Penetration Testing (Pentest)
With the rapid spread of the internet and digitalization, the cybersecurity industry is constantly evolving. Companies and institutions are developing various security measures to protect their IT infrastructures and take precautions against cyber attacks. However, as attackers become increasingly sophisticated, organizations are required to strengthen their defenses. At this point, “Penetration Testing” (Pentest), also known as “Infiltration Testing”, becomes an important tool to evaluate the reliability of an institution’s information technology infrastructure.
What is a Penetration Test?
Penetration Testing, also known as “Pentest,” is a controlled cyberattack process conducted to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities in an organization’s information systems. This test is carried out to increase the institution’s information security and test its resistance to potential attacks. During the pentest process, cybersecurity experts try to access networks and applications by thinking like a potential attacker. These tests evaluate the effectiveness of the organization’s defense mechanisms and identify vulnerabilities, allowing them to be closed.
Why Should a Pentest Be Conducted?
In today’s world, where cyber threats are increasing, the security of information systems is of great importance for institutions. Pentest should be considered as part of organizations’ information security strategies. Why should organizations have Penetration Testing?
Detection of Security Vulnerabilities: Pentest ensures that your organization is protected against attacks by identifying security vulnerabilities.
Eliminating Weak Points: The identified security vulnerabilities are eliminated, and the information security level is increased.
Compliance with Regulations: In many industries, regulatory bodies require compliance with certain safety standards. Pentest is an important step to ensure compliance with these standards.
Protecting Reputation: A cyber attack on an organization can undermine customer trust and damage its reputation. Pentest protects the reputation by preventing such negative situations.

Cyber Kill Chain is a model that aims to analyze the stages of cyber attacks and develop effective defense strategies at each step. Developed by Lockheed Martin, this model examines the lifecycle of attacks in seven key stages:
- Reconnaissance
- The attacker gathers information about the target. (OSINT, social engineering)
- Weaponization
- Malware or attack tools are prepared.
- Delivery
- Malware is delivered to the target. (Email attachments, malicious websites)
- Exploitation
- Malware is executed by exploiting a system vulnerability
- Installation
- The malware is made permanent on the target system.
- Command and Control – C2
- The attacker communicates with the malware and gains control.
- Actions on Objectives
- Activities such as data theft and system disruption are carried out to achieve the targeted goals.

Penetration Testing Over the Internet
Szutest Teknoloji’s penetration testing service over the internet starts by discovering the IP, port, and domains of the relevant target. Penetration testing is performed using methods such as Google Dork, Offensive OSINT, and identifying open ports and services. In addition to critical services, forgotten files and applications open to the internet are also examined. Szutest Teknoloji creates an effective attack scenario by expanding possible attack surfaces using active and passive information gathering techniques.
Local Network and System Penetration Testing
Many organizations are not careful enough about the security of their local networks. However, Szutest Teknoloji reveals these vulnerabilities with local network security testing. Real attacker actions are imitated using system vulnerabilities. All network components, such as server systems, switches, routers, and firewalls, are tested. The findings are ranked according to the security rating and presented in a detailed report.
Active Directory Penetration Testing
The Active Directory test starts with a standard authorized user account in the AD environment. Szutest Teknoloji investigates misconfigurations and inadequate remediation procedures to discover vulnerabilities in the overall structure of AD. Its purpose is to gain access to the Domain Admin privileges, which is the most authorized user.
