In this blog we will explain some important steps how to perform Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (Infra VAPT). There are some steps which require to follow while performing Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing.
Planning and Preparation Phase
As part of planning the pentesting team must decide what amount of access is necessary, what kind of testing environment is needed, how to access it and other factors as part this stage.
After planning phase is completed, then the application or infrastructure owner and their team need to start working on the assessment requirement fulfilment because good preparation is essential and ensures a time-efficient execution of the assessment.
The pentester acts like an attacker and try to attempts to find the vulnerability and exploit those vulnerabilities within the scope and border granted by the engagement rules.
Information Gathering and Analysis Phase
As a part of information gathering and analysis phase the penetration tester start gathering as much as information about in-scope target infrastructure and applications.
Below mentioned few tools which we will use in this phase:
Netdiscover, Nmap and Snmpwalk.
Vulnerability Detection Phase
As a part of vulnerability detection phase the penetration tester use multiple tools and techniques to find out loophole or vulnerabilities which are present on infrastructure and applications.
Below mentioned few tools which we can use in this phase:
Nessus, Nmap, Nikto, Wireshark etc.
Penetration Attempt Phase
As a part of penetration testing phase the penetration tester start attacking like an attacker on in-scope target infrastructure and applications.
Below mentioned few tools which we will use in this phase:
Metasploit, Nmap, Snmpwalk etc.
Reporting and Clean Up Phase
As a part of reporting and clean up phase the penetration tester creates report in as such a way that any technical or non-technical person can also understand about vulnerabilities and developer & infrastructure teams can fix those issues. The clean-up phase will perform after completion of penetration testing in which all testing tools, malicious testing file, payloads, licenses etc. which are used during penetration testing will remove completely.

Netrika is a proven leader in the field of Penetration Testing in India.
It has helped numerous companies and organizations in securing their information systems and computer networks with ethical hacking and other industry-approved techniques.
Famous data violations where 56 million credit card information stolen from the depot house can be avoided through PCI DSS compliance.
As a first step, your organization can meet PCI DSS needs.
PCI DSS is just the beginning and it does not cover all the aspects of your cyber security, the main focus is to protect the data holder data.
Then there is testing services such as vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, which will help protect your organization from cyber attacks.
Why do organizations do compliance testing?Compliance testing, also known as conformity testing, is a non-functional testing technique used to ensure that your organization fulfills a series of specified standards.
This standard is not specific geography and is followed by organizations throughout the world.
IT Vulnerability Assessment: TRG provides a system whereby we identify, classify, and priorities security vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure.
A thorough report is provided which assigns various levels of severity to each vulnerability identified.
We provide a remediation and mitigation road-map for your IT Team to implement or we can provide the service to implement the recommendations.
