External Penetration Testing
An external penetration test emulates the role of an attacker attempting to gain access to an internal network without internal resources or inside knowledge.
An engineer attempts to gather sensitive information through open-source intelligence (OSINT), including employee information, historical breached passwords, and more that can be leveraged against external systems to gain internal network access.
The engineer also performs scanning and enumeration to identify potential vulnerabilities in hopes of exploitation.
Benefits
- Identify vulnerabilities in internet-facing systems before attackers do.
- Strengthen your external defences to prevent unauthorised access.
- Gain insights into real-world attack scenarios targeting your network perimeter.
- Protect critical business assets and reputation by reducing exposure.
Common Vulnerabilities
- Outdated software and unpatched systems.
- Weak or default passwords.
- Misconfigured services or ports.
- Exposed sensitive data or information leakage.
- Vulnerable web applications or interfaces.
- Insecure VPN configurations.
Methodology
- Reconnaissance and enumeration of exposed assets.
- Scanning using automated and manual methods.
- Exploitation of identified vulnerabilities to determine impact.
- Post-exploitation analysis to identify additional risks.
- Reporting with clear remediation guidance.
