Offensive operations require evasion techniques to bypass security controls. Testers will often find that their attacks against web applications, Office 365, and other external endpoints are quickly blocked. Read our guide outlining the tools we use here at Sprocket to help us effectively attack our client's infrastructure including Fireprox, proxybroker2 and http-proxy-ipv6-pool.

Know the risks and attack vectors associated with allowing inbound SMB port connectivity to workstations with an emphasis on lateral movement tools and techniques. See how Continuous Penetration Testing is highly useful for augmenting the current security control landscape implemented by the business.

Any offensive security operator will tell you that guessing employee credentials is key to compromising your customer’s network – and therefore highlighting vulnerabilities – during a cyber-security engagement. The thing is, it’s easier said than done as companies increasingly continue to transition to cloud services such as Microsoft Office 365 (O365) – all of which provide multi-factor authentication (MFA)

A vulnerability was recently disclosed for the Java logging library, Log4j. The vulnerability is wide-reaching and affects both open-source projects and enterprise software.
