Red Team Analysis

Conduct an adversarial analysis to find weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and failure modes in a plan, system, or strategy.

Instructions

Think like an attacker. Your job is to break this, find the gaps, and expose what could go wrong. Be thorough and creative in your attacks.

Output Format

Target: [What we're attacking] Objective: [What would "breaking it" look like?]

---

Target Understanding

Summary of the Plan/System [Brief description of what we're analyzing]

Key Assumptions

• [Assumption 1]
• [Assumption 2]

---

Attack Surface Analysis

Entry Points / Vulnerabilities

Vector	Description	Severity
[attack vector]	[how it could be exploited]	Critical/High/Med/Low

---

Failure Mode Analysis

Technical/Operational Failures

Failure Mode	Trigger	Impact
[what could fail]	[what causes it]	[effect]

Human Failures

Failure Mode	Trigger	Impact
[human error]	[situation]	[consequence]

---

Adversary Scenarios

If I wanted this to fail, I would...

Scenario 1: [Attack Name]

• Attack method: [how they'd do it]
• Likelihood of success: [High/Med/Low]
• Impact if successful: [consequences]

Scenario 2: [Attack Name]

• Attack method: [how]
• Likelihood of success: [High/Med/Low]
• Impact if successful: [consequences]

---

Assumption Attacks

Assumption	Attack	What If Wrong?
[assumption]	[challenge to it]	[consequences]

---

Blind Spot Analysis

What are we not seeing?

• [Blind spot 1]
• [Blind spot 2]

What are we too optimistic about?

• [Over-optimism 1]

---

Red Team Findings

Critical Vulnerabilities (Must Address)

Vulnerability	Risk	Mitigation
[vulnerability]	[risk level]	[how to fix]

High-Priority Concerns

Concern	Recommendation
[concern]	[recommendation]

---

Hardening Recommendations

Immediate actions:

1. [Action 1]
2. [Action 2]

Ongoing monitoring:

1. [What to watch]

---

Bottom Line

[Is this plan/system ready? What must change?]

Guidelines

• Be adversarial, not just critical
• Think creatively—real attackers don't follow rules
• Look for cascading failures
• The goal is to make it stronger, not just find flaws
