External Penetration Testing

What is an External Penetration Test?

This test focuses on

* server penetration testing
* router penetration testing
* firewall penetration testing
* operating system installation and maintenance.

The penetration test may be performed with non or full disclosure of the environment in question.
The engagement would start with publicly accessible information about the client, followed by network enumeration.
Network enumeration allows Pure Hacking to target hosts, and specific network security attacks. Pure Hacking would then assess the open ports, services and specific security vulnerabilities, and use that information to gain a toehold into the environment. After a toehold is established, escalation of privilege occurs until the external environment is controlled.

What do you get at the end of the engagement?
