FAQ NodeZero

NodeZero™ is our fully autonomos cyber attacker, orchestrating and releasing 100s of attacker tools, tactics, and techniques in a continuous stream allowing you to fix the vulnerabilities BEFORE an attack happens.

We provide a secure web application where you can configure, launch, and learn from your pentest and threat detection operations.  All threats are noted in detail including cause, risk, and how to fix steps. All results are encrypted and require your authorization and an account to access.

From building out your ephemeral host to 1-click reporting, we will guide you through the process.

Minutes to set up on a Docker host and call in an ephemeral one-time curl command, and then about ~40 seconds per enumerated IP/Host (internal) and subdomain (external/OSINT) in your environment. You can plan for a /24 network segment to take just under 2 hours or 10K IPs/Hosts/Subs environment to take just over a week.    Fast. Continuous and Unlimited Protection.

A single host running Docker. No agents to monitor or maintain, no taps or sensors, no credentialled access, no special configurations.   We have done all the work for you – just run it.

The NodeZero™ Docker host needs to communicate with the service command and control infrastructure via encrypted HTTPS over TCP 443.

No. NodeZero™ is focused on attack vectors. It chains security misconfigurations, known software vulnerabilities, weak credentials, and dangerous defaults to maneuver through your environment using what is accessible and exploitable.

This ain’t your grandma’s pentesting platform. We started with simple design principles:

• No persistent agents
• 100% coverage
• Safe to run in production
• 1-click user experience
• No cheating, scripting, or humans

Those principles are manifested in our differentiation such as:

• Chaining kill-chain action, attacks, and findings
• Providing environmental context, which leads to true prioritization
• Speed to TTV, and ROI gains momentum
• No training, no tuning, no configurations…there is zero maintenance

This is Autonomos.ai Threat Detection as a Service

NodeZero™ augments and accelerates your internal IT  Security Operations with a complementary and automated Threat, giving you increased capability that you control and schedule for immediate operations that protect the company data, business and brand.

NodeZero™ augments and accelerates your Pen-testing / threat detection with 50x coverage in 50x less time, automatically orchestrating full-spectrum attack tools and penetration tests (internal, external, OSINT) saving time, talent, and treasure.

NodeZero™ is your self-service threat detector, automatically orchestrating full-spectrum attack tools and penetration tests (internal, external, OSINT) with 50x .coverage in 50x less time than traditional consultants, and at far less cost per test/operation.

We thoroughly research the safety of any known exploit (e.g. denial of service vs. buffer overflow vs. directory traversal, etc.), and prove it. Any and all exploitations of vulnerabilities are continually and thoroughly tested in our own cyber range against a wide range of operating systems and applications.

• If we determine the exploit is 100% safe, NodeZero™ will exploit it automatically
• If we determine the exploit is 100% safe but may change the environment, the exploit is on by default but can be disabled by the user in the Advanced Config
• If we determine the exploit is < 100% safe, a user must deliberately authorize (turn on) the exploit in the Advanced Config–i.e., it’ll be off by default

Additionally, certain exploits that cause changes to the environment such as writing data to a system, are configurable in the advanced options for the customer to disable.

Regardless, NodeZero™ will enumerate and validate where possible to accurately determine if a potential exploit is possible. This will show as an “unconfirmed” weakness and consequentially, no proof will have been collected.

No. Unlike VM & BAS tools, NodeZero™ does not require an agent or credentials which—when providing reams of vulnerability lists—falsely presume host and privileged access.

NodeZero™ operates like an unauthenticated attacker (black box), enumerating and exploiting what it finds to build a true attacker’s perspective of your risk.

If you’d like to see how far an attacker can get when compromising a credential within your domain, you can inject a credential (up to 5) into a NodeZero™ operation to be leveraged as an attacker would and see full path and proof of what risk those particular credentials pose to your environment.

Whether injected, discovered, or cracked, NodeZero™ has two goals after obtaining a credential:

Maneuver Laterally

• Enumerate Active Directory for attack paths that lead to more credentials or more privileged access on a host
• Enumerate hosts for elevated permissions and then dump stored credentials in memory, the registry, and other common locations

Obtain Sensitive Information

• Enumerate all endpoints in a network, looking for file shares, databases, and hosts that it can access
• Laterally move and repeat

There are several use-cases where it is useful to understand how far an attacker may get after compromising a credential:

• Regular User– Attackers have many common paths to compromise a regular user through phishing, breach data, or poor security hygiene. Whether compromised or deliberate (such as with an Insider Threat), ensuring further compromise is not possible is critical based on the highly demonstrated likelihood of occurrence.
• Service Account – Service accounts are a high-value target for attackers because they are often over-privileged and multi-factor authentication is rarely enabled. This is the perfect scenario for an attacker to obtain the keys to your kingdom. Service accounts are often obtained after a vulnerability is exploited on an out-of-date application. Injecting service account credentials can help you understand the risk in one of those services being compromised.

NodeZero® is a Subscription based service.  Payments can be annually with a discount or monthly.  Cost is based in USD.

The cost is based on the number of IP’s within the organization.

One of our managers will work with you in evaluating the number of IP’s and tailor a solution for you.

No problem.  We will carry out the Threat Detection Tests, Provide the Reports to you, and execute the remedy steps that you authorise.
