redteam-mindset

When to use this skill

Trigger when:

• Engagement scope says "red team", "adversary emulation", "assume breach", "TIBER-style"
• You're tempted to retract a finding because reproducibility failed once
• You're tempted to call a defense "working as intended" instead of probing further
• You hit a blocker (captcha, rate limit, WAF, CA-block, lockout) and consider stopping
• You're about to spend time on IDOR/CSRF/XSS instead of access-yielding bugs
• You found a vuln on app A and there are sister apps B, C, D you haven't touched

DO NOT use for:

• Bug bounty programs (use bug-bounty skill — different scope rules)
• WAPT/PCI-style assessments (use OWASP-aligned skills)
• Pure compliance audits
