Scenario 1: Mirror environment

Consider yourself a penetration tester who is tasked to carry out a black box penetration test against a single IP in an on-site project. Your job is to make sure that no vulnerabilities are present in the server and on the application running on it.

Understanding the environment

Since we know we are going to perform on an on-site environment, we can summarize the test as shown in the following table:

Number of IPs under scope

1

Test policy

Web applications and server

IP address

192.168.10.110

Summary of tests to be performed

Port Scanning

Test for Web application vulnerabilities

Test for server vulnerabilities

Compromising any other network connected to the target host

Objectives

Gain user level access to the server

Escalate privileges to the highest possible level

Gain access to the credentials for web and server applications

Test type

Black box test

Additionally, let us also keep a diagrammatic view of the entire test to make things easier for us to remember and understand...
