Penetration Testing is an authorized, proactive attempt to
measure the security of an IT system by safely exploiting
its vulnerabilities, mostly to evaluate application flaws,
improper configurations, risky end-user behavior. Be that
as it may, why would you voluntarily perform a self-hack in
the first place? What are the different types of Penetration
Testing? What are the principal approaches, methodolo-
gies, tools, techniques and the best practices of the
same? This whitepaper interestingly addresses the above
concerns and throws light on this subject in more detail.
A Network Penetration Testing is crucial to demystify iden-
tify the security exposures that are used to surface when
launch a cyber-attacks are launched from internet and
intranet. The security assessment of internet / intranet
facing system test helps discover the vulnerable network
services that can be exploited by unknown threat sources
The common categories of vulnerabilities present in
networks can personify polar differences in characters. It
can vary from remote system & password compromise,
web server, database, network service, network device,
directory and miscellaneous non-configuration to informa-
tion disclosure to weak cryptography. This array of vulner-
abilities propel the imperative need for a holistic Penetra-
tion Testing Process..
External Network Penetration Testing
The goal of the external network Penetration Testing is to
demonstrate the existence of known security vulnerabilities
that could be exploited by an attacker as they appear outside
the perimeter of the network, usually from the internet.
External testing involves analysis of publicly available infor-
mation, a network enumeration phase and the behavior of the
security devices is analyzed. It is the traditional approach to
Penetration Testing and it involves assessing the servers,
technology infrastructure and the underlying software com-
prising the target. It is performed with no prior knowledge of
the target environment. All web servers, mail servers,
firewalls, routers, IDPS, etc should undergo the Penetration
Testing activity to evaluate the security posture.
Internal Network Penetration Testing
Internal network Penetration Testing reveals the holistic view
of the security posture of the organization.
An internal network security assessment follows a similar
technique to external assessment but with a more complete
view of the site security. Testing will be performed from a
number of network access points, representing each logical
and physical network segments. For example, this may
include tiers and DMZ’s within the environment, the corporate
network or partner company connections. Internal network
Penetration Testing is used to determine If a disgruntled inter-
nal employee of the organization penetrates the network with
the amount of IT knowledge he has, If a hacker breaks into
the internal network by compromising the weak perimeter
security controls and steals the sensitive information and If
the guest visitor walks by the company and steals sensitive
data from the internal network.

Abstract
Introduction
Why Penetration Test?
Apart from the host of afore mentioned vulnerabilities, the
reasons that press harder for the need for Penetration
Testing encompass concerns like threat identification,
perimeter security evaluation, certification of industry
regulations, IT security cost control, anti-vulnerability
solutions, legal compliance, validation of security protec-
tion and most importantly, justify return on security invest-
ment. While Penetration Testing as a generic phenome-
non helps improve the operational efficiency of IT security,
different types of Penetration Testing addresses different
concerns. Types of Penetration Testing:

Profiling involves gathering as much as information as possible about the target network for discovering the possible ways to
enter into the target organization. This involves determining the target operation systems, web server versions, DNS informa-
tion, platforms running, existence of vulnerabilities & exploits for launching the attacks. The information can be gathered using
various techniques such as Whois lookup, enquiring the DNS entries, google searches (using GHDB), social networking sites,
emails, websites, etc.
Discovery involves using the automated tools and manual techniques to identify the live hosts present in the network, deter-
mining the target system’s operating system through banner grabbing, presence of open ports, services running, & versions
of the services, technology information, protocols and its version.
Enumerating an internal network allows the penetration tester to identify the network resources, & shares, users & groupsus-
ers, groups, routing tables, audit & serviceaudit, service settings, machine names, applications & bannersapplications,
banners and protocols & with its details. The identified information would allow the Penetration tTester to identify system
attack points and perform password attacks to gain unauthorized access to informationsystems.
Scanning
Scanning involves identifying the vulnerabilities present in network services, information systems and perimeter security
controls by enterprise class tools with most updated feeds, and using the best manual scripts. In addition, manual assess-
ments helps eliminating the false positives reported by the tools and to identify the false negatives.
Scanning will identify network topology & OS vulnerabilities, application & services vulnerabilities, application & services
configuration errors, etc. In the scanning phase, the pPenetration tTester will identify exploits and evaluate attack surface
area.

Reference – Testing for system takeover
• Identifying and determine the status of vulnerable service on port 6667 on remote system
• Selecting and launching the relevant attack exploit and payload to compromise the remote system
Exploitation
This stage uses the information gathered on active ports and services with the related vulnerabilities to safely exploit the
services exposed. Attack scenarios for production environment will use a combination of exploit payloads in strict accord-
ance with agreed rules of engagement.It involves research, test exploits and launch payloads against the target environ-
ment using Penetration tTest frameworks such as meta-sploit.
Reporting
All exploitable security vulnerabilities in the target system are recorded with associated CVSS v2 based scores are reported
to the client. The identified security vulnerability is thoroughly assessed and reported along with appropriate recommenda-
tion or mitigation measures.

The best practices and recommendations
The following are the best practices that could be followed in applying the defense in depth strategy across
the internal network services
• Establish technical standards for Systems Security & Network Security device hardening
• Security assessments to be integrated with change management processes to avoid introduction of
vulnerability in the technology environments
• Patch and vulnerability management must be tracked closely with platform teams or system owners
• Firewall configuration reviews and change management must be conducted periodically
• Periodically conducted internal and external network security assessment that include compliance checks
against the build standards, if package operating systems (i.e. hardened builds) are deployed across the
organization
• Security benchmark can be found on center for internet security

  • 3. © Happiest Minds Technologies Pvt. Ltd. All Rights Reserved Penetration Testing is an authorized, proactive attempt to measure the security of an IT system by safely exploiting its vulnerabilities, mostly to evaluate application flaws, improper configurations, risky end-user behavior. Be that as it may, why would you voluntarily perform a self-hack in the first place? What are the different types of Penetration Testing? What are the principal approaches, methodolo- gies, tools, techniques and the best practices of the same? This whitepaper interestingly addresses the above concerns and throws light on this subject in more detail. A Network Penetration Testing is crucial to demystify iden- tify the security exposures that are used to surface when launch a cyber-attacks are launched from internet and intranet. The security assessment of internet / intranet facing system test helps discover the vulnerable network services that can be exploited by unknown threat sources The common categories of vulnerabilities present in networks can personify polar differences in characters. It can vary from remote system & password compromise, web server, database, network service, network device, directory and miscellaneous non-configuration to informa- tion disclosure to weak cryptography. This array of vulner- abilities propel the imperative need for a holistic Penetra- tion Testing Process.. External Network Penetration Testing The goal of the external network Penetration Testing is to demonstrate the existence of known security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker as they appear outside the perimeter of the network, usually from the internet. External testing involves analysis of publicly available infor- mation, a network enumeration phase and the behavior of the security devices is analyzed. It is the traditional approach to Penetration Testing and it involves assessing the servers, technology infrastructure and the underlying software com- prising the target. It is performed with no prior knowledge of the target environment. All web servers, mail servers, firewalls, routers, IDPS, etc should undergo the Penetration Testing activity to evaluate the security posture. Internal Network Penetration Testing Internal network Penetration Testing reveals the holistic view of the security posture of the organization. An internal network security assessment follows a similar technique to external assessment but with a more complete view of the site security. Testing will be performed from a number of network access points, representing each logical and physical network segments. For example, this may include tiers and DMZ’s within the environment, the corporate network or partner company connections. Internal network Penetration Testing is used to determine If a disgruntled inter- nal employee of the organization penetrates the network with the amount of IT knowledge he has, If a hacker breaks into the internal network by compromising the weak perimeter security controls and steals the sensitive information and If the guest visitor walks by the company and steals sensitive data from the internal network. 3 Abstract Introduction Why Penetration Test? Apart from the host of afore mentioned vulnerabilities, the reasons that press harder for the need for Penetration Testing encompass concerns like threat identification, perimeter security evaluation, certification of industry regulations, IT security cost control, anti-vulnerability solutions, legal compliance, validation of security protec- tion and most importantly, justify return on security invest- ment. While Penetration Testing as a generic phenome- non helps improve the operational efficiency of IT security, different types of Penetration Testing addresses different concerns. Types of Penetration Testing: Types of Penetration Testing
  • 4. © Happiest Minds Technologies Pvt. Ltd. All Rights Reserved4 Profiling involves gathering as much as information as possible about the target network for discovering the possible ways to enter into the target organization. This involves determining the target operation systems, web server versions, DNS informa- tion, platforms running, existence of vulnerabilities & exploits for launching the attacks. The information can be gathered using various techniques such as Whois lookup, enquiring the DNS entries, google searches (using GHDB), social networking sites, emails, websites, etc. Discovery involves using the automated tools and manual techniques to identify the live hosts present in the network, deter- mining the target system’s operating system through banner grabbing, presence of open ports, services running, & versions of the services, technology information, protocols and its version. Enumerating an internal network allows the penetration tester to identify the network resources, & shares, users & groupsus- ers, groups, routing tables, audit & serviceaudit, service settings, machine names, applications & bannersapplications, banners and protocols & with its details. The identified information would allow the Penetration tTester to identify system attack points and perform password attacks to gain unauthorized access to informationsystems. Scanning Scanning involves identifying the vulnerabilities present in network services, information systems and perimeter security controls by enterprise class tools with most updated feeds, and using the best manual scripts. In addition, manual assess- ments helps eliminating the false positives reported by the tools and to identify the false negatives. Scanning will identify network topology & OS vulnerabilities, application & services vulnerabilities, application & services configuration errors, etc. In the scanning phase, the pPenetration tTester will identify exploits and evaluate attack surface area.

  • 5. © Happiest Minds Technologies Pvt. Ltd. All Rights Reserved5 Reference – Testing for system takeover • Identifying and determine the status of vulnerable service on port 6667 on remote system • Selecting and launching the relevant attack exploit and payload to compromise the remote system Exploitation This stage uses the information gathered on active ports and services with the related vulnerabilities to safely exploit the services exposed. Attack scenarios for production environment will use a combination of exploit payloads in strict accord- ance with agreed rules of engagement.It involves research, test exploits and launch payloads against the target environ- ment using Penetration tTest frameworks such as meta-sploit. Reporting All exploitable security vulnerabilities in the target system are recorded with associated CVSS v2 based scores are reported to the client. The identified security vulnerability is thoroughly assessed and reported along with appropriate recommenda- tion or mitigation measures.
  • 6. © Happiest Minds Technologies Pvt. Ltd. All Rights Reserved6 The best practices and recommendations The following are the best practices that could be followed in applying the defense in depth strategy across the internal network services • Establish technical standards for Systems Security & Network Security device hardening • Security assessments to be integrated with change management processes to avoid introduction of vulnerability in the technology environments • Patch and vulnerability management must be tracked closely with platform teams or system owners • Firewall configuration reviews and change management must be conducted periodically • Periodically conducted internal and external network security assessment that include compliance checks against the build standards, if package operating systems (i.e. hardened builds) are deployed across the organization • Security benchmark can be found on center for internet security Category Tools Frameworks Kali Linux, Backtrack5 R3, Security Onion Reconnaisance Smartwhois, MxToolbox, CentralOps, dnsstuff, nslookup, DIG, netcraft, Discovery Angry IP scanner, Colasoft ping tool, nmap, Maltego, NetResident, LanSurveyor, OpManager Port Scanning Nmap, Megaping, Hping3, Netscan tools pro, Advanced port scanner Service Fingerprinting Xprobe, nmap, zenmap Enumeration Superscan, Netbios enumerator, Snmpcheck, onesixtyone, Jxplorer, Hyena, DumpSec, WinFingerprint, Ps Tools, NsAuditor, Enum4Linux, nslookup, Netscan Scanning Nessus, GFI Languard, Retina, SAINT, Nexpose Password Cracking Ncrack, Cain & Abel, LC5, Ophcrack, pwdump7, fgdump, John The Ripper, Rainbow Crack Sniffing Wireshark, Ettercap, Capsa Network Analyzer MiTM Attacks Cain & Abel, Ettercap Exploitation Metasploit, Core Impact Tools and Techniques
