Network Penetration Testing

Adversary-emulated network assessment — from external perimeter to internal domain compromise — using the same tools and techniques a real attacker would use.

Engagement types

  • Black box — no prior knowledge; simulates an external threat actor discovering and exploiting your environment from scratch
  • Grey box — scoped credentials or network diagram provided; most common for internal network assessments
  • Assumed breach — starts from an already-compromised workstation; focuses on lateral movement, privilege escalation, and persistence
  • External perimeter — focused on Internet-facing infrastructure: VPN gateways, mail servers, public-facing apps

What you get

  • Daily portal updates — hosts discovered, findings filed, evidence logged in real time
  • Executive PDF with severity overview, risk narrative, and remediation roadmap
  • Technical annex with full reproduction steps, screenshots, and MITRE ATT&CK technique mapping
  • Attack-path visualization showing the complete exploitation chain
  • Remediation tracking in the portal so your team can confirm fixes
  • Debrief call with leadership and technical teams

Our methodology

1 · Reconnaissance

Passive OSINT plus active enumeration — ASN lookups, DNS enumeration, certificate transparency, Shodan, LinkedIn for org-chart context. Attack surface mapped before a single packet is sent.

2 · Enumeration

Port scanning, service fingerprinting, SMB share enumeration, LDAP/AD enumeration, web crawling. BloodHound for Active Directory relationship mapping to identify shortest privilege-escalation paths.

3 · Exploitation

Confirmed vulnerabilities are exploited using real-world tradecraft — Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, NTLM relay, credential stuffing, misconfiguration abuse. No automated spray-and-pray.

4 · Post-exploitation

Privilege escalation, lateral movement across subnets, persistence mechanisms, and credential harvest documented in full. Evidence is timestamped and uploaded to your portal daily.

5 · Documentation

Each finding: severity, CVSS score, affected asset, reproduction steps, evidence artifacts, MITRE ATT&CK ID, and specific remediation guidance. No generic copy-paste findings.

6 · Debrief

Walk-through call for leadership covering risk narrative, business impact, and recommended remediation priority. Separate technical debrief available for your IT/security team.

Frameworks & standards

PTES

Penetration Testing Execution Standard — defines scoping, intelligence gathering, threat modeling, exploitation, and reporting phases.

MITRE ATT&CK

All exploitation techniques mapped to ATT&CK Enterprise tactics and technique IDs — giving your blue team direct IOC and detection context.

NIST CSF / SP 800-115

Findings mapped to NIST CSF functions (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond) for direct alignment with your security program metrics.

Best for

  • Organizations preparing for a compliance audit (SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA)
  • Companies with no prior pentest history wanting a baseline
  • Post-merger integration — understanding the inherited attack surface
  • Annual security program validation
