help Core Impact FAQ
What is Core Impact actually used for?
Core Impact is a commercial penetration-testing platform from Core Security, not a conventional endpoint detection and response product. Security teams use it to run controlled exploits and assess whether systems can be compromised.
What kinds of tests can Core Impact perform?
It supports authorized testing of areas such as endpoints, networks, wireless environments, and web applications. The goal is to validate security controls and document exploitable weaknesses, not to provide unsupervised attack capability.
Does Core Impact work on Windows, macOS, and Linux?
Core Impact can test systems across common enterprise platforms, but the exact modules and agents depend on the licensed product version. It should only be used against systems where the tester has explicit permission.
How is Core Impact different from an EDR?
An EDR continuously watches endpoints for suspicious activity and helps respond to incidents. Core Impact is an offensive security testing tool that simulates attacks so an organization can measure whether its defenses stop them.
