Penetration Testing Software: Core Impact

Transform potential security gaps into actionable priorities by using the same techniques as today's threat actors. 
Core Impact is an advanced pen testing tool that mirrors the adversarial mindset through four essential testing dimensions:

Automation

Free up time to address more complicated issues by automating common and repetitive tasks. With an intuitive interface and detailed wizards, testers can ensure consistent, repeatable results while reducing manual effort.

Exploit Library

Use an expansive library of expertly crafted exploits that cover multiple platforms, systems, and applications. Regularly expanded with more commercial-grade exploits to reflect today's threats.

Centralization

Manage all phases of an engagement in a unified environment, from information gathering to generating reports. With retesting and remediation validation capabilities, security teams can verify that vulnerabilities have been properly addressed.

Multi-Vector

Test across network, client-side, and web application vectors to identify complex security weaknesses. Pivot seamlessly between target systems to trace potential attack paths that reveal how initial access points can lead to compromising critical assets.

Core Impact by the Numbers

Core Impact's constantly growing library features commercial-grade exploits written and validated by trusted experts.

An industry legacy, Core Impact is one of the cybersecurity's most battle-tested penetration testing solutions.

Common security testing tasks are automated across vectors to optimize the use of security resources.

Penetration Testing Services

In addition to providing penetration testing tools for in-house teams, Core Security offers third party services that complement internal efforts by delivering an outside perspective on organizational security controls. Backed by more than 35 years of offensive security experience, our expert consultants conduct advanced penetration testing and security assessments. Each engagement is carefully tailored to provide maximum value for every environment.

Our security professionals work collaboratively with your team to take a proactive approach to security, helping you validate compliance with industry regulations, uncover novel attack vectors, evaluate user security awareness, and simulate attacks that target your most critical assets. By combining internal tools with external expertise, organizations can gain a more complete view of their security posture and practical guidance for strengthening their defenses.

Additional Tooling

Impacket

Impacket is a collection of Python classes for working with network protocols. Impacket focuses on providing low-level programmatic access to the packets and, for some protocols (e.g. SMB1-3 and MSRPC), the protocol implementation itself. Core Security maintains and continues to develop Impacket, as well as the open-source ecosystem around it, enabling community partners to enhance Impacket through contributions.

Interoperable Solutions

Core Impact can be complemented by Fortra's red teaming tools. Cobalt Strike emulates advanced adversaries to perform post-exploitation activities and Outflank Security Tooling (OST) is an evasive toolset for advanced offensive engagements. Each solution offers unique capabilities and can also be combined in a powerful proactive portfolio that can expand testing capabilities with enhanced functionality.
