Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Infrastructure testing examines your systems and the networks that connect them. We identify operating systems and services, then look for weaknesses that allow unauthorized access. Testing follows OSSTMM, with wireless work additionally aligned to NIST SP 800-115 and PTES.

Testing phases

Internal and external scopes follow the same disciplined progression. Every action stays within agreed safety limits and rules of engagement.

  • Information gathering

    We collect public-source intelligence, server headers, DNS records, and technology fingerprints.

  • Port scanning & service enumeration

    We identify open TCP and UDP ports, running services, versions, and reachable interfaces.

  • Credentials & password guessing

    We test weak or default accounts and controlled dictionary attacks within the agreed rules.

  • Vulnerability scanning

    We compare discovered software and configurations with CVE databases and relevant exploit sources.

  • Exploitation

    Where safe and approved, we validate weaknesses by gaining controlled access to the target.

  • Privilege escalation

    We determine whether initial access can be extended to the highest available privilege level.

  • Post-exploitation

    We test lateral movement and demonstrate potential paths to sensitive systems or data exfiltration.

External Penetration Testing

We simulate an attacker on the public internet targeting exposed systems such as web servers, VPN gateways, mail servers, RDP, SSH, FTP, and other reachable services, with no internal access assumed.

  • Information gathering & service analysis

    We map open ports, services, versions, network architecture, and segmentation, then test default credentials and controlled dictionary attacks.

  • Vulnerability identification

    We examine known CVEs, misconfigurations, weak authentication, missing MFA or lockouts, and exposed management interfaces.

  • Network device security

    We assess firewalls, switches, routers, printers, and VPN gateways for unauthorized access, unsafe ACLs, and exposed administration.

  • Data protection & exploitation

    We review access to databases and sensitive systems, then validate risk through controlled exploitation, privilege escalation, and post-exploitation activity.

Internal Penetration Testing

We evaluate the network from the perspective of an attacker who already has internal access and test how far that foothold can be extended, up to full domain compromise.

  • Compromised employee workstation

    Starting as a standard user, we test local privilege escalation, credential dumping, NTLM and Kerberos attacks, and paths toward domain administrator.

  • Unauthorized visitor on-site

    We connect through an Ethernet port or guest Wi-Fi to test whether visitor networks are isolated from internal systems.

  • Compromised VPN credentials

    We simulate stolen employee VPN access, then perform network discovery, topology mapping, and controlled exploitation.

  • Comprehensive internal review

    We assess major attack paths across servers, workstations, network equipment, printers, cameras, security systems, and other connected devices.

Techniques used

  • Local privilege escalation

    DLL hijacking, unquoted service paths, and unsafe service or scheduled-task permissions.

  • Endpoint bypass & credential theft

    Controlled AV/EDR evasion, LSASS dumping, token theft, and credentials exposed in scripts, shares, or Group Policy.

  • Active Directory attacks

    Kerberoasting, attack-path mapping, NTLM relay, Pass-the-Hash, Pass-the-Ticket, and AD Certificate Services abuse.

  • Physical network port testing

    Unauthenticated Ethernet access, VLAN segmentation checks, and network access control bypass attempts.

Wireless Network Testing

Wireless networks create a distinct risk: an attack can begin from public space near a building without physical access to the infrastructure inside.

  • Discovery & mapping

    We identify SSIDs, access points, WPA2 or WPA3 use, signal reach beyond the perimeter, rogue access points, and hidden networks.

  • Authentication & resilience

    We test password attacks and WPA handshake capture, WPS PIN and deauthentication attacks, Evil Twin scenarios, and—where WPA-Enterprise is used—RADIUS bypass and credential-capture resistance.

  • Segmentation & isolation

    We verify guest isolation, cross-client visibility, VLAN boundaries, and whether wireless compromise enables movement into internal infrastructure.

  • Configuration & management

    We review access point and controller interfaces, firmware currency, default credentials, 802.1X setup, and security policy correctness.

A clear process from scope to retest

You know what is happening, who to contact, and when to expect each deliverable.

  1. 1

    Scoping

    We confirm targets, objectives, access levels, exclusions, and the compliance requirement the test supports.

  2. 2

    Kickoff & rules of engagement

    We agree communications, safety limits, test accounts, escalation contacts, and the incident process before testing begins.

  3. 3

    Testing window

    Our specialists combine manual techniques with automated tooling. Critical findings are reported immediately, not held for the final report.

  4. 4

    Written report

    Each finding includes evidence, remediation guidance, CVSS scoring, and a real-world exploitability assessment for your environment.

  5. 5

    Follow-up consultation

    A free session with our technical team explains the findings, business impact, and practical remediation options.

  6. 6

    Retest

    We verify completed fixes and document the result so you can show auditors and stakeholders what changed.
