Our Methodology

Reconnaissance

The first phase of our Network Penetration Assessment process involves gathering information about the target system or network. We’ll work with you and your team to define the rules of engagement, understand the ecosystem, and map the attack surface. This step is crucial to the success of the engagement.

  • Scoping Call
    • We’ll define project objectives, timeline, and scope (systems, networks, and applications that may be considered in scope)
  • Rules of Engagement (RoE)
    • We’ll define boundaries, limitations, and establish escalation procedures
  • Reconnaissance Execution
    • SecVuln™ will conduct OSINT and passive information gathering to uncover critical details about the target network and inform our approach

Assessment

The second phase of our Network Penetration Assessment involves simulating various attacks on the network, including web application exploits that may uncover weaknesses. Our goal is to determine the extent of the damage possible and provide reports that showcase true impact to our client. Additionally, we measure the duration of maintained access, as prolonged access allows attackers to cause more harm and extract sensitive data. This testing helps identify vulnerabilities and strengthens the network’s defenses.

  • Network Discovery and Mapping
    • Our team will perform reconnaissance techniques designed to identify and catalog all devices, systems, and services within the network, creating a comprehensive map of the network landscape. This involves detecting and enumerating hosts, open ports, protocols, and services, as well as identifying operating systems, device types, and potential vulnerabilities. 
  • Network Service Exploitation
    • Our team will identify and attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in network services to simulate real-world attacks and assess potential impact. We attempt to exploit weaknesses in services like FTP, SSH, SMTP, DNS, and other network infrastructure services. In doing so, we can determine the potential damage an attacker could cause, including unauthorized access to sensitive data, privilege escalation, execution of malicious code, or disruption to services. 
  • Configuration Compliance Checking
    • Our team will verify that the system, network, or application is configured in accordance with a set of predefined security standards, guidelines, or regulations. This may involve checking various settings, parameters, and configurations to ensure they align with industry best practices, organizational policies, or compliance requirements (e.g., HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST).
  • Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
    • Applications that are identified in the network, will be reviewed using our manual DAST approach. We will analyze the application’s security controls by simulating real-world attacks as outlined in the OWASP Top 10 and CWE

Documentation

The final phase of our assessment involves compiling our findings into a comprehensive report, which undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure excellence. Our reports provide a detailed account of observations, remediation steps, and industry-best-practice guidelines, as well as metrics that highlight strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. By acknowledging both vulnerabilities and positive practices, we empower your team to build on their successes and foster a culture of secure coding throughout your organization. Our report serves as a valuable resource, guiding your application security team toward continued growth and excellence.
