Penetration Testing
Penetration testing, or ethical hacking tests the security of a privet network by attempting access the information it contains.
During this process we actually use the same tools and methods that hackers would use to gain control or access of systems and information that are to be protected. This type of testing is performed with caution it may cause disruption of services for the network users. We will also try to avoid being detected by Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).
This service is typically done remotly and usually occurs after an external vulnerability assessment.
Optional Service: IDS avoidance is the practice of spreading out the attack over a longer period of time to see if we can gain access or penetrate the network fooling the IDS so it does not
report on those activities. Please note with IDS avoidance it will lengthen substantially the time to complete the project. However, if someone were trying to break in this is what they would do.
