Abstract
A system and method for performing a security audit of a target network. The system includes a device that establishes a connection to the target network through a communication link. The device has reverse tunneling capabilities for establishing a secure tunnel over the Internet. The system also includes a receiving computer connected to the device through the secure tunnel established by the device over the Internet, and the receiving computer sends commands to the device for performing the security audit of the target network. The device is deployed onsite near the network and the receiving computer is located at a remote offsite location. Also, the device may be covertly hidden onsite near the network to simulate a malicious attack on the target network.
