Overview : Network Penetration Testing

A network vulnerability assessment and penetration test, or network VAPT, is a technical security assessment that moves beyond allowable port scanning and vulnerability enumeration to see risks to security and the business impact on that organization's network, regardless if its the wireless or the internal network or external. Network Security Testing is an essential action to assess vulnerabilities, weaknesses of a network, potential target threats that hackers can compromise on an organizations networks, servers, and applications if a hacker gains exploit level access. It is a critical component to assess how secure a network based on its goals, objectives, and functions, including the simulation of attacks, and the unauthorized access of a target network to confirm the state of a network's security posture.

Methodology

Black Box
Gray Box
White Box

Black Box, also called behavioral or external testing, is a software testing technique in which the internal code structure, implementation details, and internal paths of an application are not known. The emphasis is on the application's input and output which is entirely reliant on the specifications and requirements for the software.

Gray box testing is a software testing method that combines black box and white box testing. Gray box testing is used to test an application without needing to have a specific knowledge of the underlying code. Instead, it looks for faults caused by poor code structure within a context.

White Box testing evaluates a software's internal structure, coding and architecture to check the input-output flow in the software and improve the design, security and functionality of the program. It is also known as Internal testing, Clear box testing, Open box testing and Glass box testing because the testers are able to see the code.

Our Approach

Define Scope

Before conducting an application assessment, the client's scope of work needs to be clarified. During this time, it is beneficial to encourage open communication between the business and the client in order to establish a safe platform on which to conduct assessments.

At this stage, a variety of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tools and tactics are in play to collect as much information as possible on the target. The information collected will help us understand how the relationship works which will allow us to accurately assess the risk as it evolves.

At this time, we combine computerized resources and tools with different methods of data collection to make more sophisticated data. All proposed attack vectors are subject to review by our experts, and the next step will be to use the data that we have acquired to apply it.

We perform both a manual and an automatic security scan in this state to find all possible attack paths and vulnerabilities. Then we carry out a set of exploits against the application to validate the security of the application. We perform penetration utilizing a high level of a variety of techniques, custom and open-source scripts, and our internal tools. All of this is accomplished to provide security for your application and your data.

This is the final step in the entire assessment process. This step involves collecting all the information we have obtained, analyzing it as necessary, and supplying the client with a full, complete summary of our results. The full report will include a full assessment of all of the hazards and the final report will also include a list of all of the strengths and weaknesses of the application.
