Internal Network Penetration Test

Internal network penetration testing of your infrastructure identifies vulnerabilities that may be exploited by a malicious insider or malware from inside your network perimeter.
Malicious employees, opportunist-hackers, social engineers and malware can all pose a significant threat to your organisation if they have been able to gain a foothold on your internal network infrastructure. If a malicious user has gained physical access to the internal network of your organisation, the impact can be devastating and can often be the precursor to a large-scale security breach.
An Internal Network Penetration Test (also known as a pen test) of your internal infrastructure provides you with a full and complete understanding of the vulnerabilities that are present, which may be exploited by a malicious user or malware from inside your organisations network boundary.
Our experienced & CREST accredited penetration testers are skilled in identifying the types of vulnerabilities that may be exploited by a malicious user who had managed to gain unauthenticated network-level access to your environment. Our team look for vulnerabilities across all of your workstations and servers to identify if it is possible to exfiltrate sensitive information, steal passwords or pivot an attack into your Active Directory Domain or cloud infrastructure.
What types of vulnerabilities can an Internal Network Penetration Test identify?
Conducting a targeted penetration test of your internal network provides you with a clear snapshot of the vulnerabilities that are present. Some common vulnerabilities that we regularly find during penetration tests include:
- Missing security updates & patches
- Badly configured services
- Default or weak passwords
- Poorly-applied security policies
- Unsupported Operating Systems
- Unencrypted network traffic
- Weak encryption algorithms
- Overly-permissive firewall rules
Testing Process & Methodology
Using a combination of automated and targeted manual testing, our consultants will inspect your internal network infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a malicious user.
Where possible, we will conduct the testing remotely using one of our STORM appliances, which will be shipped to you in advance of the agreed test dates. Where remote testing is not possible, our consultant(s) will visit your organisation so that the penetration test can be conducted in your office.
Usually, the ultimate goal of an attacker is to obtain Domain Administrator rights on the corporate Windows Domain. During our assessment, we use the latest techniques and attack vectors that an attacker is likely to use in identifying vulnerabilities, before exploiting vulnerable services which could allow for a full Domain compromise.
We validate all identified vulnerabilities to reduce the likelihood of “false positives” and to investigate the level of access that could be achieved if the vulnerability were to be exploited by a malicious user.
All penetration testing that we conduct is carried out in line with globally-recognised standards, such as the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM). In addition to this, as a member of the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST), we conduct our testing and consultancy to the highest, industry-recognised standards and ethics.
Preparing for your Internal Network Pen Test
- A signed & completed Testing Consent Form (TCF)
- Wired network connection
