About Phantom Red Labs
Phantom Red Labs (PRL) is a next-generation cybersecurity research and adversary-simulation organization dedicated to helping defenders anticipate, understand, and counter the realities of modern threat actors.
We illuminate the risks that traditional defenses overlook — ethically, safely, and without disclosing operationally sensitive methods.
Invisible threats.
Visible solutions.
That’s our philosophy. Everything we do reflects it.
Who We Are
Phantom Red Labs exists to bridge the widening gap between how attackers operate and how defenders are trained to think attackers operate.
Most defensive stacks assume predictability. Real adversaries do not.
We focus on:
- High-fidelity adversary behavior modeling
- Defender-aligned simulation and research
- Memory forensics and kill-chain reconstruction
- Telemetry stress-testing and behavioral validation
- Responsible, safe methodology that never discloses dangerous techniques
PRL does not create offensive tools.
We create understanding, operational clarity, and defensive strength.
What We Build
Phantom Engine (PE)
A defender-focused adversary simulation framework that models modern attack behaviors in controlled, safe, and research-oriented scenarios.
No dangerous internals are exposed — ever.
Organizations use Phantom Engine to:
- Understand detection weaknesses
- Train analysts
- Validate EDR, SIEM, and SOC assumptions
- Observe realistic adversarial patterns
It strengthens security posture without replicating operationally harmful capabilities.
Digger (Forensic Reconstruction Tool)
A memory-centric forensic engine built to help analysts reconstruct full malware chains, even when attackers leave minimal artifacts behind.
Its purpose:
- Provide clarity in complex intrusions
- Rebuild fragmented memory-resident activity
- Give defenders insight into how advanced threats behave
Digger is purely a defensive and investigative tool.
Research & Insights
PRL researches:
- Threat actor evolution
- Evasive behavior patterns
- Defensive telemetry gaps
- Behavioral detection opportunities
Our publications and findings are responsible, non-weaponized, and safe for public consumption — never revealing proprietary internals or sensitive techniques.
Our Values
Integrity. Responsibility. Research.
We believe in:
- Ethical simulation (never offensive intent)
- Zero disclosure of sensitive internals
- Defender-first engineering
- Transparency in mission, not in proprietary mechanics
- Strengthening global cybersecurity through safe research
PRL creates tools that help defenders thrive — not adversaries.
Our Founder
Harrison “Kernel Whisperer” Edwards
Security researcher and architect of the PRL philosophy.
Known for:
- Memory-level forensic analysis
- Threat chain reconstruction
- Advanced adversary-simulation research
- Bridging deep technical research with practical defensive value
His direction shapes PRL’s standard of discretion, rigor, and innovation.
Our Mission
To illuminate the capabilities of modern adversaries — safely and responsibly — and give defenders the clarity they need.
To make the invisible, visible.
