Hey everyone 👋
I’m Maxwell Cross, a red-team professional and cybersecurity writer.
Over the next 30 days, I’m sharing a transparent look at how red-team operations actually work — from reconnaissance to exploitation — through a new learning series called 30 Days of Red Team.
This isn’t about theoretical hacking or tool dumps.
It’s about understanding how attackers think, and how defenders can adapt — one phase at a time.
🧠 What the Series Covers
Each day explores a different stage of the red-team lifecycle:
Day 1 — Understanding the Kill Chain Read it on Medium →
Day 2 — Advanced OSINT & External Reconnaissance Read it on Medium →
Upcoming posts will cover:
- Payload development & evasion
- Phishing infrastructure
- Exploitation & post-exploitation
- Persistence, C2, and lateral movement
Each article blends methodology, mindset, and ethics — written for learners, professionals, and defenders alike.
⚖️ Why I’m Doing This
Cybersecurity shouldn’t be gatekept.
Real learning comes from seeing how concepts connect, not memorizing isolated commands.
This series is designed to:
- Bridge the gap between theory and operation
- Emphasize ethical and controlled environments
- Help new red-teamers build intuition and awareness
