Under Full Siege we perform a comprehensive assessment of your internet-facing systems and processes, and give you a report full of actionable insights and recommendations on how to meaningfully improve your defences and resilience to sophisticated DDoS and bot attacks.
Are you worn out from trying to defend against cyber attacks, playing endless whack-a-mole to plug holes you didn’t even know existed, despite spending considerable budget on security?
If so, we can help.
We will assess all of your internet-facing systems, discovering exploitable weaknesses in all your assets — hardware, software, network, devices, servers, clients, firewall, everything. A comprehensive and holistic overview of your organization’s critical technology systems and processes.
What you gain is crucial understanding and knowledge, about how attackers could compromise your business, and how well set up you are to respond to them.
We might even discover ways in which you’ve been breached in the past and didn’t even know.
We’ll provide a report full of actionable insights, tangible things you can implement to address the constant threat of attack, and breath a little easier. Our number one priority is a material improvement in your security posture.
A comprehensive enumeration of your perimeter, including Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs), public-facing IP addresses, primary domains, and subdomains; followed by a detailed enumeration to uncover technologies, response behaviours, login mechanisms, and exposed user information.
Identification of vulnerabilities that could be easily exploited, such as unpatched or misconfigured software, weak or absent authentication mechanisms, rate limiting settings and MFA configuration, and publicly exposed user information leading to susceptibility to brute force attacks.
Evaluation of your defenses and resilience to denial of services attacks including: volumetric types like flood attacks, resource exhaustion attacks; your resistance to brute force type attacks like credential stuffing and password spraying; your response mechanisms like rate limiting settings for account protection
Evaluate and highlight the defense mechanisms deployed across your infrastructure, including firewalls, WAFs (Web Application Firewalls), anti-DDoS solutions, etc. Assess the limits of these defenses, including bandwidth, throughput, and rate-limiting thresholds.
Test bypassability of these defenses, focusing on evasion techniques like JA3/JA4 fingerprint spoofing, CAPTCHA bypass, and JavaScript challenge evasion.
Test the limitations of your DDoS mitigation solutions and the effectiveness of protection during simulated attacks.
Assess your logging and monitoring mechanisms to ensure that attacks and abnormal activities are detected and alerted.
Evaluate the processes in place for detecting and responding to attacks, including DDoS detection mechanisms such as traffic volume monitoring, anomaly detection, and alerting; Credential stuffing and brute force attack detection capabilities (e.g., rate limit monitoring, failed login thresholds); Incident response processes, ensuring that the organization can effectively handle and mitigate such attacks when they occur; Verification of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) measures, ensuring compliance with industry best practices for security incident management.
A comprehensive report full of actionable improvements, for example including (but not limited to):
Identify and address exploitable servers within the environment, including those that may be publicly accessible or vulnerable to known exploits.
Provide recommendations for immediate patching and isolation of vulnerable assets.
Introduce or enhance the deployment of Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and anti-DDoS solutions with more granular rate-limiting and filtering capabilities.
Recommendations to implement DNSSEC to improve the integrity of DNS traffic and prevent spoofing attacks.
Implement stricter password policies (e.g., enforcing password complexity, expiration).
Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical services to strengthen defenses against credential stuffing and brute force attacks.
Critical infrastructure, for example databases, file servers, requiring additional controls such as more stringent access controls (e.g., IP whitelisting, VPN enforcement), encryption at rest and encryption in transit for sensitive data, regularly testing and hardening systems and servers.
DDoS defenses under simulated application-layer and volumetric attacks.
DDoS defense evasion (e.g. pulse wave, carpet bombing, GRE targeting, Fingerprint JA3/JA4, browser javascript challenge, human behaviour detection, captcha evasion).
Brute force defenses by simulating login attempts through credential stuffing and password spraying techniques.
Test alerting and logging configurations to ensure that these incidents are flagged and responded to effectively.
Test the incident response procedures, including the speed of detection and mitigation of DDoS or brute force attack attempts.
Red Teaming is often seen as the gold standard for security validation, but its value is limited by scope and methodology. In many cases it becomes a test of the Red Team’s creativity rather than a reflection of actual threat exposure. Most engagements eventually focus on spear phishing and simulated data exfiltration, with limited relevance to day-to-day defenses.
In contrast a Full Siege, embracing The Siege Mentality, grounds itself in reality; it focuses on what the market, and attackers, already know about you. It uses public intelligence and exposed surface data — not fantasy scenarios — to evaluate risk. This mindset is continuous, not periodic. It’s about staying ahead of the storm, not just testing your umbrella once a year.
DDoS and unexpected traffic can lead to service outages, degraded performance, and security bypasses. Our assessment identifies these risks before attackers do, helping organizations build more robust defenses. Additionally, it is crucial to assess not only the technical detection and mitigation measures but also the effectiveness of incident response processes and operational procedures in handling unexpected traffic scenarios.
Penetration testing primarily focuses on security vulnerabilities related to unauthorized access and data breaches. Our testing is centered on availability, resilience, and defensive control validation, which requires a different approach, specialized techniques, and purpose-built tools.
Our tool supports high parallelization, allowing us to efficiently simulate large-scale and complex attack scenarios. It also incorporates bypass techniques to test the effectiveness of defenses against evasion strategies. Additionally, it includes infotainment and educational features to provide context, explain attack methodologies, and enhance reporting. This ensures that organizations gain leading-edge knowledge at a minimum cost, improving both technical resilience and operational preparedness.
No. We do not engage in hacking or unauthorized access; our testing methodology is focused purely on availability and traffic resilience within agreed-upon boundaries, making formal security clearances unnecessary.
