MITRE ATT&CK Framework Integration & Penetration Testing

A university capstone integrating the MITRE ATT&CK framework into a structured penetration testing methodology.

Overview

Designed and executed a penetration testing engagement structured around the MITRE ATT&CK framework, mapping each phase of the test to specific tactics and techniques. The project emphasized clear justification for every step taken and accurate, reproducible results — the same methodology now applied professionally in breach & attack simulation work.

Highlights

  • Mapped a full penetration test lifecycle to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques.
  • Documented clear justifications for tooling and technique choices at each stage.
  • Produced a findings report with reproducible, evidence-backed results.
