Rapid7 study shows just how easily corporate networks are p0wned by hackers

July 25, 2018 by Paul Spoerry 1 Comment



[RESEARCH] Lessons From a Season of Penetration Testing
Based on the results of 250+ pen testing engagements, we reveal the most effective methods to compromise networks and high-value credentials. Learn more.

At least one live vulnerability was exploited in 84 percent of the engagements, though when not forced to access the network remotely, some level of compromise was assured nearly 100 percent of the time. Similarly, network misconfigurations allowed for infiltration in 80 percent of external tests versus 96 percent during a simulated insider threat.

The hackers were able to capture at least one credential 53 percent of the time, a figure that shot up to 86 percent with access to the target’s local network. And with network access, via wireless or LAN connection, the hackers were able to gain complete administrative control over the organization’s network 67 percent of the time.

People also still use a horrible password as often as possible.

About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
