What is External Penetration Testing?

External Penetration Testing is a process that involves several stages, including reconnaissance, scanning, and exploitation. During the reconnaissance stage, the tester gathers information about the target and creates a profile. In the scanning stage, the tester uses specialized tools and techniques to identify open ports and services and potential vulnerabilities. During the exploitation stage, the tester attempts to exploit vulnerabilities and evaluate the potential impact. With our external penetration testing, you can be confident that your data and systems are secure. Reach out us to learn more and get a quote today.

Reconnaissance

Gathering Information About the Target

The first stage of external penetration testing is reconnaissance. During this stage, the tester gathers information about the target, such as its IP address range, domain name, and publicly available information. This information is used to create a profile of the target and identify potential vulnerabilities.

Creating a Profile of the Target

The information gathered during the reconnaissance stage is used to create a profile of the target. This profile is used to identify potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker.

Scanning

Identifying Open Ports and Services

In the scanning stage, the tester uses specialized tools and techniques to identify open ports and services running on the target. This information is used to identify potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker.

Identifying Potential Vulnerabilities

The information gathered during the scanning stage is used to identify potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker.

Exploitation

Attempting to Exploit Vulnerabilities

The final stage of external penetration testing is exploitation. During this stage, the tester uses the information gathered during the previous stages to attempt to exploit vulnerabilities and gain access to the target’s systems and data.

Evaluating the Potential Impact

The tester then evaluates the potential impact of the exploitation and provides recommendations for improving security.

Providing Recommendations for Improving Security

The tester provides recommendations for improving security based on the results of the exploitation stage.

Conducting External Penetration Testing

Importance of Working with a Qualified Professional

It’s important to note that external penetration testing should only be conducted by a qualified professional with the appropriate training and expertise. This is because the process of external penetration testing involves attempting to exploit vulnerabilities, which can have serious consequences if not done correctly.

The Risks of Conducting Testing Without Proper Training and Expertise

Conducting external penetration testing without proper training and expertise can result in serious consequences, such as damaging systems and data, disrupting business operations, and exposing sensitive information. It’s essential to work with a qualified professional who has the appropriate training and expertise to minimize these risks.
