Delivered the three-day in-person edition of RedHunt Labs’ offensive recon training at c0c0n 2026, 6-8 October at Grand Hyatt, Kochi.

The course is attacker-grade reconnaissance for organizations whose footprint now runs past domains and IPs into cloud, SaaS, APIs, mobile, third-party services, and AI platforms. The room worked through hands-on labs against real-world targets and enterprise-scale datasets, mixing manual tradecraft with automation and AI-assisted workflows.

The three days were structured as:

  • Day 1: Mapping the modern external attack surface. Methodology, domain and infrastructure discovery, DNS, certificate, ASN, and historical intelligence, fingerprinting, and an initial attack-surface map.
  • Day 2: Hidden enterprise exposures. Cloud across AWS, Azure, and GCP, APIs, SaaS and shadow IT, source code, CI/CD, container registries, and leaked secrets and configuration.
  • Day 3: Chaining exposures into attack paths. Entry points, credential and authentication weaknesses, cloud and API abuse, supply-chain and AI exposures, and a capstone against a simulated organization starting from almost nothing.
