A Penetration Testing, also known as Pen Test is a legal attempt at gaining access to your protected systems or networks. The purpose of the test is to identify security vulnerabilities and then attempt to successfully exploit them in order to gain some from of access to the network or system
Penetration Testing is “The Third Party Hacker”.
• To Beat A Hacker, You have to think like a Hacker
• An accurate snapshot of system security
• Through testing without the downtime
• Detailed report with expert remediation assistance
• Executive report and risk prioritize by DREAD Model
Infrastructure Penetration Testing are including External Penetration Testing or Black Box Penetration Testing that is testing from internet likes a real hacker or you do not provide any technical or network related details to our Penetration Tester. And Internal Penetration Testing or White Box Penetration Testing. This approach can simulate an insider attack or when an insider leaks your valuable information to a hacker.
To gain assurance that a malicious attacker could not gain unauthorized access to wireless or connected wired resources.
It helps you lower you risk of data breach and protect your reputation.
To perform testing for iOS and Android platforms of mobile applications.
A penetration testing will show the vulnerabilities in the target system and the risks to the business. Based on an approved approach each of the risks is then evaluated. This forms the basis for a detailed report classifying the risks as either High-Medium-Low.
Penetration Testing gives you a quick and low cost overview of your infrastructure, wireless, web application, mobile application and resilience to attacks
When you carry out penetration testing, you will be complying with industry requirements such as ISO27001, PCI/DSS that demands all organization conduct regular penetration testing and reviews on all their systems.
As soon as your security goes out of the door, your reputation will always follow. The people you work with can only trust you when you are worth the trust. By performing regular penetration testing, you will be boosting their confidence in your products and services
We can evaluate how secure your system is and how well developed. You can then use our Penetration Testing as a signoff tool before accepting a site or service developed by a third party
Using Penetration Testing to enhance security and reduce business risk
Astra Security’s product, the Astra Pentest is guided by one principle – making the pentest process simple for the users. Astra’s efforts towards making the penetration testing platform self-serving are constant and yet they manage to always be available and on point with support. Astra has made visualizing, navigating, and remediating vulnerabilities as simple as running a search on Google.
On Astra’s penetration testing platform, the user gets a dedicated dashboard to visualize the vulnerabilities, read the CVSS scores, get in touch with the security personnel, and access remediation support.
Over the past year, Astra has added names like ICICI, UN, and Dream 11, to their already impressive roster of clients which included Ford, Gillette, and GoDaddy, among others.

NMAP is short for Network Mapper. It helps you map a network by scanning ports, discovering operating systems, and creating an inventory of devices and the services running on them. This is a great suite for network pen testing.
NMAP sends differently structured packets for different transport layer protocols which return with IP addresses and other information. You can use this information for host discovery, OS fingerprinting, service discovery, and security auditing.
NMAP is a powerful tool with the capability of mapping a very large network with thousands of ports connected to it.
How does NMAP help in Security Audits?
NMAP allows security administrators to create an inventory of all devices, operating systems, and applications connected to a network, it makes it possible for them to point out probable vulnerabilities.
For instance, if an application running on a network is deemed vulnerable, the network administrators can spot it using NMAP and take the needful steps to update or replace the application.

Metasploit is used by both hackers and security professionals to detect systematic vulnerabilities. It is a powerful framework that also contains portions of fuzzing, anti-forensic, and evasion tools.
It is easy to install, works on a range of platforms, and is quite popular among hackers. That is part of the reason why it is an important tool for pentesters as well.
Metasploit currently includes nearly 1677 exploits along with almost 500 payloads that include Command shell payloads, Dynamic payloads, Meterpreter payloads, and Static payloads.
With listeners, encoders, and post-exploit code, Metasploit is a very powerful tool for ethical hacking.

WireShark is a famous open-source penetration testing tool primarily used for protocol analysis. You can monitor network activities at a microscopic level using this tool. What makes it one of the best pentest tools is the fact that thousands of security engineers across the world contribute to its improvement.
What WireShark allows you to do
It is important to note that WireShark is not an Intrusion Detection System or IDS. As a protocol analyzer, it can help you visualize malformed packets but it cannot raise an alarm if there is any malicious activity on the network.
