Our Penetration Testing Methodology
01.
Whitebox Testing (Clear-box Testing)
In whitebox testing, security testers have complete knowledge of the system being tested. This includes details like network diagrams, source code, and access to internal systems. This comprehensive understanding allows for a more in-depth and systematic security assessment of the system's internal structure.
- Comprehensive coverage of all components.
- Ability to identify deep vulnerabilities in source code and internal systems.
- Enables testing for design flaws, misconfigurations, and coding errors that would be difficult to detect in other testing approaches.
Ideal for conducting thorough internal audits of systems, applications, and networks where the organization is aware of potential security concerns.
02.
Blackbox Testing (Closed-box Testing)
Blackbox testing mimics a real-world cyber attack by simulating an external attacker with no prior knowledge of the system. Testers who operate in this mode use publicly accessible information like websites, domain names, and IP addresses. This approach helps evaluate the system's defences from an outsider's perspective, reflecting how an attacker might attempt to breach it without any inside information.
- Simulates a real-world attack scenario where the attacker has limited or no information about the system.
- Provides insights into how well your security measures can prevent unauthorized access and attacks from the outside.
- Helps identify vulnerabilities such as open ports, web application flaws, and other exposed entry points.
Perfect for organizations looking to understand how well their defenses hold up against external threats, such as hackers or cybercriminals attempting to exploit internet-facing systems.
03.
Greybox Testing (Semi-closed Testing)
Greybox testing mixes the approach of both blackbox and whitebox testing. Testers using this method will have some, but not complete, knowledge of the internal system or application. They might be given user-level credentials or details about the system's architecture but don't get full access. This approach helps uncover vulnerabilities that could be exploited from both outside and inside the system.
- Provides a balanced approach, combining elements of both Blackbox and Whitebox testing.
- Allows the tester to simulate an insider threat or an attacker with some knowledge, such as an employee or contractor with limited access.
- Helps identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited both by external attackers and internal users with limited privileges.
Best for situations where an organization wants to test how an attacker with partial access to the system (e.g., a compromised user account or administrative access) might exploit vulnerabilities to escalate privileges or perform unauthorized actions.
Types of Penetration Testing
Web Application Penetration Testing
Also known as “Website Pentesting”, this test targets web applications and websites to uncover vulnerabilities.
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
This test is used to assess the security of mobile apps on platforms like iOS and Android.
Network Penetration Testing
This test focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in network infrastructure such as firewalls, routers, and servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Penetration testing, often called pen testing, is a simulated cyberattack performed on a computer system or network to check for vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. This works by having cybersecurity professionals try to break into your systems to find weaknesses before a real threat does, taking a proactive approach to cybersecurity. Penetration tests can target various aspects of a system, including:
- Network infrastructure: Routers, firewalls, servers, etc.
- Web applications: Websites and web-based software.
- Mobile applications: Apps for smartphones and tablets.
- Wireless networks: Wi-Fi security.
- Social engineering: Tricking employees into revealing sensitive information.
The goal of a pen test is to identify security weaknesses, prioritize them based on risk, and provide recommendations to rectify them.
In today's digital landscape, virtually almost every organization relies on technology, and that technology has vulnerabilities. Penetration testing is crucial for:
- Identifying vulnerabilities: Finding those vulnerabilities before a real attacker does.
- Assessing security posture: Understanding how secure your systems are.
- Protecting data: Prevent data breaches, which can cause significant financial and reputational damage.
- Improving security awareness: Pen tests can highlight vulnerabilities that employees might inadvertently create.
The frequency of penetration testing depends on several factors such as the size and complexity of your organization, the industry you operate in, and the sensitivity of the data you handle. The general guidelines however suggest the minimum recommended frequency for most organizations at once a year.
Vulnerability assessment involves using automated tools to scan for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated software while penetration testing simulates real-world cyber attacks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in order to know the impact.
You will receive a comprehensive report describing the identified vulnerabilities, their severity level, the potential impact, and our recommendations to handle them. The report will be clear and concise for actionable results.
The duration will highly depend on the scope and complexity of the test. We will provide you with an estimated timeline before we start the testing.
We take extra precautions to minimize any form of disruption to your business operations. It is also possible to schedule the pen test to be performed during off-peak hours. We will further discuss your concern before we start the test.
