The Team

Teamwork

RedTeam Pentesting focuses on intensive collaboration of the penetration testers. This allows RedTeam Pentesting to carry out penetration tests using creative methods. In agile teams the abilities and knowledge of the penetration testers complement one another ideally. Together innovative and individual approaches are developed and implemented. In addition to the immediate communication in these teams an exchange of ideas between all penetration testers takes place regularly.

Qualifications

All penetration testers of RedTeam Pentesting have in-depth knowledge in the area of IT-security. Every team member also has specialised knowledge in various fields, so that a broad spectrum of different scenarios can be covered through team work. Members of RedTeam Pentesting demonstrated their abilities off the job as penetration tester during regular participation in so called “Capture the Flag” hacking contests, as hosted by e.g. the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) or the TU Darmstadt. During the course of these contests insecure online services have to be secured and attacked. The team from Aachen was able to claim first or second place in several contests. In the year 2005 the team could be refered to as world champion, as it gained first place in the UCSB international CTF which featured 22 participating teams from 18 institutions. Among the renowned participants were the Monterey Naval Postgraduate School and the TU Darmstadt, and at the previous CTF also the United States Military Academy, West Point.
