Network Penetration Testing

Identify perimeter vulnerabilities, firewall bypasses, weak VPNs, Active Directory domain compromises, and lateral movement vectors across internal & external networks.

Internal & External

Active Directory & Perimeter Scope

NIST & PTES Aligned

Full Infrastructure Assessment Scope

Zero Outage

Safe & Non-Destructive Testing

CORE ADVANTAGES

Why Enterprises Trust Vaeto Network Pentesting

Automated vulnerability scanners produce false positives. Our OSCP certified ethical hackers simulate real adversary lateral movement.

External Perimeter Defense

Probing internet-facing firewalls, routers, VPN portals, exposed SSH/RDP services, and DNS configurations.

Active Directory Security

BloodHound attack path modeling, Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, and Domain Admin escalation path discovery.

Internal Lateral Movement

Evaluating VLAN segmentation controls, LLMNR poisoning, default router credentials, and unencrypted traffic streams.

30-Day Re-Testing SLA

Deploy infrastructure patches with confidence. We re-test all remediated network vulnerabilities at zero extra charge.

NETWORK AUDIT SCOPE

Network Infrastructure Vulnerability Matrix

Comprehensive assessment covering perimeter, internal, and Active Directory attack vectors.

NET-01CRITICAL

Exposed Remote Access Services (RDP, SSH, VNC)

Exposed administrative protocols vulnerable to brute-force, password spraying, or zero-day exploits.

NET-02CRITICAL

Active Directory Misconfigurations & Kerberoasting

Flawed SPN service account permissions, Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, and BloodHound path escalation.

NET-03HIGH

Unpatched Infrastructure CVEs & Legacy OS

Perimeter firewalls, routers, switches, and servers running unpatched firmware or EOL operating systems.

NET-04HIGH

Weak Enterprise VPN & MFA Bypasses

Legacy SSL-VPN portals, weak IPsec IKE ciphers, or missing Multi-Factor Authentication on remote portals.

NET-05HIGH

Network Segmentation & VLAN Traversal

Flat network topologies allowing unauthorized lateral movement between guest, staging, and production subnets.

NET-06MEDIUM

Outdated Cryptographic Protocols (TLS 1.0/1.1)

Insecure SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocols, weak SSH algorithms, and unencrypted Telnet/FTP cleartext traffic.

NET-07HIGH

LLMNR, NBT-NS & mDNS Credential Poisoning

Broadcasting protocols enabled on Windows networks allowing attackers to capture NTLMv2 password hashes.

NET-08MEDIUM

Firewall Rule Bypasses & Egress Filtering

Overly permissive firewall egress rules allowing compromised hosts to establish C2 reverse shells.

NET-09HIGH

Default Router & Switch Administrative Credentials

Network hardware, IPMI interfaces, and managed switches utilizing factory default admin credentials.

NET-10MEDIUM

Rogue Wireless Networks & Guest SSID Leaks

Misconfigured enterprise Wi-Fi (WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise) exposing internal corporate network bridges.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Network Pentesting FAQ

What is the difference between Internal and External Network Pentesting?

External pentesting evaluates your perimeter defenses (firewalls, routers, VPNs, public IP ranges) from the perspective of an internet hacker. Internal pentesting simulates an attacker who has already breached the perimeter or an insider threat operating within your corporate network.

Will network penetration testing cause network slowdowns or outage?

Do you audit Active Directory during internal network pentesting?

What compliance mandates require Network Penetration Testing?
