Overview : Network Penetration Testing
A network vulnerability assessment and penetration test, or network VAPT, is a technical security assessment that goes beyond the usual port scanning and vulnerability enumeration to pinpoint security risks and their business ramifications on your network, whether it be wireless, internal, or external Network Security testing is a crucial procedure that helps identify security flaws, network weaknesses, and threats that could damage any organization’s networks, website servers, and other applications if they are attacked by hackers. It’s a crucial step in determining how secure your network is by simulating attacks to gain unauthorized access to the target network thereby assessing the current state network penetration testing.
Methodology
Black Box, often referred to as behavioral testing or external testing, is a form of software testing technique wherein no prior knowledge of the internal code structure, implementation specifics, or internal routes of an application is necessary. It focuses on the application's input and output and is entirely dependent on the specifications and requirements for the software.
Gray box testing, which combines black box and white box testing, is a software testing approach used to test an application while only having a general understanding of its core code. It searches for and identifies context-specific faults that the application's poor code structure has produced.
White Box testing examines a software's underlying structure, coding, and architecture in order to validate the input-output flow and improve the application's design, security, and utility. Internal testing, Clear box testing, Open box testing, and Glass box testing are other names for this sort of testing because the testers can see the code.

Our Approach
Define Scope
The client’s scope must be clearly defined before an application assessment can be conducted. At this point, open dialogue between the company and the client is recommended in order to build a secure platform upon which to conduct assessments.
Information Gathering
At this step, a variety of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tools is used and tactics to gather as much data as they can on the target. The gathered data will help us comprehend how the relationship functions, which will enable us to precisely assess the risk as the engagement develops.
Identifying and Inspect
At this point, we combine computerized resources and tools with various data collection methods to create more advanced data. Any potential attack vectors are carefully examined by our experts. In the following step, the acquired data from this stage will serve as the foundation for its application.
Attack and Penetration
To uncover all potential attack paths and vulnerabilities, we launch both a manual and an automated security scan in this step. In order to assess the application’s security, we then execute exploits against it. For a high degree of penetration, we employ several techniques, open-source scripts, and internal tools. To secure your application and its data, all of these are carefully carried out.

FAQs
- The network security test should be carried out at least once a year or whenever one of the following situations arises:
- The addition of, or a material modification to, infrastructure or applications.
- End-user access policies being changed (permissions or roles).
During a pen test, an outsider or hacker is made to pretend they are getting access to the system of the organization. A subset of pen test procedures called a vulnerability scan is used to evaluate a network and connected systems for a predetermined list of known vulnerabilities. While vulnerability scans focus on the system flaws already present, a pen test will simulate a ‘live’ threat or assault.
Network VAPT is performed in accordance with NIST SP800-115, PTES, and CIS Benchmarks requirements.
In addition to routine VAPT, it’s advisable to do a configuration audit and device-level security analysis in accordance with the OEM’s suggested security policies and procedures.
