Pentesting & Ethical Hacking Objectives

Penetration testing or pentesting is an offensive security test that simulates a real cyber attack in a controlled environment. The objective is to identify weaknesses that could be exploited by an attacker and thus complete threats such as information theft, improper access, causing service outages, installing malware, etc. Pentesting is the discipline that covers this type of exercise. The cybersecurity team is in charge of executing advanced intrusion tests according to the agreed parameters, scope, objectives, modality, and depth required. At the end of the pentesting service, we will have a report that will include the vulnerabilities identified and prioritized according to their impact and complexity of remediation, as well as detailed recommendations to help mitigate the risks detected.

Pentesting Types

Black Box

In this approach, the pentesting team starts with no prior knowledge of the client’s infrastructure. There is no information about assets or users, simulating a real external attack.

Grey Box

This modality provides complete access to detailed information about the client’s infrastructure, including technologies, source code, user accounts, network maps, architecture, and more. This allows for a thorough evaluation.

White Box

The pentesting team has partial access to information about the target, such as legitimate user accounts, specific technologies, IP inventory, domains, or other data. This simulates an attacker with limited insider access.

Reconnaissance

The initial phase focuses on gathering as much information as possible using various techniques.

Identification

 This stage involves analyzing the collected data to discover potential weaknesses.

Exploitation

Identified vulnerabilities are tested to determine if they can be exploited, potentially granting access to systems that can then be used for post-exploitation objectives.

Post-Exploitation

Specific objectives are defined in this phase, such as persistence, lateral movement, or data exfiltration.

Pentest Reporting

 The final step provides a detailed report outlining the penetration test process, scope, discovered vulnerabilities, evidence, and security recommendations for remediation teams.

Pentesting Methodology

The penetration test is conducted strictly in accordance with a pre-established agreement and defined scope. This ensures that all activities are authorized, targeted, and aligned with the client's objectives, while adhering to ethical and legal standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Penetration Testing Services?

What Are Penetration Testing Services?

Penetration testing services are technical security assessments that analyze one or more assets, either from outside a company or within its internal network. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited to achieve predefined objectives, such as:
  • Assessing the robustness of security measures or controls implemented within a corporate network.
  • Identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities to evaluate overall security.
  • Testing the potential for privilege escalation due to security architecture flaws or insufficient implementation of security measures in applications and systems.
  • Compromising a system for post-exploitation exercises (e.g., persistence, lateral movement, erasing traces, etc.).

Pentesters work within a defined scope and a set timeframe to conduct tests and prepare a final report. The outcome of a penetration test is a technical report containing evidence and security recommendations to mitigate and remediate the identified threats and vulnerabilities.

How much a pentest Cost?

How much a pentest cost?

The cost of a penetration test varies and is calculated based on factors such as the objective, the volume of assets to analyze, the complexity of the process, the required approach, and whether it will be conducted as a white-box or black-box test. An indicative price range might vary from €4,500 for a test limited to a smaller number of assets to €30,000 for tests with much broader objectives. The pricing may also be affected by whether the work is performed as a one-time engagement or as part of a continuous service.

Additional specific features and requirements may necessitate a preliminary assessment in collaboration with the client to better define the scope and objectives of the work. We encourage you to contact us so that our specialists can advise you on the best approach to achieve your goals effectively.
