Our Tactical Approach
A rigorous, adversary-simulated methodology mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) — applied to every engagement.
Reconnaissance & OSINT
Before touching your infrastructure, we map your digital footprint completely. We scrape GitHub for leaked API keys and credentials, analyze employee breach data for credential stuffing candidates, map exposed ASNs and IP ranges, identify shadow IT and forgotten subdomains, and enumerate your third-party supply chain exposure.
Threat Modeling & Attack Planning
We don't "hack everything." We align our testing to your specific business risks and crown jewels. Depending on the engagement, we craft custom malware, configure covert Command & Control (C2) infrastructure using Havoc, Cobalt Strike, or custom implants, and develop tailored phishing pretexts specific to your organization, industry, and leadership team.
Exploitation — Initial Foothold
The manual offensive work begins. We bypass WAFs and input validation, exploit business logic flaws invisible to scanners, chain low-severity issues into critical-impact attack paths, and execute precision strikes against identified vulnerabilities to establish an initial foothold inside your environment.
Post-Exploitation & Lateral Movement
Getting in is only step one. We simulate advanced persistent threats (APTs) by escalating privileges, dumping credentials from LSASS memory and SAM databases, pivoting through network segments, abusing Active Directory misconfigurations (Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, DCSync), and ultimately attempting to compromise your domain controllers and business-critical data stores to demonstrate the true blast radius of a breach.
Strategic Reporting & Debrief
We translate raw shells into business risk. Every engagement delivers a high-level executive summary for board-level consumption and a detailed technical breakdown with exact reproduction steps, screenshot evidence, CVSS scores, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and prioritized, actionable remediation guidance. Followed by a live debrief call with your engineering and security teams.
Free Retest & Sign-Off
After your team implements fixes, we retest every finding at no extra charge. You receive a formal letter of attestation confirming remediated vulnerabilities — useful for insurers, auditors, and regulators. The engagement isn't complete until your risk is measurably reduced.
Industry Framework Alignment
Our methodology is mapped to internationally recognized standards — so your auditors and regulators recognize the rigor behind every finding.
