Penetration Testing (Pen Testing)
This is the core service provided by Cyber-Hack Solutions. Simulating real-world cyberattacks allows Cyber-Hack Solutions to identify weaknesses and security gaps in a controlled manner. Exploiting vulnerabilities helps assess how well an organization's defenses can withstand actual threats.
Attack Styles and Methods:
Bellow are descriptions of the different pen test methods we conduct as well as pen test types:
Method:
-
In white box testing, Cyber-Hack Solutions has full knowledge of the internal workings, architecture, and network of the target system. This means having access to detailed information about the system's design, implementation, and infrastructure. With this knowledge, potential vulnerabilities can be identified more accurately and thoroughly.
White box testing simulates an attack from an insider or a malicious user with detailed knowledge of the system. This type of testing is useful for identifying vulnerabilities that might not be easily discovered using other testing methods.
-
Black box penetration testing involves no prior knowledge of the target system. The approach is that of external attackers, without access to internal details of the network. The goal is to find vulnerabilities through external analysis, such as scanning for open ports, spotting network weaknesses, and exploiting vulnerabilities.
This method mirrors real-world attacks, offering insights into remote attacker strategies.
-
Grey box testing blends white box and black box testing methods. Cyber-Hack Solutions holds partial knowledge of the system, such as architecture or limited network access. This approach balances the depth of the white box method while incorporating black box techniques.
Cyber-Hack Solutions pinpoint areas of concern both inside and outside the network to simulate external and internal attacks effectively.
Types:
-
Cyber-Hack Solutions will visit your location and attempt to breach physical security barriers, network systems, or personnel to identify weaknesses in security.
-
This involves assessing the security of an organization's network infrastructure such as routers, switches, and Wi-Fi, to identify any weaknesses that could lead to unauthorized access or data interception. Cyber-Hack Solutions aim to discover potential entry points for attackers and assess the effectiveness of network security controls.
-
Cyber-Hack Solutions focuses on evaluating the security of web applications like websites, online portals, and web-based services. The goal is to find vulnerabilities in the application's code, configurations, and authentication mechanisms.
Note: A penetration test will include a thorough report containing all findings discovered during the testing process.
