Real Attacks and Break-ins

    The ultimate test of any network security is to survive an attack by experienced and determined crackers. Upon client request GotRoot will attempt a variety of attacks and break-ins on your machines that would be typical of those most likely to target your company. If you anticipate attacks coming from individuals with limited resources and knowledge (e.g., "script kiddies") this can be a relatively inexpensive operation. However, if you anticipate attackers with Government or corporate resources, a realistic attack can be more expensive to mount and may require specialized hardware, personnel, travel expenses, and other resources. Among the services we can provide are:

  • Machine Break-ins
  • Domain Hijacking
  • Denial of Services Attacks
  • Cracking of user passwords
  • Retrieval of sensitive documents
  • Network insertion of backdoors, snuffers, viruses, etc.
  • Physical Access to sensitive hardware or software At the end of this process, you'll receive a detailed report showing how we accomplished a given attack and identifying the security weaknesses that allowed it. Recommendations will be provided to correct the security flaws discovered and GotRoot can provide Security Remediation Services to help correct such problems.
