Inventive real-world networking attack simulations that solve problems no existing tool addresses. Each innovation is deployable through the Guardian Posse relay fleet.

Shadow VLAN Mapper

Undocumented VLAN Discovery Engine

Discovers undocumented VLANs, VLAN hopping paths, and misconfigured trunk ports that network teams forgot about. Maps the "shadow network" — the actual topology vs. what's documented. Solves the #1 enterprise problem: stale network documentation.

  • CDP/LLDP passive harvesting to map trunk links and native VLANs
  • DTP negotiation testing for VLAN hopping via double-tagging (802.1Q)
  • ARP sweep correlation across VLANs to find inter-VLAN leak paths
  • Auto-generates corrected network topology diagrams vs. documented state
VLAN Hopping 802.1Q Relay Fleet T1599

BGP Hijack Simulator

Routing Protocol Attack Lab

Simulates BGP prefix hijacking, route leaking, and OSPF/EIGRP neighbor spoofing in a controlled environment. Most organizations have zero visibility into whether their routing infrastructure would resist a state-level BGP attack. This tool creates safe simulations.

  • BGP prefix hijack simulation with AS path prepending analysis
  • RPKI/ROA validation coverage assessment for your prefixes
  • OSPF LSA injection testing with area boundary analysis
  • Generates MANRS compliance checklist and remediation plan
BGP OSPF RPKI T1557.002

Certificate Transparency Weaponizer

TLS/PKI Infrastructure Attack Surface

Mines Certificate Transparency logs to discover shadow infrastructure, staging servers, internal hostnames leaked in SANs, and wildcard cert misuse. Turns defensive CT logs into an offensive recon goldmine that most orgs don't realize they're exposing.

  • CT log mining for subdomain discovery and infrastructure mapping
  • Wildcard cert abuse detection — find shared certs across trust boundaries
  • Certificate pinning bypass strategy generation per target
  • Internal hostname leak detection from SAN/CN fields
TLS/PKI CT Logs Recon T1596.003

DNS Rebinding Forge

Same-Origin Policy Bypass Engine

Automates DNS rebinding attacks against internal services exposed to browsers. The forgotten attack vector — most WAFs, firewalls, and security tools completely ignore DNS rebinding because it bypasses network-layer controls by abusing browser trust.

  • Automated DNS rebinding payload generation for internal service access
  • Target IoT devices, printers, and IPMI/iLO interfaces on internal nets
  • Browser-based port scanning through rebinding pivot chains
  • Tests split-horizon DNS and DNS pinning effectiveness
DNS Rebinding Browser Exploit IoT T1071.004

IPv6 Dark Space Exploiter

Dual-Stack Misconfiguration Hunter

Most enterprise networks have IPv6 enabled but unmonitored — a massive blind spot. This tool discovers IPv6-only services, dual-stack misconfigurations, SLAAC spoofing opportunities, and rogue RA (Router Advertisement) injection points that evade IPv4-focused security stacks.

  • Rogue Router Advertisement injection for MITM via SLAAC
  • DHCPv6 DNS takeover for credential harvesting
  • IPv6 tunnel detection (6to4, Teredo, ISATAP) bypassing IPv4 firewalls
  • Dual-stack firewall rule gap analysis — finds IPv6 paths around IPv4 ACLs
IPv6 SLAAC Dual-Stack T1557.002

Cloud Egress Tunneler

Data Exfiltration Path Discovery

Maps every possible data exfiltration path from cloud environments — DNS-over-HTTPS, ICMP tunneling, steganography in allowed SaaS uploads, and cloud-native service abuse (S3, Azure Blob, GCS). Proves that perimeter firewalls are irrelevant in cloud-native architectures.

  • DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) exfil testing through corporate proxies
  • ICMP tunneling and ping-based data channels
  • Cloud storage service abuse (S3/GCS/Azure Blob cross-account)
  • Measures DLP effectiveness with controlled exfil simulations
Exfiltration Cloud DoH T1048

NAC Bypass Toolkit

Network Access Control Evasion

Tests whether your 802.1X/NAC implementation actually stops unauthorized devices. Most enterprises spend six figures on NAC but never validate it. This tool finds MAC bypass paths, 802.1X EAP downgrade attacks, and MAB (MAC Authentication Bypass) exploitation vectors.

  • 802.1X EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS downgrade and relay attacks
  • MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) spoofing with learned addresses
  • VLAN assignment manipulation after successful NAC auth
  • Profiling bypass via device fingerprint spoofing (CDP/DHCP/HTTP UA)
802.1X NAC MAB T1556

East-West Traffic Infiltrator

Microsegmentation Breach Simulator

Tests lateral movement paths that microsegmentation vendors claim to block. Most zero-trust deployments only enforce north-south controls. This tool maps actual east-west paths between workloads, finds segmentation gaps, and proves whether your microsegmentation actually works.

  • Service mesh sidecar bypass testing (Istio/Linkerd/Consul Connect)
  • Kubernetes network policy escape via hostNetwork/CNI misconfig
  • Windows service account lateral movement chain mapping
  • Generates microsegmentation gap heatmap with remediation priority

  • LLMNR/NBNS/mDNS poisoning with NTLMv2 hash capture
  • Rogue DHCP server deployment with gateway hijacking
  • WPAD proxy injection for credential interception
  • NTLM relay chain mapping (PetitPotam/PrinterBug/ShadowCoerce)
LLMNR NTLM Relay WPAD T1557.001

SDN/API Plane Attacker

Software-Defined Network Exploitation

Attacks the control plane of software-defined networks. Most SDN deployments (OpenFlow, VXLAN, Cisco ACI, VMware NSX) have management APIs that are poorly secured. This tool tests whether an attacker who compromises one server can reprogram the entire network fabric.

  • OpenFlow controller exploitation and flow table manipulation
  • VXLAN header injection to break network segmentation
  • NSX/ACI management API credential discovery and abuse
  • SDN controller DoS resilience testing
SDN VXLAN OpenFlow T1599

IoT/OT Protocol Fuzzer

Industrial & Smart Device Exploitation

Fuzzes network protocols used by IoT and OT devices that traditional scanners ignore — Modbus, BACnet, MQTT, CoAP, Zigbee, and printer languages (PJL/PCL/IPP). These devices are on your network, rarely patched, and running protocols designed before security existed.

  • Modbus TCP/RTU command injection and register manipulation
  • MQTT broker authentication bypass and topic enumeration
  • Printer exploitation (PJL/PCL directory traversal, firmware dump)
  • BACnet/IP device discovery and property enumeration
IoT/OT Modbus MQTT T1195.002

Encrypted Traffic Classifier

Traffic Analysis Without Decryption

Identifies malicious traffic patterns without breaking encryption — using packet timing, size distributions, TLS metadata, and JA4+ fingerprints. Proves whether your "encrypted = safe" assumption is wrong. Most C2 frameworks have detectable traffic fingerprints even over TLS 1.3.

  • JA4+/JA3S fingerprint database for known C2 frameworks (Cobalt Strike, Sliver, Brute Ratel)
  • Packet timing analysis for beaconing detection (jitter patterns)
  • TLS certificate anomaly detection (self-signed, short-lived, Let's Encrypt staging)
  • ESNI/ECH detection for DNS-based blocking strategy validation
TLS Analysis JA4+ C2 Detection T1573
