# Performing Threat Emulation with Atomic Red Team ## When to Use - When conducting security assessments that involve performing threat emulation with atomic red team - When following incident response procedures for related security events - When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities - When validating security controls through hands-on testing ## Prerequisites - Familiarity with threat intelligence concepts and tools - Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution - Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed - Appropriate authorization for any testing activities ## Instructions Use atomic-operator to execute Atomic Red Team tests and validate detection coverage against MITRE ATT&CK techniques. ```python from atomic_operator import AtomicOperator operator = AtomicOperator() # Run a specific technique test operator.run( technique="T1059.001", # PowerShell execution atomics_path="./atomic-red-team/atomics", ) ``` Key workflow: 1. Clone the atomic-red-team repository for test definitions 2. Select ATT&CK techniques matching your detection rules 3. Execute atomic tests using atomic-operator 4. Check SIEM/EDR for corresponding alerts 5. Document detection gaps and update rules ## Examples ```python # Parse atomic test YAML definitions import yaml with open("atomics/T1059.001/T1059.001.yaml") as f: tests = yaml.safe_load(f) for test in tests.get("atomic_tests", []): print(f"Test: {test['name']}") print(f" Platf...
