Moving on Up: New Domain, Same Puck
Brought to you by Offensive Context based on 20 years of experience in penetration testing, red teaming, offensive tooling, and vulnerability research.
Bigger Stage, Same Mission
We're excited to announce that Puck Tools is moving to pucktools.com! This move represents a significant milestone in our journey to help organizations strengthen their network security through continuous egress testing. While our domain is changing, our core mission remains the same: helping you find and fix outbound network leaks before attackers do.
Why the Move Matters
The transition to pucktools.com isn't just about a new web address – it's about reaching a broader audience of security professionals, CISOs, IT teams, and DevOps engineers who need better tools for validating their network defenses. Our .com domain gives us the visibility and credibility needed to serve more organizations struggling with the same egress security challenges we've been solving.
The Problem We're Solving (Still the Same)
For those new to Puck Tools, here's what we're all about: outbound network controls ("egress") are often weaker than organizations assume. In two decades of offensive security work, we've consistently found that companies confidently claim their firewalls block all unauthorized outbound traffic, only to discover hidden gaps through our testing.
Attackers routinely exploit these outbound paths for command-and-control (C2) and data exfiltration. Unfortunately, many defenses focus on stopping intrusions at the front door (ingress) while the back door (egress) remains ajar. Assuming your egress is locked down is risky – you need to validate it.
What Puck Tools Does (Unchanged)
At its core, pucktools.com is a specialized security platform designed to uncover network leaks by testing egress paths. Here's how it works:
- Continuous Egress Testing & Monitoring: Puck continuously enumerates common outbound channels and ports that attackers might use for C2 or exfiltration
- Multi-Protocol Coverage: Tests outbound connectivity over HTTP(S), TCP, UDP, DNS, and other protocols commonly abused by attackers
- Real-Time Alerts: Immediate notifications when egress paths are successfully established that shouldn't be
- Safe and Non-Disruptive: Uses dummy data in controlled, read-only tests that won't impact your systems
- Easy Deployment: Deploy as a small physical device, lightweight software, or container in the cloud
What's Not Changing
Everything you love about Puck Tools stays exactly the same:
- ✅ Same powerful egress testing capabilities
- ✅ Same real-time monitoring and alerting
- ✅ Same easy deployment options
- ✅ Same comprehensive reporting and dashboards
- ✅ Same commitment to proactive defense
- ✅ Same team and expertise behind the platform
What's Getting Better
The move to pucktools.com brings several advantages:
- Broader Reach: We can now serve more organizations worldwide
- Enhanced Credibility: The .com domain provides the professional presence our enterprise customers expect
- Better Discoverability: More security professionals can find and benefit from our platform
- Improved Support: Our growing user base helps us refine and enhance the platform faster
The Bigger Picture: Why Egress Security Matters
As we expand our reach, it's worth emphasizing why continuous egress testing is so critical:
Networks are dynamic – new systems come online, cloud services spin up, developers open ports for troubleshooting, or updates alter firewall settings. A rule that worked last month might be inadvertently changed today.
Continuous monitoring and validation of network defenses is essential. Just as we employ continuous integration and testing in development, our security controls need continuous testing. Without ongoing checks, an organization might go months assuming "no news is good news," only to find out that a misconfigured firewall has been quietly allowing outbound traffic all along.
Proactive Defense Through Validation
The ultimate goal remains the same: enabling proactive defense. In today's threat landscape, it's not enough to simply set defenses and hope for the best – you need to continuously validate that those defenses actually work. This is especially true for network egress, where a single overlooked opening can be all an attacker needs to quietly exfiltrate critical data.
By regularly simulating outbound attack patterns, Puck lets your blue team and IT staff operate with an "assume breach" mindset: Assume an attacker might already be inside and trying to phone home, and make sure nothing gets out.
What This Means for You
If you're already using Puck Tools, nothing changes for your deployment or operations. Your agents will continue working exactly as before, and you'll continue receiving the same high-quality monitoring and alerting.
If you're new to Puck Tools, welcome! We're excited to help you strengthen your network security posture. Our platform provides evidence-based assurance that your investments in firewalls, proxies, and network segmentation are holding strong.
Looking Forward
This move represents our commitment to making egress security testing accessible to more organizations. We believe that continuous validation of network defenses shouldn't be a luxury – it should be a standard practice for any organization serious about security.
As we grow our community of users, we'll continue to refine and enhance Puck Tools based on real-world feedback and emerging threat patterns. Our mission remains clear: help you find and fix outbound network leaks before attackers do.
