Network Penetration Testing
Testing your network infrastructure like a real attacker — from the outside in and the inside out.
Why This Matters
Network infrastructure vulnerabilities are consistently among the top attack vectors in real-world breaches. Misconfigured firewalls, unpatched services, and weak segmentation give attackers the pathways they need to reach critical systems.
Your network perimeter is the first line of defense — and the first thing attackers probe. We test your external-facing infrastructure for exposed services, misconfigurations, default credentials, and exploitable vulnerabilities that could give an attacker their initial foothold.
Internal network testing goes deeper. We simulate an insider threat or a compromised endpoint, testing VLAN segmentation, Active Directory security, lateral movement paths, and privilege escalation routes. We map out exactly how far an attacker could go once inside your network.
Key Focus Areas
External Perimeter Testing
Port scanning, service enumeration, vulnerability assessment, and exploitation of internet-facing assets including VPNs, mail servers, and web gateways.
Internal Network Testing
VLAN hopping, ARP poisoning, relay attacks, SMB signing bypasses, and lateral movement testing from a compromised endpoint perspective.
Active Directory Security
Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, delegation abuse, GPO manipulation, DCSync attacks, and domain privilege escalation paths.
Wireless Network Testing
WPA/WPA2/WPA3 assessment, rogue access point detection, evil twin attacks, and wireless network segmentation verification.
Firewall & Segmentation Review
Firewall rule analysis, network segmentation verification, ACL review, and testing for unauthorized cross-segment access.
Protocol & Service Testing
Testing DNS, SNMP, NTP, LDAP, RDP, SSH, and other network protocols for misconfigurations and known vulnerabilities.
How We Work
Scoping & Reconnaissance
Defining target IP ranges, network segments, and testing boundaries. External OSINT and passive reconnaissance.
Discovery & Enumeration
Comprehensive port scanning, service detection, OS fingerprinting, and vulnerability identification across all in-scope assets.
Vulnerability Assessment
Manual verification of identified vulnerabilities, eliminating false positives and confirming exploitability in your environment.
Exploitation & Pivoting
Safe exploitation of confirmed vulnerabilities, demonstrating real-world impact through lateral movement and privilege escalation.
Active Directory Attacks
Comprehensive AD security testing including Kerberos attacks, delegation abuse, and domain-level privilege escalation.
