Overview

Built For Penetration Testing

Once an attacker is inside, the question is no longer “can they get in” but “how far can they go.” Internal pentests answer it — domain trust, share permissions, weak service configurations, and unpatched hosts are all walked the way an adversary would.

We work from a low-privileged foothold (assumed breach) through to crown-jewel access — domain compromise, sensitive file servers, build pipelines — then translate the chain into prioritised remediation.

Schedule a Consultation

Assumed Breach

Modern threat modelling assumes the perimeter falls — the inside is the real defence.

AD Sprawl

Years of stale ACLs, GPOs, and trusts create easy lateral paths.

Privilege Creep

Service accounts and admins accumulate access far beyond their job.

Patch Backlog

Critical patches on internal hosts often slip past published-vuln windows.

Why It Matters

Reduce Risk, Protect Trust

Assumed Breach

Modern threat modelling assumes the perimeter falls — the inside is the real defence.

AD Sprawl

Years of stale ACLs, GPOs, and trusts create easy lateral paths.

Privilege Creep

Service accounts and admins accumulate access far beyond their job.

Patch Backlog

Critical patches on internal hosts often slip past published-vuln windows.

Share Exposure

File shares routinely contain credentials, scripts, and PII.

Compliance Mandate

RBI, SEBI, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 all expect periodic internal testing.

Our Services

Penetration Testing Coverage

End-to-end validation across internal Windows/Linux estates and Active Directory.

AD Enumeration

BloodHound, ADExplorer, and custom queries to map trust and ACLs.

Lateral Movement

Pass-the-hash, Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, NTLM relay.

Privilege Escalation

Local EoP, GPO abuse, mis-scoped service principals.

Patch & Config

Map missing patches, weak SMB/RDP, exposed services.

Share Hunting

Crawl shares for secrets, scripts, and sensitive data.

Crown-Jewel Access

Walk the chain to file servers, source control, and admin consoles.

Share Exposure

Open shares full of credentials, scripts, and PII.

Patch Drift

Unpatched internal hosts behind perimeter assumption.

Trust Misuse

Forest trusts allowing cross-domain privilege escalation.
