Overview

Infection Monkey can help assess your network compliance with Zero Trust Extended framework by checking for various violations of Zero Trust principles.

Configuration

  • Exploits -> Credentials This configuration value will be used for brute-forcing. We use most popular passwords and usernames, but feel free to adjust it according to your native language and other factors. Keep in mind that long lists means longer scanning times.
  • Network -> Scope Make sure to properly configure the scope of the scan. You can select Local network scan and allow Monkey to propagate until maximum Scan depth(hop count) is reached or you can fine tune it by providing specific network ranges in Scan target list. Scanning local network is more realistic, but providing specific targets will make the scanning process substantially faster.
  • Network -> Network analysis -> Network segmentation testing This configuration setting allows you to define subnets that should be segregated from each other.

In general, other configuration value defaults should be good enough, but feel free to see the “Other” section for tips and tricks about other features and in-depth configuration parameters you can use.

Exploit password and user lists

Suggested run mode

Running Monkey from the Island alone will give you reasonable results, but to increase the coverage for segmentation and single node tests make sure to run monkey manually on various machines in the network. The more machines monkey runs on, the better the coverage.

Assessing results

See the results in the Zero Trust report section. “The Summary” section will give you an idea about which Zero Trust pillars were tested, how many tests were done and test statuses. You can see more details below in the “Test Results” section, where each test is sorted by pillars and principles it tests. To get even more details about what Monkey did, go down to the “Findings” section and observe “Events” of different findings. “Events” will tell you what exactly Infection Monkey did and when it was done, to make it easy to cross reference it with your defensive solutions.
