I don't know, but I have a feeling the answer involves something that sounds like a Transformer. Fuzzers, scanners, oh my!

Network vulnerability scanner? Come on, that's like using a spoon to dig a hole. These red team guys are clearly bringing out the heavy artillery.

Hmm, a SCAP scanner? Nah, that's way too boring for a red team. They're probably using a fuzzer to find all sorts of juicy vulnerabilities.

Editing the registry key? Looks like the red team is really digging deep into the system. I'm guessing they're using PowerShell to get the job done.
