DumpsterFire is a modular, menu-driven, cross-platform Python toolset for building repeatable, time-delayed, distributed security events. It lets Red and Blue Teams chain event modules into narratives that generate realistic network and filesystem artifacts for drills, distractions, and sensor/alert mapping.

Use cases

• simulate security incidents for blue team drills
• create decoy incidents to distract incident responders during red team engagements
• map and test SIEM sensors and alerting coverage
• turn tabletop exercises into live-fire security range events
• schedule time-delayed distributed security events across subnets
• test analyst response to Mirai botnet-style activity
• build custom event modules for purple team exercises

When to choose

• you need repeatable, automated security incident simulations for training or drills
• you want to test sensor and alert coverage with controlled event chains
• you are a red team needing decoy activity to distract defenders
• you want an extensible Python framework for custom security event modules

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade adversary emulation framework like Caldera or Atomic Red Team
• you require actively maintained tooling - the latest release is from 2020
• you need stealthy, sophisticated attack tooling rather than noisy simulation events
• you want a GUI-driven security testing platform
