What is Network Penetration Testing?

Network penetration testing, commonly known as pen testing, refers to a simulated cyberattack against a network. This test evaluates how sound or vulnerable the defenses of a network are by identifying the areas of vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and other possible gaps awaiting exploitation by malicious hackers. Network penetration testing, therefore, seeks to give businesses ideas about their security posture; thus, corrections can be made in due course of time before actual threats pose any attacks.​​

There are two types of network penetration testing: external and internal. External penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities that exist in the network components which are exposed to the internet. Examples include web servers, VPNs, and other types of servers. On the other hand, internal penetration testing identifies those types of vulnerabilities that can be exploited by a person with authorized access, such as employees or contractors to the business. Performing an extensive network penetration testing enables the organizations to enhance the security levels while protecting the sensitive data and upholding regulatory standards.

Most Pentest Providers:

Unpatched Software and Firmware

Poor Patch Management primarily leaves your systems open to exploit and breaches. We provide a full-scale patch management assessment for ensuring the security and resilience of your network against threats..

Weak or Default Credentials

Unauthorized people can get access to critical systems and data that are critical due to weak or default credentials. We scan all vulnerabilities so that your network is secured with robust security.​

Lack of Encryption

Lack of encryption leaves your data vulnerable to interception and unauthorized access. Our services include comprehensive scanning of each encryption protocol in our solutions while further considering the strength of your information on every channel.​

Misconfigured Firewalls and Access Controls

Misconfigured firewalls and access controls can leave your network vulnerable to unauthorized access and data breaches. Our services include comprehensive assessments to ensure your firewalls and access controls are properly set up to protect your critical assets.​

Open Ports and
Services

Wrongly opened ports and services can open up avenues for unauthorized access and potential malicious attacks. Our services include comprehensive scanning of both open ports and running services in your network.​

Inadequate Network Segmentation

Poor network segmentation can lead to unauthorized access and lateral movement within your network, heightening the risk of a security breach. Our services include comprehensive network segmentation assessments and tailored solutions to enhance your network's security posture and minimize potential threats.​

Common Vulnerabilities

Network Penetration Testing Vulnerabilities

Unpatched Windows Machines

Unpatched Windows machines can often pose a significant risk to a network’s security. Machines not running the latest updates remain vulnerable to exploits that can lead to data breaches or full system compromises.

Insecure Network Segregation

Inadequate network segregation can allow attackers to move laterally across your network, often accessing sensitive information and systems.

Unencrypted Communications

Communications which are not encrypted can be easily intercepted by attackers, leading to the exposure of clear-text login credentials or business information.

Legacy Network Protocols (Netbios, LLMNR, NBT-NS)

Using outdated network protocols, such as NetBIOS, LLMNR, and NBT-NS, can enable attackers to poison requests on your network and capture password hashes. Modernising network protocols and disabling unnecessary protocols can greatly reduce the attack surface.

Default Credentials

Using default credentials for network devices and applications is a common but critical security issue. Attackers often conduct password spraying to identify and exploit systems that have default credentials.

Insecure Firewalls

Improperly configured firewalls can fail to protect vital network resources from external and internal threats. Attackers can exploit a poorly configured firewall to gain access to your network.

What are the benefits of a network penetration test?

Network Security Testing Methodology

In the first phase, we define the test’s objectives, scope, and boundaries. We also identify the target network environments, resources, and services to set clear goals for the testing process.

In this initial phase, we define the scope and objectives of the penetration testing project. We identify the API endpoints to be tested, understand the business logic and functionalities of the API, and set clear goals and expectations. Proper scoping ensures that we focus our testing efforts and align them with the organisation’s security requirements.

This phase is all about thoroughness. We collect a wealth of data, including IP ranges, domain names, and publicly available information, to establish potential entry points and areas of interest. By conducting both passive and active reconnaissance, we gather maximum intelligence on the target environment, ensuring a comprehensive understanding.

We perform automated and manual scans to detect vulnerabilities in network resources. We assess the security of virtual machines, storage services, databases, and network components. This phase aims to identify outdated software, unpatched vulnerabilities, and insecure APIs that could pose security risks.

This phase is proactive in nature. We analyse intelligence to model potential threats, determining how attackers could exploit identified vulnerabilities and assessing the possible impact on network infrastructure. This proactive approach helps us prioritise vulnerabilities based on their risk level and potential damage, ensuring a strategic remediation process.

We exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain access to cloud resources. We use privilege escalation techniques to determine achievable access levels. We evaluate the potential impact of successful exploitation, gather evidence to support our findings and develop remediation recommendations.

We document all findings, including vulnerabilities, exploitation results, and recommended remediation steps. We provide a comprehensive report with an executive summary and detailed technical findings. We conduct retests (Which are free) to ensure that the applied corrections and enhancements are effective and that no vulnerabilities remain exploitable.
