Server, Active Directory, and cloud penetration testing.
We test Linux and Windows servers, Active Directory identity infrastructure, and AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud environments for privilege escalation, identity misconfigurations, and lateral movement.
What is in scope
Key technical areas and vulnerability classes evaluated during the assessment.
Linux and Windows server hardening
Evaluating OS patch levels, local privilege escalation vectors, sudo/SUID permissions, Windows service ACLs, and exposed administrative ports.
Active Directory security assessment
Testing Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS) misconfigurations, GPO permissions, and Domain Admin attack paths.
Cloud IAM and privilege escalation
Auditing AWS IAM roles, Azure Entra ID / RBAC, and GCP service accounts for over-privileged policies and cross-account trust flaws.
Cloud storage, secrets, and metadata
Testing S3 buckets, Azure Blob Storage, GCS buckets, KMS policies, and instance metadata service (IMDS) exposures.
Container and Kubernetes security
Evaluating Docker daemon configurations, Kubernetes RBAC, pod security contexts, network policies, and container escape risks.
CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code review
Reviewing Terraform, CloudFormation, and deployment pipeline permissions that could allow unauthorized production access.
Testing methodology
Our step-by-step engineering workflow from reconnaissance to verified proof of concept.
1. Baseline configuration and CIS benchmark audit
We evaluate server operating systems and cloud accounts against CIS Benchmarks and cloud security best practices.
2. Identity and privilege path mapping
We analyze Active Directory trusts and cloud IAM role chains to identify paths from standard accounts to administrative control.
3. Manual privilege escalation validation
We safely validate misconfigurations and privilege escalation paths to demonstrate real impact.
4. Hardening verification
We re-verify server baselines, Active Directory ACLs, and cloud IAM policies after remediation.
