Phase 2: Vulnerability Identification
- Service Fingerprinting: Reviewing exposed services for misconfigurations, weak authentication, and default settings.
- SSL/TLS Configuration Testing: Ensuring encryption protocols meet modern standards and identifying deprecated protocols or weak ciphers.
- Injection Testing: Testing input fields for vulnerabilities like SQL injection, command injection, and XML External Entity (XXE) flaws.
Phase 3: Exploitation Attempts
- Authentication Bypass Testing: Testing for flaws like default credentials, weak session cookies, and logic issues in login portals.
- Injection Attacks: Crafting payloads to identify vulnerabilities in input fields and application interfaces.
- Misconfiguration Exploitation: Identifying exploitable weaknesses in outdated or misconfigured services, including directory traversal and file inclusion vulnerabilities.
- Mail Filtering Bypass Testing: Analyzing email routing and filtering configurations to identify potential bypass mechanisms.
Phase 4: Post-Exploitation Validation
- Privilege Escalation Testing: Simulating chained vulnerabilities to assess how attackers could elevate access within your network.
- Internal Discovery Simulation: Mapping the network for lateral movement opportunities following successful exploitation.
- Data Sensitivity Validation: Assessing exposed repositories for sensitive information, including credentials and configuration files.
Our network penetration testing services are tailored to provide a clear understanding of your security posture and deliver actionable recommendations to protect your critical assets from evolving cyber threats.

Wireless Penetration Testing
Our wireless penetration testing services assess the security of your wireless infrastructure by emulating advanced attack tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by sophisticated threat actors. By simulating real-world scenarios, we evaluate the robustness of encryption protocols, authentication mechanisms, and network segmentation to identify misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
Phase 1: Reconnaissance
- Network Scanning: Enumerating wireless networks to capture details like SSIDs, BSSIDs, encryption types, and signal strengths.
- Channel Identification: Determining operating channels for optimal targeting during testing.
- Reconnaissance Artifacts: Documenting detected networks and access points for detailed analysis and testing.
Phase 2: Active Exploitation Attempts
- Handshake Captures: Performing deauthentication attacks to force reauthentication and capture WPA2 handshake packets for offline password-cracking attempts.
- WPS Vulnerability Testing: Checking for weaknesses in Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), such as weak PINs or outdated implementations.
- 802.1X Misconfiguration Testing: Analyzing WPA2-Enterprise networks for improperly configured EAP methods or lack of certificate validation.
- Authentication Spoofing: Testing bypasses for 802.1X authentication by spoofing MAC addresses and using fake credentials.
Phase 3: Offline Analysis
- Password Cracking: Using captured WPA2 handshakes to attempt brute-force password cracking and evaluate the strength of password policies.
Our wireless penetration testing services provide a thorough assessment of your wireless networks' security posture, helping you identify and mitigate vulnerabilities to ensure secure and reliable connectivity in your organization.

Red Teaming
Our red team emulates advanced threat actors to test your organization’s detection, response, and resilience across people, processes, and technology.
Unlike penetration testing, these engagements use stealthy, multi-stage attacks that emulate real-world adversaries, such as APTs and ransomware groups, to uncover gaps in detection, escalation, and containment.
The result is actionable insight that strengthens security controls, sharpens SOC readiness, and prepares teams for high-pressure scenarios.
Phase 1: Reconnaissance & Target Selection
- Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT): Gathering intelligence on employees, vendors,technologies, and infrastructure.
- Social & Infrastructure Targeting: Identifying personnel or technology that may beused for initial access.
- Infrastructure Staging: Preparing C2 servers, phishing domains, and payload delivery vectors.
Phase 2: Initial Access
- Social Engineering: Launching highly targeted spear phishing, vishing attacks, and other social engineering to gain credentials or access.
- Web & Application Exploits: Targeting exposed applications, misconfigurations, or known vulnerabilities.
- Credential Testing: We can attempt password stuffing, brute force, and exploiting application secrets
Phase 3: Post-Access Operations
- Observation: Monitoring internal communications, system and user behavior to gatherintelligence and identify opportunities for lateral movement, privilege escalation, datatheft, or business disruption—without detection.
- Lateral Movement & Privilege Escalation: Navigating through the network, escalatingprivileges, and pivoting between systems to identify and access critical assets.
- Persistence Techniques: Establishing a long-term foothold with backdoors withouttriggering detection.
- Evasion Tactics: Avoiding detection by disabling detection and logging mechanisms,mimicking normal behavior, and using legitimate IT administration tools.
Phase 4: Action and Objective
- Objective Completion: Simulating data exfiltration, ransomware deployment, orbusiness disruption.
- Detection & Response Assessment: Measuring how quickly and effectively defendersidentify and contain the attack.

Your Questions, Answered
Penetration testing is most effective when both automated and manual penetration testing techniques are used. This is why many security frameworks and compliance standards require both automated and manual testing.
Automated penetration testing uses software tools to scan systems for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and other common vulnerabilities. It's faster, more cost-effective, and ideal for identifying widespread or well-documented issues across a large environment. However, automated tools may produce false positives and often lack the nuance and contextual understand, especially with business logic vulnerabilities.
Manual penetration testing, on the other hand, is conducted by skilled security professionals who use real-world techniques. It’s more thorough, adaptive, and capable of uncovering subtle or context-specific flaws that automation often misses such as privilege escalation, chained exploits, and social engineering.
The best type of penetration testing, white box, black box, or gray box depends on your specific goals, threat model, and the specifics of your cybersecurity program. Each approach offers unique strengths and limitations.
White box testing provides full internal access and is ideal for uncovering complex vulnerabilities, but it’s less realistic as it assumes the attacker already knows everything.
Black box testing mimics an external attacker with no inside knowledge, making it great for assessing perimeter defenses, though it may miss deeper flaws.
Gray box testing is a hybrid of black box and white box; offering a balance, with partial access like a typical user, which can allow for more thorough testing.
For most organizations, a gray box delivers the best combination of coverage, efficiency, and real-world relevance.
Prior to any testing activities, we coordinate closely with internal security and IT stakeholders to ensure alignment and minimize any operational risk. This includes regular communication to keep stakeholders informed of testing schedules and activities, helping to prevent false alarms or unnecessary escalations triggered by our simulated attacks.
When appropriate, we perform testing during off-peak hours to reduce potential impact on users or systems. We can also exclude particularly sensitive systems or avoid high-risk techniques such as "brute force" that may trigger lockouts. Our goal is to conduct thorough and realistic testing without causing downtime or disruption to your business operations.
