Network & Active Directory Testing involves a comprehensive assessment of your internal network architecture and Microsoft AD environment to uncover misconfigurations, insecure protocols, privilege escalations, and lateral movement paths.
Internal networks and AD environments often attract attackers once they get inside. They explore weak settings, collect unnecessary privileges, or take advantage of unpatched systems to spread across your entire setup.
We simulate real-world attack paths using both manual and automated techniques — including privilege escalation, password spraying, and Kerberos abuse — to identify how far an attacker could go inside your network if they gain access.
Our approach is based on MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, and CIS Benchmarks, covering key network and domain controller components.
We assess:
We replicate adversarial tactics in a controlled manner to measure your real-world exposure and recommend strategic defences.
Types of Testing -
We simulate attacker behaviour to identify exploitable paths within AD including misconfigured permissions, group memberships and delegation chains.
We attempt to escalate privileges from low-level accounts to domain admin and move laterally across systems, simulating advanced persistent threat (APT) behaviour.
Testing includes password spraying, hash extraction, Pass-the-Hash, Kerberoasting, and ticket forging to assess how credentials can be leveraged post-compromise.
We inspect internal services (SMB, RDP, LDAP, DNS, etc.) for weaknesses that could be exploited to gain unauthorised access or pivot within the network.
Our Network & AD testing helps you strengthen your internal defences and protect against privilege-based attacks.
Our Network & AD Testing service goes beyond surface-level scans to uncover deep vulnerabilities and provide prioritised, actionable guidance.
Trusted by enterprises, government agencies, and IT teams dedicated to strengthening internal networks and critical infrastructure.
Find clear answers to common questions about our internal network and Active Directory testing process, scope, and safety measures.
Both options are available. On-site testing is ideal for highly secured networks; remote testing can be arranged with VPN or internal access credentials.
Yes, though AD testing focuses on Microsoft environments, we also assess Linux servers, switches, firewalls, and network appliances.
No. Our tests are non-disruptive and performed during agreed-upon windows with minimal impact on normal operations.
Yes. We simulate various adversarial techniques such as credential dumping, privilege escalation, and pivoting through internal hosts.
Absolutely. You’ll receive a detailed report with prioritised remediation steps, policy hardening tips, and AD hygiene best practices.
