Internal Network & Cloud Penetration Testing
One stolen password is all it takes to get inside. Raxis tests what happens next the way a real attacker would: manual, creative, and relentless.
The Breach Doesn’t Start at Your Firewall
Assume the attacker is already inside. We show you what happens next.
One Click From Inside
Phishing, stolen credentials, and rogue insiders put attackers behind your firewall every day. Most breaches start with a foothold, not a perimeter exploit.
Flat Networks Fall Fast
Weak segmentation and legacy protocols let an attacker move from one workstation to domain admin in hours.
Cloud Misconfigurations
Overprivileged IAM roles, public storage buckets, and exposed keys are the most common findings we see in AWS, Azure, and GCP.
What We Test
A Raxis internal or cloud penetration test goes far beyond a vulnerability scan. Starting from the same foothold a real attacker would have, our engineers see how far it can be taken.
Active Directory attack paths
Kerberoasting, delegation abuse, and misconfigured permissions that turn a standard user account into domain admin.
Lateral movement and privilege escalation
We pivot between systems the way real attackers do, mapping how far one compromised host can reach.
Manual exploitation
We validate and exploit vulnerabilities by hand, chaining weaknesses to demonstrate real-world impact, not theoretical risk.
Credential attacks
LLMNR poisoning, hash capture, and offline password cracking test your password policies where they matter most.
Network segmentation
We verify that sensitive segments, including PCI cardholder data environments, are truly isolated from the rest of your network.
Cloud and VPC environments
IAM policies, storage, and workloads across AWS, Azure, and GCP are tested alongside your on-premises systems.
Point-in-Time or Continuous
Raxis Strike
Point-in-Time Penetration Testing
A traditional, scheduled internal or cloud penetration test with a defined scope and full report. Ideal for annual compliance testing.
Both are performed manually by senior US-based Raxis engineers holding certifications such as OSCP and OSCE.
Built for Compliance
Internal penetration testing and segmentation validation are required or strongly recommended by PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, GLBA, CMMC, and cyber insurance underwriters. Raxis reports are written to satisfy auditors and include an attestation letter you can share with customers and partners.
Scanning Isn’t Pentesting
Many low-cost “penetration tests” are automated scans with a new label. Ask any provider who will actually test your network, what they’ve found in past engagements, and to show a sample report. We regularly finish jobs other vendors couldn’t.
A Raxis clean report means your network withstood a genuine attack, not just a scanner.
No Travel Required: The Raxis Transporter
We ship you a Transporter, a small device that plugs into your network and connects securely back to our engineers. For cloud and VPC environments, a virtual Transporter deploys directly into AWS, Azure, or GCP. Setup takes minutes, there’s nothing to configure, and no one has to fly anywhere.

Attack Storyboard
A step-by-step narrative shows exactly how we got in and how far we could go.
Included Retest
We verify your fixes and deliver a clean final report at no extra cost.
Findings We See in the Wild
These are real vulnerabilities our engineers find on internal networks and cloud environments again and again.
Broadcast Protocol Poisoning
LLMNR and NBT-NS responses hand us password hashes just for being on the network.
Kerberoast-able Service Accounts
Service accounts with weak passwords that any domain user can request and crack offline.
Weak Domain Passwords
Password policies that look fine on paper but fall to our cracking rigs in minutes.
Overprivileged IAM Roles
Cloud roles granted far more access than they need, turning one leaked key into a full account takeover.
Forgotten Systems
Hosts running outdated software with public exploits available.
Failed Segmentation
Flat networks where any workstation can reach domain controllers, databases, and the cardholder data environment.
Cloud Platform Coverage: AWS, Azure, GCP, and Beyond
Most environments are multi-cloud or hybrid, and each platform fails in its own way. Raxis tests your full footprint in one engagement, mapping how a weakness in one account or service opens the door to the rest.
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
IAM roles and policies, S3 bucket exposure, EC2 and Lambda, and VPC configurations.
Microsoft Azure
Entra ID (Azure AD), Blob storage, virtual networks, Function Apps, and Key Vault.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Cloud IAM, storage buckets, Compute Engine, Cloud Functions, and GKE clusters.
Salesforce
Permission models, sharing rules, and misconfigurations that expose customer data.
Hybrid and On-Premises
The seams between cloud and on-prem, where trust relationships and synced identities create attack paths neither side sees alone.
Other Platforms
DigitalOcean, Linode, IBM Cloud, and specialized providers get the same manual, exploit-driven testing.
Raxis Hack Stories
Our stories are based on real events encountered by Raxis engineers; however, some details have been altered or omitted to protect our customers’ identities.
The Bank Heist
Banks tend to have mature perimeters, and their teams are often confident the inside is just as strong. Internal penetration tests exist to check that assumption.
During an internal engagement at a bank, our team recovered previously used credentials from an employee workstation. Testing those credentials carefully across systems led to domain access, and cracked password hashes produced logins that worked on employee workstations and the core banking system itself.
As a controlled proof of concept, we logged in as a teller to initiate a funds transfer, then approved it as a manager. We demonstrated it live for the bank, which used the Raxis report to drive immediate improvements to credential hygiene and access controls.
