Internal penetration testing

What happens once the attacker is already inside.

Simulates an attack from inside the corporate network: a compromised laptop, a malicious employee or an unmanaged device. We assess servers, workstations, network devices, Active Directory and permissions, plus segmentation and privilege control, to minimise the risk of lateral movement. Delivered entirely remotely, with our probe or a machine provided by the organisation.

What's included and what you receive at the end.

An engagement with a scope, a schedule and a final report, designed to answer a specific question. Everything in the report has been discussed beforehand: the final document confirms, it does not reveal.

What's included

  • Enumeration of the internal network and Active Directory
  • Privilege escalation and controlled lateral movement
  • Review of segmentation and access control policies
  • Analysis of workstations, servers and network devices
  • Recommendations to strengthen internal security

How we work

The same method on every project, so results are comparable with each other and over time. Every finding is scored with CVSS and put in context according to the affected asset, how easy it is to exploit and the real impact on the business.

Phase 1

Scope and rules of engagement

Objectives, assets, time windows, emergency contacts and formal written authorisation.

Phase 2

Reconnaissance

We map the attack surface and inventory the assets, both known and discovered.

Phase 3

Analysis and controlled exploitation

We validate every finding manually, with no denial of service and no unnecessary data extraction.

Phase 4

Report and presentation

An executive report for management and a technical report for the team, with a prioritised remediation plan.

Phase 5

Retest and follow-up

We verify the fixes and update the status of every finding in DARKFORGE.
