Episode 1: Setting the Stage

In the very first episode of Know Your Adversary by SpecterOps, Chief Product Officer Justin Kohler and Chief Technology Officer Jared Atkinson pull back the curtain on how BloodHound came to be and why attack path management is more critical than ever. They trace BloodHound’s roots from a red teamer’s Excel-driven struggle to its evolution into a revolutionary graph-theory tool that changed how defenders and adversaries alike understand identity-based attack paths. Along the way, they explain what an “attack path” really is, why attackers rarely land where they want to, and how pivoting across identities and computers creates endless opportunities for compromise.
