Harden Your Testing
Comprehensive internal and external network penetration testing, Active Directory attack simulations, and cloud infrastructure assessments. We find the paths attackers would use to compromise your most critical assets.
Infrastructure Penetration Testing?
Infrastructure Penetration Testing is an authorized simulated attack against your network infrastructure designed to identify security weaknesses before malicious actors can exploit them. This includes testing firewalls, routers, switches, servers, endpoints, Active Directory, VPN gateways, and cloud environments.
Our testers use the same tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed by advanced persistent threats — including network enumeration, service exploitation, credential attacks, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exfiltration — to provide an accurate assessment of your defenses.
Our Process
A structured, comprehensive approach tailored to your specific needs and requirements.
Network Reconnaissance
External Footprint Analysis
OSINT gathering, DNS enumeration, subdomain discovery, and identification of internet-facing assets and potential entry points.
Network Topology Mapping
Comprehensive port scanning, service fingerprinting, OS detection, and network architecture mapping.
Credential Intelligence
Searching for leaked credentials, exposed configuration files, default accounts, and publicly available information.
Vulnerability Discovery
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
Enterprise-grade scanning to identify known CVEs, misconfigurations, outdated software, and weak security controls.
Manual Service Analysis
Deep-dive analysis of critical services and configurations that automated tools may overlook.
Active Directory Assessment
Enumeration of AD objects, trust relationships, Group Policy, certificate services, and privilege escalation paths.
Exploitation & Lateral Movement
Initial Access & Exploitation
Controlled exploitation of vulnerabilities to gain initial footholds, demonstrating real-world impact.
Privilege Escalation
Escalating from initial access to domain admin using Kerberoasting, token manipulation, and kernel exploits.
Lateral Movement & Pivoting
Simulating adversary movement through your network to test segmentation and detection capabilities.
Reporting & Hardening
Attack Path Documentation
Complete documentation of every attack chain with visual network diagrams and reproduction steps.
Prioritized Remediation Plan
Risk-ranked findings with specific hardening recommendations for network, AD, and cloud configurations.
Retesting & Validation
Post-remediation verification to confirm fixes are effective with updated risk assessment.
