Finding experts with both red teaming and software development skills had become a significant challenge.
- Limited Output: In-house R&D could only produce a handful of tools each year due to the complexity of development.
- Operational Pressure: Increasing client demand required more advanced stealth and evasion capabilities without overburdening the development team.
The Solution
By leveraging OST’s continuously updated toolkit, they gained:
- Advanced Stealth & Evasion — Tools designed to bypass EDR and antivirus solutions.
- Expanded Firepower — Exclusive techniques for initial access, OPSEC-safe lateral movement, and EDR evasion not found in public tools.
- Cost-Efficiency — Access to expert R&D for a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house specialists.
- Scalability — Ability to meet growing demand without adding headcount.
The Results
After implementing Outflank OST, they achieved measurable improvements:
- Mitigated the risks associated with in-house talent turnover and knowledge gaps.
- Reduction in Preparation Time per engagement, boosting productivity.
- More Realistic Engagements — Elite, hard-to-detect attack simulations that challenge blue teams.
OST gives red teams a constantly evolving toolkit covering the full attacker kill chain, backed by a team with decades of operational experience. There are tools for every phase of the attack chain that help with initial compromise, command and control (C2), lateral traversal and clean-up.
Outflank Security Tooling (OST) webinar - Introduction and Demo.
A series of short demo videos showcasing tools in Fortra’s Outflank Security Tooling (OST), an elite toolset developed by and made for advanced red teams. OST tools allow you to simulate similar techniques to what some APTs and Organised Crime Groups apply but are not available in public tools. OST tools are explicitly developed to help enable a skilled operator bypass defensive measures and detection tools.
