Network Penetration Testing
Why Network Penetration Testing?
In the realm of sophisticated modern-day hacking, given adequate time and effort, vulnerabilities within your network can be uncovered. This underscores the importance of proactively identifying these weaknesses before malicious hackers have the opportunity to exploit them.
Through our network penetration testing, we employ ethical hacking techniques and controlled exploits to pinpoint vulnerabilities within your network. This process ensures a thorough understanding of your security posture, allowing for proactive measures to bolster your defenses.
Dependence on vulnerability scans alone is not advisable.
Penetration tests delve deeper into security assessments. Unlike traditional vulnerability scans, which rely on automated security scanners identifying patterns and signatures from a predefined set of vulnerabilities, scans lack “context-awareness.” They are unable to comprehend crucial business functions or essential security controls.
The Solution for Network Penetration Testing.
Relying solely on vulnerability scans may lead to overlooking critical security flaws and insecure device configurations. Our manual network penetration testing utilizes the insights provided by vulnerability scanners but extends beyond, conducting in-depth analysis and making informed decisions to enhance the protection of your network.
The Network Penetration Testing Process
Weltedulearn experts have formulated a comprehensive network pentest checklist and process based on decades of experience in the industry.
Information Gathering
The initiation of the Network Penetration Process involves conducting a thorough examination of your network, encompassing architecture mapping and a comprehensive network scan.
Scanning
The network penetration testing process advances with the examination of open, closed, and filtered ports through port scanning and war dialing.
Fingerprinting
Following the completion of scans, OS fingerprinting is performed to assess the operating system type, patch level, and system type, followed by protocol identification.
Vulnerability Scanning
Upon the conclusion of fingerprinting, a vulnerability scan is conducted utilizing automated scanning techniques with access to a vulnerability database, enabling the verification of any identified vulnerabilities or exploits.
Exploit Verification
Through manual verification and password cracking, we examine and retest available exploits if needed to validate results before generating reports.
Reports
At the completion of a network penetration test, detailed reports are generated to present findings, propose solutions, and offer recommendations.
