Red Team Engagement – External Pen Test

Overview

Simulated adversarial attacks against client infrastructure to uncover vulnerabilities in perimeter defenses and web applications.

Stack Used

• Kali Linux
• Metasploit
• Burp Suite
• Nmap
• Hydra

Problem

Clients wanted to validate that perimeter defenses and apps could withstand real-world attacks.

Approach

Performed recon with Nmap, brute-forced with Hydra, exploited weaknesses using Metasploit, and tested apps with Burp Suite. Delivered a remediation roadmap.

Results

Found critical vulnerabilities (misconfigured firewalls, outdated libs). Helped prevent a potential breach and cut risk exposure significantly.
