Infection Monkey

Infection Monkey is a Breach and Attack Simulation tool designed to help you determine the resilience of the network's security. The idea behind the tool is to infect the machine and propagate, while acting as a server for the Security Administrator to visualize the entire process. Based on the data, administrators can determine the strength of the network against BAS attacks and take the corresponding measures.

It is worth mentioning that the tool tests the network against the Forrester ZTX (Zero Trust eXtended), a framework that has drawn the attention of cybersecurity experts in the recent years. This is one of the first open-source programs designed to test out the strength of the Zero Trust concept.

Once you run the program, it simulates an attack on the network and then provides you with a complete reports on how it stacks against the Zero Trust security framework. Launching the app can be done in three easy steps. The first entails running the app on one or more machines, whereas the second steps implies you sit back and let the app determine whether your network includes segmentation, encryption or other security features.

As you probably hinted, the last step is assessing the findings, especially since the program generated a comprehensive report that enable you to figure out whether the private or public network adheres to the pillars of Zero Trust.

Infection Monkey is an advanced tool designed to check your network security against the latest cyber-threats. Thanks to this tool you can minutely analyze, network segmentation and tunneling, open data endpoints, cloud privilege escalation opportunities, mandatory access control – particularly for the new users –, exploitable machines, endpoint security active, malicious activity timeline as well as the cloud privilege escalation opportunities.
