The Process

Not all businesses use the same networking infrastructure, so why should all penetration tests follow the same guidelines? Here at Hacking-Security.net we believe in creating a personalized security audit based on your networks particular needs. Listed below is the "core" of your typical penetration test.

The Penetration Test Method
Phase one
Tests & Reconnaissance
  • Gather information about networking structure (non intrusive).
  • Analyse infrastructure for potential social engineering.
  • Examination of website.
Phase two
Scans & Analyse
  • Nessus vulnerability scan.
  • Port scan.
  • Basic switchblade drop off (depends on location of test).
  • Other security related scans based on outcomes.
  • Analyse data generated.
  • Create attack plans.
Phase three
Exploitation
  • Carry out any attack plans.
  • Create reports based on results.
  • Repeat phase until no additional data is acquired



Time to complete is estimated at 4-7 days from kickoff date and all results are kept confidential.
