Find Vulnerabilities Before Hackers Do
In today’s digital world, cybersecurity isn’t optional—it’s essential. Kosmos provides professional penetration testing services to identify and fix security weaknesses in your web applications, networks, and systems.
Our ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks to uncover risks like SQL injection, XSS, authentication flaws, and misconfigurations—then deliver detailed reports with remediation steps.
🔧 Our Penetration Testing Toolkit
At Kosmos, our penetration testing services are powered by a robust arsenal of over 27 industry-standard cybersecurity tools. Among these, we rely on a core set of eight elite platforms that form the backbone of our offensive security assessments. These tools enable us to simulate real-world cyberattacks with surgical precision, uncovering vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them.
Here’s why our top 8 tools stand out:
🔹 Kali Linux
The gold standard in ethical hacking, Kali Linux is a Debian-based operating system preloaded with hundreds of penetration testing tools. Its stability, customization, and comprehensive toolset make it the preferred platform for our red team operations, ensuring a consistent and powerful environment for all phases of testing.
🔹 Aircrack-ng
Specializing in Wi-Fi network security assessment, Aircrack-ng allows us to evaluate the strength of wireless encryption protocols (WEP, WPA, WPA2). We use it to test the resilience of your wireless infrastructure against unauthorized access and brute-force attacks—ensuring your airwaves remain secure.
🔹 SQLmap
Automated detection and exploitation of SQL injection flaws are critical in web application testing. SQLmap enables us to rapidly identify and validate database-level vulnerabilities, helping prevent data breaches, unauthorized access, and loss of sensitive customer information.
🔹 Metasploit Framework
As one of the most powerful exploitation frameworks available, Metasploit allows us to develop, test, and execute exploit code in controlled environments. It helps us demonstrate the real-world impact of identified vulnerabilities—giving you actionable insights into potential attack vectors.
🔹 OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy)
An essential tool for dynamic application security testing (DAST), OWASP ZAP is an open-source proxy designed to find security vulnerabilities in web apps during development and after deployment. We use it to detect XSS, CSRF, insecure API endpoints, and other OWASP Top 10 risks with high accuracy.
🔹 Nikto
This versatile web server scanner performs comprehensive checks for dangerous files, outdated software, misconfigurations, and known vulnerabilities. Nikto complements our manual testing by quickly scanning large attack surfaces and flagging high-risk areas for deeper analysis.
🔹 John the Ripper
Password security remains a common weak link. John the Ripper helps us audit password strength through advanced cracking techniques, including dictionary, rainbow table, and brute-force attacks. By identifying weak credentials, we help enforce stronger authentication policies across your systems.
🔹 Nmap (Network Mapper)
Nmap is the definitive tool for network discovery and reconnaissance. We use it to map your digital footprint, identify live hosts, detect open ports, and analyze service versions—laying the foundation for targeted, intelligent penetration tests while minimizing false positives.
Why These Tools Matter
These eight tools represent the synergy between automation, depth, and real-world relevance. They are trusted globally by cybersecurity professionals, regularly updated by active open-source communities, and compliant with standards such as OSSTMM, PTES, and NIST.
At Kosmos, we don’t just run scans—we interpret results intelligently, correlate findings, and deliver clear remediation guidance. Our methodology combines automated power with human expertise to ensure no vulnerability goes unnoticed… or unpatched.
🛡️ Defend with data. Secure with science.
1. What is penetration testing, and why does my business need it?
Penetration testing (or pen testing) is a simulated cyberattack conducted by ethical hackers to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in your systems, networks, or applications before malicious actors can exploit them.
At Kosmos Consult, we perform structured, real-world attack simulations to evaluate your cybersecurity posture. With rising threats like data breaches, ransomware, and compliance violations, regular pen testing helps protect sensitive data, maintain customer trust, and meet regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS).
✅ Proactive defense starts with knowing your weaknesses.
2. Which systems or assets can you test?
We offer comprehensive penetration testing across multiple domains, including:
- Web Applications (e.g., portals, e-commerce platforms)
- Network Infrastructure (internal & external networks, firewalls, routers)
- Wireless Networks (Wi-Fi security assessment)
- APIs and Cloud Environments (AWS, Azure, etc.)
- Mobile Applications (iOS & Android)
Our approach is fully customizable based on your business size, industry, and risk profile. Whether you’re a startup or an enterprise, we tailor our scope to ensure maximum coverage and relevance.
🔧 No blind spots. Just thorough, targeted assessments.
3. Do you use automated tools only, or do real experts conduct the tests?
While we leverage powerful automated tools like Nmap, SQLmap, Metasploit, and OWASP ZAP, our process is driven by certified human experts, not scripts alone.
Automated scanners help us cover ground quickly, but true vulnerabilities often hide in logic flaws, misconfigurations, or business-specific workflows—areas only experienced testers can uncover. At Kosmos Consult, every engagement combines automated precision with manual expertise to deliver deeper insights and fewer false positives.
🧠 Technology empowers us. Expertise defines us.
4. Will penetration testing disrupt my business operations?
Our testing is carefully planned and executed to minimize impact on your systems and users. We begin with a discovery phase to understand your environment, define safe testing windows, and set clear rules of engagement.
While certain aggressive tests (like denial-of-service simulations) are avoided in production unless explicitly requested, most assessments—including vulnerability scanning and authentication testing—are non-intrusive and pose negligible risk.
🔒 Security should never compromise stability.
5. What happens after the test? Do you provide remediation support?
Absolutely. Our service doesn’t end with a report—we guide you through the entire remediation journey. After testing, you’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report that includes:
- Identified vulnerabilities ranked by risk level (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
- Technical explanations and exploitation proof (where applicable)
- Step-by-step remediation recommendations
- Best practices for long-term security improvement
We also offer optional post-test consulting to assist your IT team in applying fixes and validating patches—ensuring your defenses stay strong.
🛡️ We don’t just find flaws—we help you fix them for good.
