CORE IMPACT is a unique software product. It provides a comprehensive and professional framework for penetration testing. Until recently penetration testing was an obscure and almost magical discipline that could only be performed by highly technical and experienced individuals. CORE IMPACT changed that. CORE IMPACT provides an organization's security or systems administrator with the most advanced penetration testing techniques, including professional grade exploit code for remote and local system compromise and privilege escalation, complete accountability, reporting and clean up capabilities.

And to the expert penetration tester CORE IMPACT provides a framework in which to develop, retain and use information security knowledge in a highly cost-effective manner. Thus improving the quality of work and substantially reducing tedious and time-consuming tasks.
