🔍 Part 1: Goal Setup Choose Your Learning Path

Before diving into payloads and pivots, you need a clear mission. Red teaming is vast, and trying to learn everything at once will only slow you down.

🎯 What do you want to master?

Select a goal (or a few) and let that shape your lab, tools, and tactics:

• 🎯 Active Directory Exploitation
  Learn how to enumerate domains, escalate privileges, abuse trusts, and dominate the forest.
• 🧠 Social Engineering & Phishing
  Master pretexts, payload delivery, and phishing frameworks for realistic attack simulation.
• 🔀 Lateral Movement & Pivoting
  Chain exploits, move through networks, and maintain stealth like a true operator.
• 📊 Data Exfiltration & Impact
  Simulate real-world breach objectives gather intel, exfil sensitive data, and cover your tracks.
• 🕵️‍♂️ OPSEC & Evasion
  Practice staying off radar. Bypass EDR, avoid logging traps, and emulate APT-style tradecraft.

📌 Your task:

1. Pick 1-2 learning goals that excite you most
2. Write them down these will guide your toolset and lab setup
3. (Optional) Share your goal in the community or track progress in a log file

Ready? Once your goals are set, we'll start building the lab tailored to your mission.
