Penetration Testing Services for Townsville

COLETEK offers professional penetration testing and ethical hacking services to identify and address vulnerabilities in your IT systems. Whether you're concerned about data leaks, social engineering, or device-level access — we simulate real-world attacks to protect your infrastructure before real attackers strike.

Types of Penetration Testing

External testing — from outside your network perimeter
Internal testing — simulating an attacker with internal access
Physical & social engineering — testing the human factor
IoT & embedded device testing — smart sensors, routers, etc

Common Vulnerabilities We Detect

Outdated or misconfigured web servers
Admin portals left open to the public
SQL injection or XSS flaws in web apps
Credential leaks and weak passwords
Staff falling for phishing or USB drop attacks

Don’t wait until a breach happens — many businesses only discover they’ve been compromised **months after** the damage is done.

What Is Ethical Hacking?

Ethical hacking involves testing a company’s IT systems — just like a malicious hacker would — but with permission. We work with clients to test their defences under real-world conditions using tools and techniques used by attackers.

Our team has experience in Linux exploitation, WiFi cracking, physical security testing, and embedded system reverse engineering. We've helped secure:

SMEs and startup infrastructure
Public-facing websites and portals
On-premise networks and internal tools
Prototype embedded and IoT devices

We don’t just run tools — we think like hackers.
