Recipe: Purple-team exercise plan

A structured 4-hour session blueprint for red and blue teams to validate detection coverage against real injection techniques.

Objectives

  • Exercise manual-map injection detection rules
  • Validate ETW consumer alert pipeline latency
  • Confirm anti-tamper self-verification survives staged tampering
  • Produce a joint after-action report within 48 hours

Schedule (4 hours)

BlockDurationActivity
00:0015mKickoff & rules of engagement
00:1545mRed: deploy manual-map injector against staging endpoint
01:0030mBlue: triage ETW alerts, classify true/false positives
01:3060mJoint: tune detection rules, adjust thresholds
02:3030mBreak
03:0045mRed: tamper with loader integrity, trigger anti-tamper
03:4515mHotwash & assign AAR sections

Artifacts

  • Red team injector binary (signed, time-bombed)
  • Blue team SIEM query pack
  • Joint AAR template in docs repo

Success criteria

  • All injection attempts detected within 90 seconds
  • Zero false-positive alerts on benign baseline traffic
  • Anti-tamper circuit breaker trips within 500ms of tamper
  • AAR published and reviewed within 48 hours
