External Penetration Testing
Comprehensive security assessment of externally facing systems and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities accessible from the internet.
Overview
External Penetration Testing
External penetration testing evaluates the security of your organization’s internet-facing assets from an attacker’s perspective. Our comprehensive external testing identifies vulnerabilities in perimeter defenses, public-facing applications, network services, and external infrastructure that could be exploited by remote attackers. We simulate real-world attack scenarios to assess the effectiveness of your external security controls and identify potential entry points into your network.
Methodology
Our external penetration testing follows industry-standard methodologies including NIST, PTES, and OWASP frameworks. We combine automated vulnerability scanning with manual exploitation techniques to identify and validate security weaknesses in externally accessible systems and services.
Benefits
- Identify external vulnerabilities before malicious attackers discover them
- Validate effectiveness of perimeter security controls and defenses
- Assess risk of unauthorized external access to internal systems
- Meet compliance requirements for external security testing
- Improve incident response capabilities through attack simulation
- Build stakeholder confidence through demonstrated security validation
Reconnaissance & Intelligence Gathering
Reconnaissance & Intelligence Gathering involves comprehensive information gathering about your external attack surface including domain enumeration, DNS analysis, network mapping, and public information discovery to understand potential attack vectors.
Vulnerability Identification
Vulnerability Identification encompasses systematic identification of vulnerabilities in external-facing systems using automated scanning tools and manual testing techniques to discover security weaknesses in web applications, network services, and infrastructure components.
Exploitation Testing
Exploitation Testing includes controlled exploitation of identified vulnerabilities to validate their impact and assess the potential for unauthorized access, data exposure, or system compromise from external networks.

Our Approach
External Asset Discovery
We conduct comprehensive discovery of all externally accessible assets including websites, applications, network services, and infrastructure components to establish the complete external attack surface.
Port Scanning & Service Enumeration
We perform systematic port scanning and service enumeration to identify running services, version information, and potential attack vectors on external-facing systems.
Web Application Testing
We conduct thorough security testing of externally accessible web applications including authentication bypasses, input validation flaws, and business logic vulnerabilities.
Network Service Assessment
We evaluate the security of external network services including FTP, SSH, email servers, and other internet-facing services for configuration weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
Email Security Testing
We assess email security infrastructure including SPF, DKIM, DMARC configurations, and email server security to identify spoofing and phishing vulnerabilities.
DNS Security Evaluation
We evaluate DNS infrastructure security including zone transfer vulnerabilities, DNS poisoning potential, and subdomain enumeration risks.
SSL/TLS Configuration Review
We assess SSL/TLS implementations including certificate validation, cipher suite configurations, and protocol security across all external services.
Social Media Intelligence
We gather intelligence from social media and public sources to identify information that could be used in targeted attacks against your organization.
Third-Party Exposure Analysis
We identify potential security exposures through third-party services, cloud platforms, and external integrations that could impact your security posture.
Detailed Reporting
We provide comprehensive reports with vulnerability descriptions, risk assessments, proof-of-concept exploits, and prioritized remediation recommendations.
