Penetration Testing (Pentesting) simulates cyberattacks to identify and address vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure, helping businesses strengthen their defenses against potential threats.

External Network Assessment
Your perimeter network is attacked every day, and even minor external vulnerabilities can be damaging. External network penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities on infrastructure devices and servers accessible from the internet.
External penetration testing assesses the security posture of the routers, firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and other security appliances which filter malicious traffic from the internet.
Internal Network Assessment
Core engineers approach the local area network as an attacker on the inside. First, we look for privileged company information and other sensitive assets. This involves incorporating various tools, uncovering user credentials, and attempting to compromise both virtual and physical machines present in the network environment.
The benefit of this engagement is in ensuring a breach of your external network will not result in a violation of your assets.
Wireless Network Pen-testing
Wireless (WiFi) networks may be susceptible to attacks of all kinds, depending on the wireless clients, access points, and wireless configurations. New exploitation against WiFi networks is being developed every day, such as the recent KRACK vulnerability, which allowed malicious actors to break the encryption protocol between most routers and connected devices.
WiFi is a hotly pursued target, as a compromise of the wireless network is generally the fastest means to the internal network. Poor configuration and weak protections could leave your internal information exposed to anyone in range with a laptop or smartphone. As such, Core tests the scope of the target network and its exposure to potential attacks. Our testers test for ‘Wireless Bleeding,’ where we identify the distance a potential attacker can pick up your wireless signal.
Our Network Pen-test Methodology
Core Labs excels at operating under a structured, repeatable methodology. We stress this concept in every engagement to ensure our findings are reliable, reproducible, and of excellent quality. As such, our vulnerability assessments can always be verified by your team, both before and after remediation. To get these results, we adhere to the following steps:
Network Scope
Effective communication with the client organization is emphasized here to create an operating environment comfortable for both parties. During this phase, we accomplish all of the following: Outline which assets of the organization are open to being scanned and tested. Discuss exclusions from the assessment, such as specific IP addresses or services.
Information Gathering
Core Labs’ pen-tester collects as much information as possible on the target, employing many OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tools and techniques. The gathered data help us understand the organization's operating conditions, which allows us to assess risk accurately as the engagement progresses.
