We map the paths an attacker would take.
External perimeter and internal network penetration testing that maps exposure, footholds, and lateral movement.
Internal network pressure from an attacker’s seat
Network penetration testing answers a practical question: if an attacker scans your perimeter—or lands inside your LAN—how far can they go? Codefend assesses internet-facing services and, when authorized, internal segments as a post-compromise adversary would.
External testing covers discovery of hosts, open ports, vulnerable services, weak remote access, and exposed management interfaces. Internal testing explores Active Directory attack paths, credential reuse, trust relationships, segmentation gaps, and privilege escalation toward crown-jewel systems.
We emphasize evidence-backed paths over raw vulnerability dumps: what is reachable, what can be chained, and which fixes collapse the most risk. That makes remediation planning clearer for infrastructure and identity teams.
Use this service for annual compliance-driven pentests, M&A due diligence, cloud-connected hybrid networks, or after major network or identity changes.
Frequently asked questions
External only, internal only, or both?
All three options are available. Combined engagements give the fullest picture of perimeter and post-foothold risk.
Do you need VPN or jump-host access for internal tests?
Usually yes. We document required access, accounts, and out-of-scope systems before kickoff.
Will you touch production servers aggressively?
Exploits and impact validation follow the rules of engagement. Destructive actions stay off-limits unless explicitly approved.
Is Active Directory included?
When in scope, AD attack-path analysis is a core part of internal network pentesting.
