Pentest:
Proactive Threat Mitigation

Growing threats on information systems are a today a major issue for company and governments all around the world.

Cybercriminals are using a variety of sophisticated techniques to break into computer network, compromise sensitive assets and disrupt business operations. The consequence of these incidents can be catastrophic, ranging from loss of critical data to disruption of business operations, loss of reputation and customer trust.

Identify and address vulnerabilities before malicious actors do, bolstering cybersecurity defenses and reducing the risk of data breaches.

Pentest: External assets discovery

Managing the complete array of IP addresses, virtual hosts, domains, and sub-domains accessible on the Internet can be a challenging task for any company, especially for larger enterprises with multiple IT teams. Do you wish to regain control over your assets available on the Internet?

External mapping: Main challenges

What are the challenges to ensure the safety of assets published on the internet on in the cloud:

  • Maintain up-to-date documentation for all servers published on the Internet or through Cloud services
  • Identify and ensure only necessary services are accessible from the internet.
  • Verify that test, development, or preproduction servers are not accessible externally.
  • Implement control measures for new assets during mergers or acquisitions.
  • Foster collaboration among IT teams to minimize configuration errors and prevent unauthorized access to resources from the internet.

External mapping: Our Solutions

QLab offers a comprehensive solution to discover your Internet assets:

  • Methodology to find published assets with various techniques (whois, ASN, search engines, favicon, etc.)
  • Exhaustive search using external services (censys, crtsh, shodan, etc.).
  • Creation of specific dictionaries based on identified domain names.

Continuous service for ongoing alerts on newly detected assets.

External Pentest

Do you want to assess the security of your online assets by impersonating an attacker in possession of limited information on your environment: IP addresses (Black box mode) and user account(s) on accessible services (Grey box mode)?

External Pentest: Main challenges

Online services, from VPNs to databases, pose security risks Protecting against server control, database theft, and network intrusions can be challenging:

  • Restrict online accessibility to selected services through IP filtering, firewall rules, and initial authentication.
  • Keep exposed services up to date to prevent easy compromises.
  • Implement robust configurations to withstand specific attacks on these services.
  • Verify authentication mechanisms to prevent intrusions due to weak passwords.
  • Implement detection mechanisms for potential attacks, including exploitation and brute force.

External Pentest: Our Solutions

Quarkslab’s external pentests tackle challenges by:

Mobile Penetration testing

Check the robustness of your mobile applications (Android/iOS) through a surface penetration test in a black / grey / white box in order to guarantee a level of security against external threats.

Mobile App Audit: Main challenges

When developing a mobile application, companies must ensure that the entire process is carried out by following the best security practices:

  • Ensure the mobile application is robust against external threats
  • Implement measures to slow down an attacker studying the application (code obfuscation, root/jailbreak detection)
  • Rely on skilled developers in secure programming
  • Use well-configured and robust base system and application
  • Ensure compliance with data protection regulations
