no_list: true
---
Short operations that allow us to explore intial access vectors we come across.
Opportunistic attacks are short (ideally a few days at most) more spontaneous initiatives than [Stealth Operations](../stealth-operations.md).
Benefits include:
- They give GitLab more opportunities to practice detecting and responding to realistic threats in a controlled environment, allowing faster iteration on our defensive capabilities including investigation skills.
- They allow us to quickly demonstrate impact of a security concern we find.
- They allow us to action this intelligence quickly in order to demonstrate impact of a security risk.
They can be done at any time, from any source IP address, and against any GitLab-managed asset without prior approval or notification.
If vulnerabilities are discovered, we will exploit them and work to safely demonstrate maximum impact. This may involve establishing persistence, escalating privileges, and other common attack techniques.
When immediate action is required, we will follow the standard process for [reporting an incident](/handbook/security/#reporting-an-incident). For vulnerabilities that appear wide-spread or recurring, we will create an issue inside the [Vulnerability Management issue tracker](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-security/product-security/vulnerability-management/vulnerability-management-internal/vulnerability-management-tracker/-/issues) to implement automated scanning capabilities.
We list examples of [opportunistic attack techniques](../how-we-operate/rules-of-engagement.md#opportunistic-attack-techniques) inside our rules of engagement.
## Club Red
Club Red is our programme that allows GitLab team members to help us discover and develop initial access vectors and optionally, collaborate with us to carry them out.
Occasionally team members reach out with a cool hack idea, often based on knowledge they have. Club Red aims to provide a way for them to collaborate with us develop their idea for a greater overall security result for GitLab.
If you are an internal GitLab team member with an interesting idea, please [contact us](../_index.md#contact-us).
