External Testing
We evaluate internet-facing systems and services from an attacker’s perspective to determine whether exposed assets can be used to gain unauthorized access or establish a foothold in your environment.
A penetration test should do more than identify possible vulnerabilities. It should show you which weaknesses can be exploited, how they can be chained together, and what an attacker could reach if those weaknesses were used against your environment.
KobReySec performs hands-on penetration testing across external networks, internal environments, web applications, and wireless infrastructure. We validate findings, follow attack paths, test the effectiveness of your defenses, and focus on the issues that create meaningful risk.
Vulnerability scanners are useful tools, but scanner output is not a penetration test. The difference is what happens after something looks vulnerable. We investigate whether it can be exploited and what that access could lead to.
We evaluate internet-facing systems and services from an attacker’s perspective to determine whether exposed assets can be used to gain unauthorized access or establish a foothold in your environment.
We evaluate what becomes possible after access is gained. Testing includes credential exposure, privilege escalation, segmentation, and lateral movement to determine whether a limited foothold could become a much larger compromise.
We examine application functionality, authentication, authorization, business logic, and underlying application programming interfaces (APIs) under real attack conditions. We explore how weaknesses interact and focus on issues that can lead to meaningful compromise.
We evaluate Wi-Fi networks, authentication controls, segmentation, and surrounding infrastructure. We look for weaknesses that could enable unauthorized access, expose credentials, bypass expected controls, or create a path into internal systems.
A useful penetration test doesn’t stop when a vulnerability is found. We keep going to understand what that weakness could lead to, what additional access may become possible, and how multiple issues can be combined.
We verify whether findings are exploitable instead of relying on scanner severity alone.
We evaluate whether an initial foothold can be extended into additional systems, accounts, or network segments.
We test how individual weaknesses interact and whether they can be combined into a more significant compromise.
The goal is to understand what the access means to your organization, not just produce a longer list of findings.
When access is gained, we determine whether it can be elevated to higher privileges or expanded into more sensitive systems.
We use scanners and other automated tools for discovery and coverage, but they do not replace hands-on testing. The important work is validating, investigating, and understanding what the findings mean in context.
A penetration test shouldn’t end with a PDF landing in your inbox. We stay available after the engagement to answer questions, talk through findings, clarify remediation guidance, and provide context as fixes are implemented.
There’s no arbitrary expiration date on that support. If a question comes up later, reach out.
From scoping through testing, reporting, remediation support, and retesting, you work directly with the people performing the engagement. Questions stay close to the source, and the context built during testing does not get lost in handoffs.
Findings include clear evidence and actionable remediation guidance. If questions come up while an issue is being addressed, we’re available to clarify the finding, discuss potential approaches, and explain the risk behind the recommendation.
Once remediation is complete, we retest the affected findings to verify the fixes are working as intended and provide updated results or attestation where appropriate.
Let’s find out what an attacker could actually do before they get the chance.
