Network Penetration Testing Services

From Open Ports to Real Exploits

Prove What’s Exploitable—Not Just What’s Exposed

Perimeter scans are table stakes. The real question is what an attacker can actually do next. Our network penetration testing connects the dots across internet-facing services, VPN and remote access, internal networks, and identity systems to show how exposure becomes impact: credential theft and relay, privilege escalation in Active Directory, lateral movement to high-value systems, and quiet data egress. Findings are validated and explained in business terms so owners know what to fix—and why it matters.

Safety and signal matter. Tests are scoped and deconflicted to avoid disruption, with throttled techniques, change windows where needed, and clear comms. We pair exploit evidence with precise mitigations: segmentation rules that block the observed path, hardening for AD/Azure AD, safer admin workflows, egress controls that stop data staging, and logging that would have caught us earlier. The outcome is a ranked, credible path-to-impact map that turns effort into measurable risk reduction.

Focus On What Matters

Inside Your Network Penetration Testing Service

We focus on exploitable attack paths—scoped, coordinated, and mapped to clear fixes your teams can run.

Talk to An Expert

Where attackers start.

Internet-facing services, exposed management ports, SSL/TLS issues, default creds, weak auth flows.
VPN/SSO entry, MFA coverage and bypass patterns, password spray and lockout safety checks.
Cloud edge (WAF/CDN, reverse proxies) and misrouted DNS that leaks internal detail.

How they move.

Active Directory abuse paths (NTLM relay, Kerberoast, AS-REP roast), constrained/unconstrained delegation, shadow admins.
Lateral movement via SMB/WinRM/RDP, local admin sprawl, credential material in memory and shares.
Common misconfigs: LLMNR/mDNS poisoning, insecure service principals, legacy protocols.

Containment and data paths.

VLAN/zone rules validation, tiering of admin workstations, east–west controls and allowlists.
Egress routes for exfiltration, DNS/HTTP(S) tunneling, overlooked proxy exceptions.
Quick wins: blocklists/allowlists, ACL cleanups, private access patterns.

Clear proof, clean closure.

Exploit-backed findings with scope, affected assets, and business impact.
Step-by-step mitigations, owner mapping, and verification checks.
Leader summary that explains entry → movement → impact in plain language.

Forgepath separates themselves from the rest as they’re a true security partner to Parsysco. They took the time to understand our requirements and how things were working with our previous provider.

We were impressed by how quickly they formulated a new strategy and approach. They helped us identify our challenges and consistently brought forward solutions that were in Parsysco’s best interest.

Most vendors only care about selling something, Forgepath took the personal relationship and partnership approach that we value greatly.
