Network Penetration Testing
A comprehensive, in-depth test to confirm security integrity within your organisation.
Network Penetration Testing
Risk Crew’s Network Penetration Testing simulates real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities and validate defences across your ICT systems. Every test is guided by clearly defined objectives and bespoke methodologies.
Specific information and communication technology (ICT) requires specific testing objectives methodologies and tools. Risk Crew provides network penetration testing services for:
- Local area network (LAN)
- Wide area network (WAN)
- Wireless
- Payment Card Industry (PCI) payment card
- Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA)
- Critical National Infrastructure (CNI)
- Internet of Things (IoT)
Phases of a Network Penetration Test
Network penetration testing from our team is comprised of seven key phases:
Confirming test scope, network design and configuration details, specific testing goals and objectives, compliance requirements, testing times, points of contact and rules of engagement.
Identifying all publicly available information and all points of access to the target network.
Identifying all devices associated with the target network and associated hardware, operating systems and software security vulnerabilities associated with these devices.
Manually exploiting the identified vulnerabilities to gain access to the devices. Expanding and escalating access privileges if obtained.
Determining the impact on target assets. Validating vulnerability risk ratings against business impact and removing scripts, accounts or files implemented during testing.
Detailing findings and remedial recommendations from our network penetration test.
Verifying vulnerabilities identified during testing have been appropriately remediated.
| Our Network Penetration Testing service assesses the effectiveness of the security controls and configurations deployed on your business systems to prevent unauthorised access. The Risk Crew Network Security Penetration Service will confirm the robustness of your current: |

FAQs
White-box security penetration testing is an approach wherein testers possess full-knowledge of the target systems design, configuration and functionality, often understood as a “developer’s perspective” of the target systems.
Black box security penetration testing is an approach wherein testers possess zero-knowledge of the target systems design, configuration and functionality, often understood as a “hacker’s perspective” of the target systems.
Grey box security penetration testing is an approach wherein testers possess limited-knowledge of the target systems design, configuration and functionality, often understood as a “users’ perspective” of the target systems.
A denial of service (DoS) is an attack wherein the attackers attempt to prevent legitimate users from accessing the system or service. In a DoS attack, for example, the attacker sends an extreme number of messages flooding the target with authentication requests from invalid return addresses causing a shutdown.
A DoS attack is unlike a DDoS attack. In a DoS, an attacker uses one computer (and an Internet connection) to flood a targeted system or service with false authentication requests. In a DDoS, an attacker uses multiple computers (and Internet connections) to flood the targeted system of service making it harder to identify the source and shut down the flooding attack.
When preparing for a new penetration test, ensure that all reported vulnerabilities in previous tests, such as missing patches, are fixed to reduce vulnerabilities found during the test. You should also activate processes that are stated in incident response handling policies. The test can help you identify weaknesses in these policies and can help to improve them.
