Network Penetration Testing - Internal and External VAPT

Network Penetration Test

In the realm of cybersecurity, Network Penetration Testing isn’t just about discovering vulnerabilities; it’s a strategic dance with threats, a relentless pursuit of weaknesses, and an unwavering commitment to fortify the digital fortress against unseen adversaries.

Network Penetration Test: While automation tools are valuable, the real key lies in our hands-on approach

External Network VA/PT: Penetration testing, a prevalent activity from start-ups to leading organizations, includes External Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. It targets internet-facing websites, making scanning of external-facing network resources crucial. Krash Consulting prioritizes a thorough assessment of your external network’s hardness, following OSSTMM phases. This black-box penetration test simulates an attacker’s perspective without prior information about testing topology and services.

Internal Network VA/PT: Organizations often assume attackers are outside their network, focusing on perimeter security. Unfortunately, this assumption leads to data leaks (think ransomware). An internal network penetration test reveals how a single infected computer, stolen credentials, or rogue employees can undermine security. Krash Consulting’s Internal Penetration Testing campaign combines automation testing and manual testing with a standard ratio of 1:9 for effective services. Some techniques involve automated vulnerability scanning for comprehensive tests.

Overview:

Network penetration testing, also called network pen testing or infrastructure hacking, simulates real-world cyberattacks on a network infrastructure to identify and assess vulnerabilities. The primary objective is proactively discovering weaknesses, potential entry points, and security gaps to provide insights for remediation. This process enhances the overall security posture of the network, combining automated tools and manual testing methodologies. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls, detect vulnerabilities, and emulate malicious actors’ tactics in a controlled, authorized manner. Ultimately, organizations aim to fortify their networks against potential cyber threats.

Our Methodology:

Krash Consulting’s Network Penetration Test is a hand-crafted and thoroughly executed assault on your systems and applications. Our goal is to reveal any hidden threats and vulnerabilities so you can act to address them.

Planning and execution are done by highly skilled cybersecurity experts, penetration testers run a full series of hand-crafted simulated attacks against your systems and applications. We view your infrastructure the way an intruder would – anything from a teen thrill-hacker to malicious assaults by highly skilled adversaries. Our personnel can quickly identify the most likely vectors for attacks.

Our Approach:

For a Penetration Test to be beneficial, we perform many manual tests allowing us to simulate real attackers which includes, but not limited to:

Network and IP spoofing such as mitm6 or responder with ntlmrelayx.
The exploitation of software that has not been hardened or securely configured like Active Directory and VPN Servers.
Pass-the-hash (PtH) attacks, lateral movements, NTLM offline brute force, credential dumping, etc.
Default or weak credentials.
Lack of network access control and proper network segmentation
Ways to bypass or abuse security solutions.

Benefits:

Prevents unnecessary and expensive downtime and data theft by providing you with early warning security intelligence.
Helps your organization to be upbeat in preventing attacks.
Help meet regulatory and compliance requirements.
Customized reports will help you take both strategic and tactical decisions.

In our Penetration Testing approach, we diverge from the conventional practice of inundating reports with automated scan outputs. Instead, our emphasis lies in delivering a report of impeccable quality, prioritizing the relevance and severity of identified vulnerabilities over sheer quantity.

In essence, our Internal or External Network Penetration Testing transcends the boundaries of traditional approaches. We provide a nuanced, quality-driven perspective, focusing on exploitation, uncovering multiple paths to critical assets, and addressing the challenges posed by modern security technologies like EDR. Our goal is to empower organizations with actionable insights, fortifying their internal networks against the dynamic landscape of cyber threats.
