Network Penetration Testing Services
Comprehensive Network Security Assessments
In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, network penetration testing is essential for organizations looking to secure their IT infrastructure, from traditional networks to advanced Operational Technology (OT) and SCADA environments, as well as air-gapped systems. White Knight Labs offers network penetration testing services that go far beyond standard vulnerability scanning. Our approach combines decades of security expertise with advanced methodologies to thoroughly assess and secure your network, whether it’s on-premises, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments.
Why Choose White Knight Labs?
At White Knight Labs, we understand that network security is not a one-size-fits-all challenge. We test a wide range of environments, including:
Traditional Networks
We assess your standard IT infrastructure, identifying vulnerabilities and helping you strengthen your security posture.
OT and SCADA Systems
Our team specializes in testing critical industrial systems, ensuring that even the most sensitive environments are secure against cyber threats.
Air-Gapped Networks
For environments that are isolated from the internet, we perform specialized assessments to ensure that security measures are in place to prevent breaches.
Cloud Network Penetration Testing
We extend our services to cloud environments, testing hosts within the cloud to ensure robust security controls are in place and vulnerabilities are identified and mitigated.
Advanced Testing Methodology
White Knight Labs pairs automated vulnerability scanning with in-depth manual testing, adhering to the 80/20 rule—20% automation and 80% manual testing. This approach ensures that we not only identify obvious vulnerabilities but also uncover subtle, complex issues that automated tools often miss. Our testing goes beyond simply achieving Domain Admin access; we aim to gain access to sensitive data, demonstrating the true value and potential impact of security breaches.
External Network Assessments
Your perimeter network is under constant threat from attackers, making external network penetration testing essential for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities. At White Knight Labs, we take a real-world approach to external network assessments, treating them as if they were actual attacks to expose potential weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors.
Our external penetration testing involves a comprehensive evaluation of your perimeter defenses, including routers, firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and other security appliances that filter malicious traffic from the internet. We employ advanced techniques such as password spraying on Office 365 accounts to gain unauthorized email access and check for the presence and effectiveness of multi-factor authentication (MFA). Additionally, we scan web servers for custom vulnerabilities and attempt to breach internal networks where possible.
Throughout the assessment, we focus on identifying critical vulnerabilities and perform in-depth vulnerability scanning to ensure a thorough evaluation of your external network security. Our goal is to simulate real-world attack scenarios to uncover vulnerabilities that might otherwise go unnoticed, providing you with actionable insights to strengthen your perimeter defenses and protect your organization from potential breaches.
Internal Network Assessments
Our internal network assessments go beyond standard penetration testing by simulating the tactics, techniques, and procedures of a malicious insider. White Knight Labs’ engineers approach your network as an attacker would, aiming to uncover and exploit vulnerabilities that could compromise your most sensitive assets.
We start by thoroughly exploring your internal network, identifying weak points, and targeting critical areas that could provide access to valuable information. Our team uses advanced tools and techniques to uncover and reuse compromised credentials, gaining access to both virtual and physical machines within your environment. We then pivot across the network, escalating privileges strategically to move from low-level user access to higher-level administrative control.
However, our work doesn’t stop at achieving Domain Admin access. We aim to demonstrate the full impact of a breach by accessing and exfiltrating sensitive data, providing a clear picture of the potential risks your organization faces. Our detailed reports include an attack path analysis, showing every step we took to compromise your network, so you can see exactly how we escalated privileges and what was done to secure administrator access.
Why Do You Need a Network Penetration Test?
A network penetration test offers a unique perspective on your organization’s security defenses. Whether you are a newer company still establishing your security posture or a mature organization with a complex, multi-faceted network, a thorough assessment can identify security flaws before attackers do. Armed with this insight, you can make informed, risk-based decisions to protect your enterprise, demonstrating to clients, partners, and investors that their assets are secure in your hands.
Our Network Pentest Methodology
White Knight Labs excels in delivering structured, repeatable methodologies that ensure reliable, reproducible, and high-quality findings. Our methodology includes:
Network Scope
Define the assets to be tested, discuss exclusions, and confirm the testing period.
Information Gathering

Enumeration and Vulnerability Scanning
Utilize automated tools and manual techniques to examine all potential attack vectors.
Attack and Penetration
Exploit discovered vulnerabilities to prove conceptual attack vectors while preserving network integrity.
Reporting and Documentation
Deliver comprehensive reports that include attack paths, risk analysis, and remediation strategies.
Remediation Testing
Verify that remediation efforts are effective and search for any new vulnerabilities that may have emerged.
Reporting and Documentation
White Knight Labs provides detailed reports that outline the entire attack path, from initial access to privilege escalation, and documents every step taken to gain admin access. Each report is tailored to your organization’s specific needs and includes:
An Executive Summary
High-level insights and strategic direction for leadership.
Technical Risk Walkthrough
Detailed descriptions of the technical risks identified during the assessment.
Vulnerability Remediation Options
Multiple strategies for addressing each identified vulnerability.
Impact Analysis
A thorough examination of the potential impact each vulnerability could have on your organization.
Remediation Testing
As part of our commitment to providing ongoing support, White Knight Labs offers remediation testing to ensure that vulnerabilities identified in our initial assessment have been properly addressed. We retrace our steps to verify that patches and security improvements are effective, and we search for new vulnerabilities that may have emerged as a result of updates or changes to your network environment.
