Services

Network Penetration Testing by Hacknox involves simulating real-world cyberattacks on an organization's network to identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and potential entry points that could be exploited by malicious actors. This service is essential for enhancing the security of network infrastructure and ensuring that it is resilient against attacks. The service includes the following steps:

1. Network Scanning and Mapping

Identifying and mapping all devices, servers, routers, and firewalls within the network to understand the attack surface and potential vulnerabilities.

2. Vulnerability Assessment

Scanning for known vulnerabilities in systems, devices, applications, and configurations within the network, including outdated software, weak passwords, and improper configurations.

3. Exploitation Attempts

Using controlled methods to attempt exploitation of identified vulnerabilities, mimicking real-world attack scenarios to assess the risk posed by each vulnerability.

4. Privilege Escalation

Attempting to gain higher-level access (administrator or root) within the network to understand the potential damage that could be caused if an attacker gains full access.

5. Lateral Movement

Simulating an attacker’s ability to move laterally within the network to identify how far an attacker could penetrate once initial access is gained, including pivoting between systems or exploiting interconnected services.

6. Social Engineering Testing

Conducting phishing or other social engineering tactics to test how easily an attacker can trick users into compromising network security.

7. Report and Recommendations

Providing detailed reports with findings, including identified vulnerabilities, the severity of each, and recommendations for mitigation or remediation. This helps organizations prioritize which vulnerabilities to address first.

8. Post-Testing Support

Offering guidance and assistance in patching vulnerabilities and strengthening security measures post-test.

By conducting thorough network penetration tests, Hacknox helps organizations understand their network's security posture, uncover hidden risks, and implement necessary improvements to defend against potential cyber threats. This proactive approach ensures that networks are secure and resilient.
