Description

What is it?


IP Penetration Testing, or Network Penetration Testing, is a proactive security assessment where ethical hackers (penetration testers) attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in your organization's public-facing IP addresses and the systems/services behind them. It goes beyond automated vulnerability scans by simulating real-world attacks to identify weaknesses that automated tools might miss.

Technical Data

How to do it?
Scoping & Planning Define the scope of the test (which IP addresses, systems, and attack vectors), establish rules of engagement (what's allowed, communication channels), and obtain necessary authorization.
Reconnaissance Gather information about the target systems, including open ports, services, software versions, and potential vulnerabilities using tools like Nmap, Shodan, and public information sources.
 
Scanning Conduct deeper scans using vulnerability scanners (Nessus, Qualys, OpenVAS) and specialized tools to identify specific weaknesses.
Exploitation Attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, or execute malicious code. This often involves manual techniques and custom exploits.  
Post-Exploitation If successful, explore the compromised system to assess the extent of the breach, identify sensitive data, and pivot to other systems.  
Reporting Document the findings, including vulnerabilities discovered, exploitation steps, impact analysis, and detailed recommendations for remediation.  
Software Used
Vulnerability Scanners Nessus, Qualys, OpenVAS, Nikto, Acunetix, etc.  
Exploitation Frameworks Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, Core Impact, etc.  
Network Analysis Tools Wireshark, tcpdump, Nmap, etc.  
Password Cracking Tools Hashcat, John the Ripper, etc.  
Custom Scripts & Tools Developed by penetration testers to address specific scenarios.  
Standards for Testing
NIST SP 800-115 Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment  
OSSTMM (Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual) A comprehensive methodology for security testing.  
PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard) A widely adopted standard defining penetration testing phases and activities.
OWASP Testing Guide Focuses on web application penetration testing.
Industry-Specific Standards PCI DSS for payment card data, HIPAA for healthcare, etc.
Key Points
Realistic Attacks Pen testing simulates real-world attacks, going beyond simple vulnerability scans to assess the actual impact of a breach.  
Human Expertise Skilled penetration testers use their knowledge and experience to uncover vulnerabilities that automated tools might miss.  
Prioritization Pen tests help prioritize remediation efforts by identifying the most critical vulnerabilities.  
Continuous Improvement Regular pen testing helps organizations stay ahead of evolving threats and maintain a strong security posture.
