Advanced penetration testing and cyber-security

Due to the rapid expansion of web applications, new attack vectors are emerging everyday, that malicious hackers can use for their personal gains to the detriment of your business.

Each penetration test can be performed via black, grey or white box method. Black box testing is ideal for simulating real world threats when attacker has zero information about the targets, while white box approach can potentially find more vulnerabilities by utilizing all the knowledge of inner workings of all the services behind the web resources unavailable to outsiders.

Web application penetration testing is comprised of several main phases:

0. Pre-Engagement: define client goals, legal documents preparation and NDA signing.
1. Reconnaissance: information gathering via OSINT and passive observation without any disruptive actions.
2. Analysis: evaluate collected data, select targets, choose attack vectors and prepare penetration strategies.
3. Exploitation: attempt to compromise and gain control over selected targets, disrupt vulnerable services.
4. Reporting: document every step taken with detailed explanations and screenshots.
5. Remediation: provide instructions on fixing found vulnerabilities, assist on every step of their implementation.
6. Verification: check every previously detected vulnerability for implemented patches.

Compromised web applications by malicious parties can result in, but not limited to:

1. Stolen private/confidential data.
2. Malware infection and further spreading to connected devices (users/employees) or participating in other illicit activities.
3. Deletion/corruption/encryption of critical data with a ransom demand.
4. Denial-of-Service.
5. Increased hosting fees, or degraded performance due to installed crypto-miners or other resource-intensive malware.

These and many other post-exploitation scenarios can not only stop your business activities, cost a lot of money to recover from, but also decrease your customers' trust and potentially reduce search engine ranking score due to reduced domain authority or even blacklisting.

Performing penetration testing at least every year should be part of your security strategy, that will prove cost-effective in the long run.

Wireless network penetration testing involves identifying and trying to gain access to internal network via weak WiFi security, examining the connections between all devices connected to the business’s network. These devices include workstations, laptops, tablets, smartphones, webcams, and other internet of things (IoT) devices.

Wireless penetration tests are usually performed on the client’s site, as the pentester needs to be in physical range of the wireless signal to audit it.

It is comprised of several main phases:

0. Pre-Engagement: define client goals, legal documents preparation and NDA signing.
1. Reconnaissance: information gathering of available wireless networks and their security.
2. Analysis: evaluate collected data, select target access points, choose attack vectors and prepare penetration strategies.
3. Exploitation: attempt to gain access to wireless network, degrade/disrupt performance.
4. Reporting: document every step taken with detailed explanations and screenshots.
5. Remediation: provide instructions on fixing found vulnerabilities, assist on every step of their implementation.
6. Verification: check every previously detected vulnerability for implemented patches.

Compromised wireless networks by malicious parties can result in captured/phished credentials giving attackers access to numerous internal and external services, which can lead to but not limited to:

1. Compromise of business infrastructure such as web applications, databases, mail servers, and other critical services.
2. Stolen private/confidential data.
3. Malware infection and further spreading to connected devices (users/employees) or participating in other illicit activities.
4. Deletion/corruption/encryption of critical data with a ransom demand.
5. Disrupted network connectivity.
6. Degraded performance of devices due to installed crypto-miners or other resource-intensive malware.

These and many other post-exploitation scenarios can not only stop your business activities, cost a lot of money to recover from, but also decrease your customers' trust and potentially reduce search engine ranking score due to reduced domain authority or even blacklisting.

Performing penetration testing at least every year should be part of your security strategy, that will prove cost-effective in the long run.

The main focus of internal network security assessment is to identify what potential damage can be done by an attacker who has gained access to your internal network. This can be a hacker who penetrated your company's external defenses, a malicious or former employee, contractor, any other party with internal access.

Internal network security assessment is comprised of several main phases:

0. Pre-Engagement: define client goals, legal documents preparation and NDA signing.
1. Reconnaissance: information gathering of network topology, servers, workstations.
2. Analysis: evaluate collected data, select targets, choose attack vectors and prepare penetration strategies.
3. Exploitation: attempt to gain access to vulnerable systems.
4. Reporting: document every step taken with detailed explanations and screenshots.
5. Remediation: provide instructions on fixing found vulnerabilities, assist on every step of their implementation.
6. Verification: check every previously detected vulnerability for implemented patches.

Compromised internal networks by malicious parties can result in, but not limited to:

1. Compromise of business infrastructure such as web applications, databases, mail servers, and other critical services.
2. Stolen private/confidential data.
3. Malware infection and further spreading to connected devices (users/employees) or participating in other illicit activities.
4. Deletion/corruption/encryption of critical data with a ransom demand.
5. Disrupted network connectivity.
6. Degraded performance of devices due to installed crypto-miners or other resource-intensive malware.

Physical penetration testing simulates a real-world threat scenario where a malicious actor attempts to circumvent physical barriers to gain access to infrastructure, buildings, systems. The goal of a physical penetration test is to detect weak points in corporate overall physical defenses and mitigate them.

Physical penetration testing is comprised of several main phases:

0. Pre-Engagement: define client goals, legal documents preparation and NDA signing.
1. Reconnaissance: map the physical location of defense mechanisms, such as cameras, gates, guards, and many other physical security mechanisms.
2. Analysis: evaluate collected data, choose attack vectors and prepare physical penetration strategies.
3. Exploitation: attempt to enter the building, access server rooms via lock picking or social engineering, intercept EM waves, clone RFID tags, plug backdoors into poorly protected wires/cables, get access to sensitive information and equipment.
4. Reporting: document every step taken with detailed explanations and screenshots.
5. Remediation: provide instructions on fixing found vulnerabilities, assist on every step of their implementation.
6. Verification: check every previously detected weak links in physical security.

Compromised physical defense systems by malicious parties can result in, but not limited to:

1. Stolen funds/property and private/confidential data.
2. Compromise of business infrastructure such as web applications, databases, mail servers, and other critical services.
3. Malware infection and further spreading to connected devices (users/employees) or participating in other illicit activities.

Social engineering focuses on the weakest link in any security system - people. These tests usually include phishing, USB drops, or impersonation. The goal of social engineering is to exploit weaknesses in humans to gain access to information or systems they possess.

Social engineering is comprised of several main phases:

0. Pre-Engagement: define client goals, legal documents preparation and NDA signing.
1. Reconnaissance: information gathering of current, former employees, their contacts and interests, social accounts, and many other personal data.
2. Analysis: evaluate collected data, select targets, choose attack vectors and prepare social engineering strategies.
3. Exploitation: attempt to trick the target into giving out confidential information, open an email attachment, access specifically crafted websites, plug in dropped USB drives, and many other techniques.
4. Reporting: document every step taken with detailed explanations and screenshots.
5. Remediation: provide instructions on how to train your employees to not fall for social engineering attacks.
6. Verification: conduct testing again to determine the result.

Tricked employees via social engineering by malicious parties can result in, but not limited to:

1. Stolen/rerouted payments and private/confidential data.
