Does vPenTest perform any exploits?
ANSWER Yes.
vPenTest performs several exploit attempts depending on the vulnerabilities present within the network. The exploits that are performed during testing are known to be safe and typically provide access to systems and/or resources. After successful exploitation, the Agent also performs post-exploitation attacks, which includes privilege escalation and lateral movement within the network environment.
It should be noted that these exploits have been tested for several years, and dozens of times if they are new, to ensure minimal impact. See the following article for more information on potential impact: Will I experience any interruptions during testing?
