Exploitation and Post-Exploitation test attackers' ability to exploit vulnerabilities, gain initial access, and then move laterally through your network to compromise critical systems.
Exploitation is the process of actively exploiting identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to systems. The MICAN.ro team uses public and custom exploits to test the resilience of systems in Romania against real attacks, always respecting agreed limits and professional ethics.
Post-Exploitation simulates what an attacker does AFTER compromising a system: lateral movement, privilege escalation, credential dumping, persistence, and data exfiltration. This phase identifies how far an attacker can get in your infrastructure.
We use Metasploit Framework, Cobalt Strike, custom exploits, and MITRE ATT&CK techniques to simulate real attacks. After gaining initial access, we test: lateral movement (Pass-the-Hash, Kerberoasting), privilege escalation (kernel exploits, misconfigurations), credential extraction (Mimikatz, LSASS dumping), and maintaining access (backdoors, scheduled tasks).
Most companies in Romania focus on preventing initial access but ignore that modern attackers (ransomware, APT) spend months in the network before attacking. Post-Exploitation simulates this scenario and identifies whether an attacker who compromised a single laptop can reach critical servers.
Companies in Romania with complex networks, Active Directory, critical servers, sensitive data, or advanced compliance requirements (ISO 27001, SOC 2). Organizations wanting to test the effectiveness of network segmentation and security controls in real breach scenarios.
