Our Penetration Testing Process

At Global Bug Hunters, we follow a structured and thorough penetration testing methodology that allows us to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, providing you with actionable insights on how to fortify your security posture. Our process is broken down into several key phases, each designed to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of your systems.

1. Planning & Reconnaissance

Before conducting a penetration test, we work with you to define the scope of the test, identifying the systems, networks, and applications to be evaluated. During the reconnaissance phase, we gather as much information as possible about the target environment using both passive and active reconnaissance techniques.

2. Scanning & Vulnerability Identification

In this phase, we utilize advanced scanning tools to map the target’s network and identify potential vulnerabilities. We perform both network and application-level scans, looking for weak points, outdated systems, open ports, and misconfigurations that could be exploited.

3. Exploitation & Penetration

Once vulnerabilities have been identified, our ethical hackers attempt to exploit them to gain unauthorized access to your systems. This phase simulates real-world attacks to determine how deep an attacker could penetrate into your environment and what sensitive data or systems could be compromised.

4. Post-Exploitation & Persistence

After initial access is gained, we assess how attackers could maintain long-term access to compromised systems. We also analyze the potential impact of the breach by investigating what sensitive information or critical systems could be accessed.

5. Reporting & Recommendations

Following the test, we provide a detailed report outlining the vulnerabilities discovered, the exploitation methods used, and the impact of each vulnerability. We also provide actionable recommendations to help you remediate the vulnerabilities and strengthen your overall security posture.
