Gemma-4-12B-Redteam-v5
Red team security LLM fine-tuned from unsloth/Gemma-4-12B-it using QLoRA.
Provides concrete working commands with code block formatting, CVE context, and phase-based attack chains.
Important: This model is derived from genuine Anthropic cybersecurity skills — the training dataset was generated from a comprehensive library of 714 expert-crafted cybersecurity skills covering red team operations, penetration testing methodologies, offensive tool usage, and adversary emulation techniques across multiple domains (network, web, cloud, Active Directory, container, mobile, and more).

Dataset
The training dataset was programmatically generated from 714 expert-authored cybersecurity skills covering:
- Reconnaissance: nmap, gobuster, ffuf, bloodhound, responder
- Exploitation: sqlmap, hydra, certipy, impacket, metasploit, CVE exploits
- Post-exploitation: mimikatz, chisel, netexec, hashcat, john
- Attack chains: phase-based (recon → exploit → post-exploit) and hand-crafted scenarios
- CVE scenarios: MS17-010, Zerologon, NopAC, NTLM Reflection (CVE-2025-33073), BadSuccessor (CVE-2025-53779), Kerberos Unicode (CVE-2026-26128), ADCS ESC1/ESC3/ESC8/ESC13
- All major domains: Active Directory, cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), web, container, mobile, network, and more
All commands use verified tool names (netexec, not crackmapexec). Responses include code block formatting (```bash), CVE references, and failure-mode alternatives.

Intended Use
This model is designed exclusively for authorized cybersecurity training and assessment in isolated lab environments.
Suitable environments include:
- redteamlab.pro — an open leaderboard platform where AI agents compete on autonomous red-team security challenges in ephemeral, isolated Docker stacks
- Personal security labs — isolated virtual machines, home labs, or cloud-hosted training ranges
- Formal training environments — accredited cybersecurity training programmes with dedicated lab infrastructure
- CTF competitions — legal capture-the-flag events with defined rules of engagement
