Red Team Engagement
A full-scope, goal-oriented simulation of a real adversary. We combine digital, physical and human attack paths to reach an agreed objective — and show whether your people, processes and technology would actually detect and stop us.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.
Signed authorization required. This engagement is performed only against systems you own or are contractually authorized to have tested, under an agreed scope. See the responsible testing policy.

Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Signed scope firstTesting starts only after written scope and signed authorization for systems you own or are entitled to have tested.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Strictly within the agreed objective, rules of engagement and legal boundaries
- No harm to safety-critical systems or real customer data
- Physical and social-engineering activity only where explicitly authorised
- Immediate stand-down on any safety or legal concern
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- How is a red team different from a penetration test?
- A pentest finds as many vulnerabilities as possible in a defined scope. A red team pursues a specific objective stealthily, across every available vector, to test detection and response — breadth versus realism.
- Who needs to know it's happening?
- Typically only a small trusted group (the 'white cell') so detection is genuinely tested. We agree strict rules of engagement, safe words and escalation contacts before starting.
- How long does an engagement last?
- Red teams usually run several weeks to allow for stealth and realistic pacing. We scope the duration to your objective and threat model.

Most breaches start with an email. We run realistic, ethical phishing campaigns against your staff to measure real susceptibility and turn every click into a teachable moment — building a human firewall, not blame.

Internal Network Penetration Testing
Assume an attacker is already inside — a phished laptop, a rogue device, a malicious insider. We test how far they could get, showing you the lateral-movement paths and privilege escalations that turn one foothold into a full compromise.
