Internal Network Penetration Testing

We work with the client to define the internal assets, IP ranges, systems, and environments that are in scope for testing. Any exclusions, operational constraints, or testing windows are confirmed to ensure the assessment aligns with business operations and security requirements.

Starting from a zero or low-privilege internal user, we identify internal hosts, live systems, open ports, running services, network shares, and exposed applications. We also leverage OSINT techniques to identify leaked credentials, exposed assets, and publicly available information that could assist an attacker. Automated tooling combined with manual analysis helps uncover misconfigurations, weak security controls, outdated services, and potential attack paths within the environment.

We analyze identified services and systems for exploitable vulnerabilities, insecure configurations, exposed credentials, and weak access controls. Controlled exploitation is performed where appropriate to validate risk and determine the potential impact of compromise.

Once access is established, we evaluate whether segmentation controls and internal defenses can be bypassed. This includes testing the ability to pivot between systems, access sensitive resources, and move deeper into the network while maintaining a controlled and minimally disruptive approach.

We provide a detailed report outlining identified vulnerabilities, attack paths, business impact, and prioritized remediation recommendations. Reporting is tailored for both technical teams and leadership, with clear explanations and actionable guidance. If requested, we also conduct an out-briefing or executive walkthrough of the assessment findings.

As an additional service, after remediation efforts are completed, we can perform a follow-up assessment to validate that vulnerabilities have been properly addressed. This includes verifying configuration changes, confirming patches are applied successfully, and ensuring no new security weaknesses were introduced during remediation.
