Internal & External Network Penetration Testing
This project involved conducting internal and external network penetration testing to evaluate an organization’s exposure to unauthorized access, misconfigurations, and lateral movement.
The engagement followed a structured methodology covering reconnaissance, enumeration, vulnerability identification, controlled exploitation, and post-exploitation analysis. Findings were mapped to real-world attack paths and MITRE ATT&CK techniques to clearly demonstrate risk impact.
Scope & Activities
-
Network discovery and service enumeration
-
Vulnerability identification and validation
-
Credential attack simulation and privilege escalation
-
Lateral movement and pivoting assessment
-
Detection and logging review
Key Findings
-
Exposed services with weak authentication
-
Insecure network configurations enabling lateral movement
-
Outdated services vulnerable to known exploits
Tools Used
Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, Nikto, Wireshark, MITRE ATT&CK
Outcome
The assessment delivered actionable insights with proof-of-concept evidence, CVSS-based risk ratings, and prioritized remediation guidance to reduce attack surface and improve network resilience.
