Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Simulate real-world attacks on your infrastructure to uncover weaknesses before adversaries do.

Overview

Your infrastructure components, servers, network devices, and endpoints often contain hidden vulnerabilities due to misconfigurations, outdated software, or weak policies. Attackers exploiting these can gain unauthorized access, disrupt services, or move laterally within your network.

Our Infrastructure Penetration Testing service thoroughly evaluates your infrastructure’s security posture by simulating real-world attacks aimed at uncovering misconfigurations, outdated software, and weak defenses before adversaries exploit them.

Learn more about Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Infrastructure

Network Discovery

Identify live hosts, open ports, services, and devices across the infrastructure.

Vulnerability Assessment

Detect known vulnerabilities, missing patches, and misconfigurations.

Password & Credential Testing

Identify weak, default, or reused credentials across systems and services.

Exploit Attempts

Safely exploit validated weaknesses to demonstrate real-world risk.

Privilege Escalation

Escalate access to administrative accounts or critical systems.

Persistence & Lateral Movement

Simulate attacker techniques to maintain access and move within the network.

Critical Asset Exposure

Identify sensitive data, management interfaces, and high-value targets.

Configuration Issues

Review system, device, and policy configurations for security flaws.

Testing Methodology

1

Scoping & Kick-off

Define the project’s objectives, scope, and constraints, aligning expectations, testing approach, and deliverables during a structured kick-off meeting.

2

Reconnaissance

Collect passive and active information about network architecture, hardware, operating systems, services, and external-facing assets to map the infrastructure landscape and uncover potential entry points.

3

Threat Modeling

Analyze gathered data to identify likely attack paths, critical servers (e.g., perimeter firewalls, VPN gateways), and high-value targets (e.g., databases, application servers). Prioritize based on business impact and ease of exploitation.

4

Vulnerability Analysis

Use automated tools to scan for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in network devices, operating systems, and applications, followed by manual verification to confirm findings and rank them by exploitability.

5

Exploitation & Initial Access

Safely exploit validated vulnerabilities to demonstrate realistic access scenarios such as open ports, unpatched services, or weak credentials to gain initial access to systems without disrupting operations.

6

Post-Exploitation & Lateral Movement

Assess the extent of access achieved by demonstrating lateral movement between hosts, privilege escalation to administrative accounts, and potential data exfiltration paths. Demonstrate persistence techniques applicable to infrastructure components.

7

Reporting & Debrief

Produce a comprehensive report containing an executive summary, scope, methodology, prioritized findings with evidence/PoCs, business impact, risk ratings, and actionable remediation, and present the results during a restitution meeting.

8

Retest (Optional)

Ensure all identified vulnerabilities have been properly fixed without introducing new risks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Confirmed scope, targets, and testing windows.
  • Necessary approvals and credentials for authenticated testing.
  • Network diagrams, asset inventories, or architecture documentation if available.
  • Whitelist our IPs and accounts where needed for uninterrupted testing.

Weaknesses within a network can be exploited by insiders or unauthorized actors to move laterally, access sensitive data, or disrupt operations. This service simulates those real-world scenarios to find and fix vulnerabilities before they are weaponized.

Our tests are designed to be safe and non-destructive. If performed in production, we coordinate testing windows to reduce any potential impact. Disruptive actions are always validated and approved beforehand.

Typically between 5 and 15 business days, depending on environment size and complexity. Smaller infrastructures can be covered in 5–7 days, while larger multi-segment or hybrid environments may extend to 15 days or more.
