Dark Web Assessment

Cybercriminals buy, sell, and trade stolen credentials, source code, and customer records in hidden forums. If your data is already there, attackers may be preparing to use it. Packetlabs, North America’s trusted penetration testing company, keeps a 24/7 eye on over 4,000 underground communities and 14 billion leaked credentials. Each time our sensors match your identifiers, a Packetlabs penetration tester validates the find and demonstrates how it could impact your business, reducing investigation time by 10x and cutting incident-response costs by 95%. If you require ongoing vigilance, you can seamlessly upgrade to 24/7 Dark Web Monitoring, keeping a constant eye on the underground so attackers lose their advantage.

Your three‑step path to Dark Web clarity:

  1. Detect Exposure: We scan illicit forums, dumps, and marketplaces for your domains, credentials, and brand assets.

  2. Validate and Assess Risk: Our testers confirm each finding, trace potential breach sources, and connect leaks to their real-world business impact. Safeguard your brand, data, and customers long before attackers can cash in.

  3. Act With Confidence: You receive a prioritized action plan that can be extended into continuous Dark Web Monitoring for 24/7 protection if needed. Don't let criminals know more about your business than you do.

Service Highlights

Assessment First. Know Where You Stand.

Our one-time Dark Web Assessment gives you a baseline view of whether your credentials, code, or customer data are already exposed, and what that means for your business. Why it matters: Without visibility, attackers move first. Establishing a baseline allows you to gain control, prioritize fixes, and brief leadership with facts instead of assumptions.

There are countless reasons to perform penetration testing and we've outlined five that we feel apply to most organizations.

Our Uncompromising Standards.

CREST Logo

CREST-Accredited Expertise

You, your leadership, and your team can’t afford guesswork; but need trust and proof that the people testing your defenses meet the highest standards. That’s why Packetlabs earned CREST-accreditation, cybersecurity’s gold standard, awarded only after rigorous, hands‑on exams and ongoing audits by the Council of Registered Security Testers.

Beyond Automated Testing

While automated scanners can uncover simple surface-level findings, Packetlabs’ expert-led manual-first penetration tests probe the logic, business workflows, and chained exploits that scanners routinely overlook. Leveraging manual exploitation techniques, threat-intel-driven scenarios, and creative lateral thinking, our team exposes high-impact vulnerabilities competitors miss and translates them into clear, fix-ready guidance.

Deep Dark‑Web Indexing via Flare.io

Powered by Flare.io’s continuous crawl of 4,000+ marketplaces, private chats, and data dumps, we sweep billions of records daily.

That depth means we catch stolen credentials and source code long before they’re resold or weaponized.

No More False Alarms.

Packetlabs doesn’t just ping you with raw dumps. An OSCP‑accredited pentester recreates the breach scenario for every match, confirms what an attacker could really do, and then alerts your team with fix‑ready guidance. You get signal, not noise, and can act with confidence.

Why Invest in Dark Web Assessments?

Real-Time Results

Our Dark Web Investigators monitor the following in real time for maximum protection and insights: 4000 cybercrime communities; 56 million stealer logs; and 2 million threat actor profiles.

In-Depth Validation

When we find a match, our team proceeds to validate the accuracy and demonstrates the impact before reporting to you for action. Validating includes verifying the leaked credentials are viable and thoroughly outlining the impacted digital properties to which those credentials provide access, thereby going deeper than internal teams have capacity for.

Mitigate Damaging Losses

Is your organization keeping track of potentially harmful data leaks that may live on the Dark Web? Through partnership with Flare, we cut investigation times by up to 95%, providing your team with findings that automatically provide context-rich events and simple pivots.

Fortify Your Defenses

Monitoring enables organizations like yours to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals by identifying emerging threats, mitigating risks, and assisting you in fortifying your defenses against evolving attack vectors.
