Threat Lab

Eight common attacks, played out step by step. Switch the defence on and off to see exactly what stops each one. Everything here is a simulation with demonstration data.

Attack simulator

Pick an attack, press play, then replay it with the defence on.

AttackerNetworkTarget serverATKuser mailbox
Simulation
Attacker does
Sends a convincing email that links to a fake sign-in page.
System sees
An email from a look-alike domain, then a login from an unusual location.
Without defence
The user enters their password and the attacker signs in as them.

The cyber kill chain

Most intrusions pass through the same seven stages. Breaking any one of them stops the attack. Select a stage.

Stage 1 · attacker's goal

Research the target: staff, domains and exposed services.

Where we break the chain

Shrink what is publicly exposed and watch for scanning. Attack surface reviews find it first.

Defence in depth

No single control stops everything. Watch an attack probe inward: each run, a different layer is the one that catches it.
