A pre-configured Linux virtual machine for adversary emulation and threat hunting with attacker and defender toolkits.
RedHunt OS is a pre-configured Linux virtual machine designed for security professionals to perform adversary emulation and threat hunting. It integrates a wide range of offensive and defensive security tools into a single platform, allowing users to simulate attacks and identify vulnerabilities in their environments. The VM is built on Lubuntu 18.04 and includes tools for attack simulation, threat intelligence, OSINT, and reporting.
Security analysts, threat hunters, penetration testers, and red/blue team members who need a ready-to-use environment for security testing and threat analysis.
It saves time by providing a pre-integrated suite of security tools, eliminating the need for manual setup and configuration. The combination of both attacker and defender toolkits in one VM enables comprehensive security assessments and streamlined workflows.
Virtual Machine for Adversary Emulation and Threat Hunting
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Combines attacker tools like Caldera and Metasploit with defender suites like ELK and Kolide Fleet, enabling end-to-end security assessments as described in its philosophy.
Pre-configured as an OVA file with all tools installed, saving hours of setup time—just import into VirtualBox and log in with provided credentials.
Includes Yeti and Harpoon for managing threat data, enhancing correlation capabilities without external setup.
Features Asciinema, Flameshot, and CherryTree for easy documentation and report creation, streamlining post-assessment tasks.
Built on Lubuntu 18.04, which reached end-of-life in 2023, risking unpatched vulnerabilities and compatibility issues with newer tools.
Uses hunter:hunter for VM login and admin:admin for Caldera—common defaults that pose security risks if not changed immediately.
Restricted to virtual environments; not adaptable for bare-metal, containerized, or cloud-native deployments without significant modification.
