External attack surface
Review exposed hosts, services, remote access paths, and internet-facing weaknesses.
- Perimeter services and entry points
- VPN, remote access, and management exposure
- Weak auth and overlooked public services
Network Pentest Internal • external • lateral movement
Network penetration testing services for internal and external attack paths.
Lex tests exposed services, internal networks, Active Directory, segmentation boundaries, and privilege paths so you can understand how a real attacker could move through your environment.
What network penetration testing covers
The focus is on how attackers get in, move laterally, and escalate access.
Internal networks and AD
Test segmentation, trust relationships, credential paths, and directory risk.
- Active Directory privilege paths
- Shared credentials and excessive trust
- Segmentation and containment weaknesses
Lateral movement and escalation
Validate how far an attacker can move once a foothold is gained.
- Privilege escalation chains
- Local admin and delegation weaknesses
- Evidence-backed impact narrative
How the engagement runs
Clear scope, safe execution, and proof that helps defenders act fast.
Step 01
Scope
Define external ranges, internal segments, accounts, rules of engagement, and safety constraints.
Step 02
Enumerate
Map services, identify trust boundaries, and locate likely footholds and privilege paths.
Step 03
Validate
Test lateral movement, escalation, and segmentation weaknesses with agreed constraints.
Step 04
Report
Provide prioritized findings, affected paths, and remediation steps defenders can execute.
FAQ
A few common questions about network penetration testing.
What does network penetration testing cover?
Network penetration testing typically covers internet-facing services, internal networks, segmentation, exposed hosts, Active Directory, lateral movement, weak credentials, and privilege escalation paths.
Do you test internal networks and Active Directory?
Yes. Internal network and Active Directory testing commonly includes privilege escalation, credential attack paths, trust relationships, misconfigurations, and containment weaknesses.
How is network penetration testing different from vulnerability scanning?
Vulnerability scanning identifies possible weaknesses. Network penetration testing adds manual validation, chaining of attack paths, and proof of impact so the final report reflects real risk rather than scan output alone.
