Penetration testing is the process of detecting computer vulnerabilities and gaining access and data on targeted computer systems with goal to detect vulnerabilities and security issues and proactively protect system. In this paper we presented case of internal penetration test which helped to proactively prevent potential weaknesses of targeted system with inherited vulnerabilities which is Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). Many organizations suffer great losses due to risk materialization because of missing implementing standards for information security that includes patching, change management, active monitoring and penetration testing, with goal of better dealing with security vulnerabilities. With BYOD policy in place companies taking greater risk appetite allowing mobile device to be used on corporate networks. In this paper we described how we used network hacking techniques for penetration testing for the right cause which is to prevent potential misuse of computer vulnerabilities. This paper shows how different techniques and tools can be jointly used in step by step process to successfully perform penetration testing analysis and reporting.
