Keysight Threat Simulator vs Stratus Red Team

Keysight Threat Simulator has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Stratus Red Team is a free, open-source Go binary for running specific offensive attack techniques against a live cloud environment and checking detections. Its techniques map to MITRE ATT&CK, with coverage for AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, and Entra ID. For each technique, it can prepare prerequisites, detonate the activity, reverse side effects, and remove prerequisites. Terraform creates and removes required infrastructure, and Stratus downloads its own Terraform binary. Installation options include Go, Homebrew, pre-built Linux, Windows, and macOS binaries, and Docker. The tool can also operate as a Go library for automation and custom techniques. It supports Linux, macOS, Windows, API use, and self-hosting. Documentation recommends an administrator role in a sandbox account or test cluster, not production infrastructure. Kubernetes clusters must already exist, AWS customer-provided detonation infrastructure is unsupported, and Azure resources are fixed to West US.
