External Penetration Testing
Angel Force, we rely on our expertise in cyber security to carry out and handle every aspect of testing external penetration to our client. We employ a method that is simple and clear to determine and mitigate the risk of any external attack. We are experts of the field of External Penetration Testing.
Manual Infrastructure Testing
Many companies have multiple connections that provide services such as email, webmail and web servers. They are all possible target for attack. Be aware that these businesses are always under attack is essential.
Security experts are constantly looking vulnerabilities on the web.
If they find targets that are vulnerable , they can then attack them and be able to penetrate the network.
It is essential that companies are aware of the risks that could be posed and must minimize and manage them by conducting tests of penetration from outside.
In the event that the penetration tester displays an approach with multi-dimensionality, and is knowledgeable about the technological capabilities of the application and the website’s as well as business aspect, manual infrastructure testing could provide the greatest efficiency.
External Penetration Testing
Tests for penetration outside of the premises are typically carried out using a Black Box methodology. This means that penetration testers do not have access to any sensitive data such as usernames, password , the design and execution of an infrastructure, the source code, and etc. This could be a copy or an attempt to increase the imagination of a cybercriminal of a cyberattack if they locate DNS addresses or IP addresses.
After an in-depth examination of each IP address, as well as the identification of the services Our skilled testers connect to every service to look for any weaknesses which might be there.
A great example would be discovering the existence of the existence of an FTP server, where the tester tries various username and password combinations using restricted-brute force with common values that are linked to the account name of the user. Should a web application be discovered, the tester will then carry out a small-unauthenticated Web Application Test to identify common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection or Cross-site Scripting.
