Physical Penetration Testing
A physical penetration aims to assess all the physical aspects of security controls. These include evaluating locks, fences, security guards, cameras, and other security measures. During a physical penetration test, there are attempts to thwart these controls to gain physical access to restricted areas, identify sensitive data, and gain entry to a network.
Benefits of performing Physical Penetration Tests
Why do you need Physical Penetration Testing?
A Physical Penetration Test assesses your organization’s vulnerabilities to physical break-ins. Physical threats that can be simulated include bypassing door locks, stealing devices, or using social engineering to convince employees, for instance, to allow entry into a server room. The main idea of Physical Penetration Testing is to identify your weaknesses in security through simulation and assist in rectifying flaws so that they don’t cause you any issues in the future. It can also be used to determine the level of your physical controls and the security awareness of the staff. This can help you identify measures to be taken for improvement.
Physical Penetration Testing methods
Physical penetration testing methodology involves test cases based on certain contextual and environmental elements as well as the scope of an operation. It could be different for each project. There could be an incident of tailgating into a facility at one location and lock picking at another.

Workflow how our white hackers work
A penetration test is usually roughly divided into five phases:
Phases 2 - 4 are usually repeated several times.The actual penetration test usually begins with a tool-based scan of the network.
Methodologies we use
Stage 1. Preparation
Research of all artifacts and resources related to the customer (domain names, IPs, 3d party resources) including from Darknet.Сoordination of test objectives, scope, test methods, and devices.
Stage 2. Scanning phase
At this stage, we are looking for open paths to computers and resources. The system is "touched" for the first time. Here we are attempting to obtain information from different sources.
Stage 3. Enumeration
This phase often runs at the same time as stage 2. Its goal is to get real, useful information through the security check. To carry out the attacks successfully, it is necessary to obtain the most accurate information possible about the system. At this stage, we search for suitable exploits, conduct detailed network analysis, hash cracking, and coordinate further attacks.
Stage 4. Exploit phase
The vulnerabilities found must now be exploited to carry out real attacks on the system. In this way, existing security gaps and weak points are revealed. Here we conduct the verification tests (exploitation of vulnerabilities, circumvention of security measures and active intrusion, man-in-the-middle attacks, post-exploitation, etc.)
Then we repeat levels 2 to 4.Stage 5. Evaluation and reporting
To be able to realistically assess the actual security situation, a detailed and comprehensive report is necessary. Management can derive appropriate measures from the management reports to achieve proper IT security. During the final analysis, we evaluate and document the results, make the summary and presentation, and listing of weak points, and give recommendations for countermeasures.
Stage 6. Post-implementation review
We will provide specific recommendations for your further actions required and support you in their implementation if needed. We will check all corrections and improvements to make sure that our recommendations work in right way.
What do you get in the result?
How secure computer systems and networks are can only be found out through realistic IT penetration tests, which reveal all possible gaps. After we complete a penetration test, we would uncover your security gaps before the hackers get to exploit them. As a result:
We will discuss specific recommendations for your further actions required and support you in the further procedure even after the review.
