Core Impact
Penetration testing software to safely uncover and exploit security weaknesses
Core Impact is designed to enable security teams to conduct advanced penetration tests with ease. With guided automation and certified exploits, the powerful penetration testing software enables you to safely test your environment using the same techniques as today's adversaries.
Replicate attacks across network infrastructure, endpoints, web, and applications to reveal exploited vulnerabilities, empowering you to immediately remediate risks.
Simple enough for your first test, powerful enough for the rest.
Rapid Penetration Testing
Use automated Rapid Penetration Tests (RPTs) to discover, test, and report in just a few simple steps.
Core Certified Exploits
Test with confidence using a trusted platform designed and supported by experts for more than 20 years.
Centralized Toolset
Maximize resources by gathering information, exploiting systems, and generating reports, all in one place.
Key Features
Guided Automation
Core Impact's Rapid Penetration Tests (RPTs) are accessible automations designed to automate common and repetitive tasks. These high-level tests help optimize the use of your security resources by simplifying processes, maximizing efficiency, and enabling pen testers to focus on more complex issues.
Certified Exploits
Leverage our professionally written and validated exploit library for real-world testing capabilities. This stable library of commercial-grade exploits has real-time updates of new penetration testing exploits and tests for additional platforms as they become available, including third party exploits from ExCraft.
Patented Agents
Core Impact’s patented Core Agents simplify interactions with remote hosts. You can tell Core Impact what you’d like to do with the remote host and the agent will take care of the technical aspects.
Robust Error Prevention
Enable programmable self-destruct capabilities for agents at different levels (product, workspace, module/RPT). This means no agent is left behind after testing to drain resources or be used as a potential backdoor for attackers.
Teaming
Multiple security testers have the capability to interact in the same session, giving teams the ability to securely share data and delegate testing tasks. These shared workspaces provide a common view of discovered and compromised network targets for optimal collaboration.
Reporting
Automated reporting capabilities for consistent, thorough recording of engagements that can be used to plan and prioritize remediation efforts and prove compliance for regulations like PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA.
Reports also feature the option of adding the layer output of the MITRE ATT&CK™ framework, a matrix of known attack tactics and techniques that can help classify attacks and further prioritize risks.
